I was planning to put the boys on Arden Grange, but long plan wise it wouldn't be suitable as they're on offer now, but I don't know how long for, so I'm shopping around atm.

in the puppy one: maize is top and fat is 4th on the list, it doesnt look so hot to me, the majority of the protein will be coming from the maize which is hard if not impossible to digest for dogs

Well if I can't find anything else I'll be getting Skinners I think. So it'd be £30/month I hope lol.

Unless there's something just as good for cheaper?

I'd imagine maize is hard to digest but why have Chappie tinned managed to claim it is one of the most easily digestible. I'm suspicious now of any commercial foods.

Skinners; i have some time for as i've bought from the factory and hopefully shortly will arrange a tour round - but then i live locally.

It's probably been mentioned before but this site was very useful to me when I was deciding what pet food to feed my two

Dog Food Reviews
Alot of the food on there is American though, and the prices alone to buy it are high and that's without P+P IF they deliver to the UK.

I'm currently writing down my monthly expense :/

I'm wondering whether or not to start changing the boys food over now or next month :/

So far I've got down a 3kg bag of Beta for Milo and a 3kg bag of Bakers for Zeus.

I'm looking at possibly getting Wainwrights Dry Dog Food, and I'm kinda unsure if 2kg would be enough to transfer the boys to it or not, but then I don't wanna buy a big bag to find out that they don't like it

Also what size would I need to Zeus, large breed or the medium size? He weighs 28kgs at 3 years old and is a Boxer cross.

Also should I get the large breed for Milo? He weighs 21kgs at 4 months old and is a Labrador.

Thanks for any help

I've never heard of it.

I think I may ask my vet which food is best for my boys.

If I can get this job then I should be able to buy them anything, just atm it's a bit tight.

Oh I've noticed that Milo's stools are abit squidy and a tad runny, not really runny just a little bit. I'm currently feeding him Beta Puppy, which he was fed on as he was growing up at his breeders house, he does sneak into Zeus' bowl *Bakers Adult* and the cat and kittens bowls, so maybe it's just that?

But if not what is a better brand then Beta, but not with a stupid price of £30-£40?
