The absolute tip top best is Lily's Kitchen - Organic Chicken and Vegetable Bake. Formulated by both holistic and conventional vets. It's really good stuff, pricey though... but my dog is so much better since he's been on it and he shines like a mirror. I use their wet food for my cats, which is also amazing.

Maybe if i had a tiny TINY dog, but thats way too expensive for most pet owners. I wonder how much business they do.

I imagine the whole holistic/organic thing is jusification for such high costs.

No way would i pay that much. Not when it contains so little real meat.

Hi

There seems to be wealth of knowledge (which i don't have) on here about dry/complete food. Would anyone mind casting their eye over these ingredients from the food I feed Chester from Europa. He is a fussy eater and I have tried hills, royal canin, natures menu and a few others. Just wanted your opinions if you think its any good.

He is on Europa Lite:-
Rice 40%
maize 18%
sugar beet
poultry meal
chicken fat
brewers yeast
linseed
sunflower oil
seaweed meal
vitamins & minerals
yucca extract

Protein 15%
Oil 6%
Fibre 3.5%
Ash 7.5%
Moisture 9%

He gets fed 185 grans per day split into 2 meals.
I would appreciate any replies

Nikki

15% Protein seems low to me, but I'm not one of the wise ones.

What breed is he? *unsure if certain breeds need a certain amount of protein or not*
