the barf diet is good as long as they have strong stomaches mine found it upset theres,
my 2 have the james wellbeloved duck and veg (no rice) with either tripe or fish or beef mince only a little just to mix in neither of them have smelly poo's (lol)
or itchy coats or anyother problems, dudley is so well muscled now its great after soo long trying every other dog food cheap and expensive and him just loosing weight. even the vet told me there was nothing wrong with him even with blood on his stolls etc and costing me £150 for the pleasure.
but none of that now !
(sorry if a bit rambly had a glass of wine lolol )

with any diet change it has to be done over a matter of about 3 - 4 weeks - steady away so as not to upset the stomach - but I suppose it wont be the diet for evey dog

yes i have had a similar expirience! lolol

Ive been doing a bit of research too ive now got 2 labs both 12 months old and our origional dog Daisy is on royal canin and our new one is on some pants stuff that the people we had her from gave us . having the 2 i wanted to get them on the same but the royal canin is quite expensive even with our discount from the vets. So i found pero and asked for some samples wich arrived on saturday of the lab life food its more than there other foods but with the fact that labs can become over weight if not closely kept in check and the whole joint thing i thought the little extra would be worth it. I must say they wolfed it down gave them no tummy trouble after ,and smelt not too bed either . From the makers its free delivery and 15 kilo is 30 quid ive estimated it will feed both of them for about 3 weeks. Im going to order a bag and see how we go, Did any one check out the link someone put on here yesterday about the addatives put in to dog food that was causing real health problems unreal you just dont know food claims on bags is really misleading , having looked further into this ive found that even Royal canin has 2 preservatives in it that are banned from human consumption because its been linked with cancer !!!!!

I started out feeding my mutt James Wellbeloved
Then he seemed to get a bit bored of it and we tried him on Royal Canin, which he loved but he did seem to put some weight on
He was then diagnosed with artritus in both his front elbows so we now have him on Hills Scientific Light
Costs a fortune but the weight dropped off him and he enjoys it with a tin of oily sardines in a morning

i have fed mine James Wellbeloved and it is a top food but as with all dryed food they get bored qwick dont they!
