But on the other hand good quality ingredients will to some extent always cost more than crap ingredients and fillers so for instance JWB, Arden Grange and my all time favorite Orijen will cost more than other cheaper, in all the sense of the terms, food - although the actual feeding cost may not be as much more as it may at first seem...

I'd agree with you there. Price depends very much on whether the makers have their own factory. The big names Pedigree, Royal Canin, Eukanuba, are owned by large concerns who i think use one factory. Skinners definitely do and i'm hoping to visit them shortly for a factory tour so i'll report back if folk are interested.

Hi guys, just doing a bit of hijacking.

We are about to make another addition to the family (dog family that is) which may put a little financial strain on us if I'm to continue buying just Orijen.

What’s the next best food available on the UK market, "best" being defined as high in meat, low in grain/filler/colourings etc as I'm thinking of mixing it with the Orijen.

Also ordered a boat load of Natures Diet to add as a supplement, I can't bulk buy raw because I don't have room for a chest freezer.

Id say JWB cereals free.. its the only other cereals free food on the UK market as far as I know ... although not sure about the mixing it as each food is complete it may be a bit tricky mixing two together...
Orijen is really great food though and personally even though I got another dog now id rather stick to it

I always try to avoid animal deviratries of which I see none listed, Meat suitable for human comsumption is always important to me too.
The maize always throws me! assuming that maize protien is the same as maize i'e corn, as some dogs do suffer intoerancy to grain

We feed Supadog Sensitive, after having him on all different ones, we have finally found one that doesnt upset his tummy on a regular basis. He has Natures Diet mixed in with it because he doesnt like bikkies on their own very much! Typical GSD? Decent price and for Sabre, a decent food!

JWB has noticably gone down hill since being taken over by mars. Many owners report lose stools and much more active bowel movement then with many other the other equally priced foods.

Havent tried that'll do but use CSJ Herbie rings and am really pleased with it, it smells really good and even my fussy one will eat it and comes out the other end well too

Just seems rather good prices and I'm just checking on ingredients with everyone.
Zeus is being fed Bakers Complete, and Milo is on Purina Beta Puppy. Hopefully CSJ food is alot better then those two

Sorry but anything is better than Bakers Complete, as you can probably tell im not a fan, to much colouring for my liking. I always used to rear puppies on Beta Puppy but changed to CSJ CP27 for the last litter and they did really well on it, so will use it again when need to.
