I've been told Oscars do a dog food for sensitive stomachs My dogs are on Oscars Pinnacle Plus it has the added ingredients for joints and they love it they a whole range of foods and their universal is cheaper and far better than the likes of Pedigree and Barking Bakers!!! Would not touch tinned/pouches at all at least 75% is water so basically you are buying a can of water

Just has a look at the Oscars web site, it does seem good stuff. But it's around the same price as burns, which I know is very well recommended, so I'd probaly give that a try before trying oscars. Thanks for the tip though.

At the minute I'm looking at the Pero Gold

Pero Gold Ingredients:
Extruded Cereals, Meat Products, Pasta, Animal Fats, Fishmeal, Vegetable Oils, Vitamins and Minerals, Vitamin B1, Vitamin B2, Vitamin B6, Vitamin B12, Biotin, Folic Acid, Nicotinic Acid (Niacin), Pantothenic Acid from Calcium Pantothenate, Deoderase - a natural extract from the yucca plant to aid in neutralising offensive odors

Pero Gold Typical Analysis
Protein: 20%
Oil: 5.5%
Fibre: 3.25%
Ash: 10%
Vitamin A: 8,000 IU/Kg
Vitamin D3: 1,200 IU/Kg
Vitamin E: 80 IU/Kg
(alpha tocopherol)
Copper: 25 mg/Kg
(as cupric sulphate)

I havent found out which cereals are extruded either!!! Same with the puppy food. I think I will write to them. What is ash also? I have noticed petfood has ash in, whats that for? is it a filler or is it for digestion? Or is it potassium?

Hedley's poos have firmed up a bit but are still dark greeny grey. I think I might have had this with one of our other dogs when they were on dry food either James W or Burns maybe. It was a premium one.

I have had Purina Large Breed and thats a good one too - my adult DDB male just got bored of it LOL Like he does with every food - so I swap between a few to keep him eating

I think you might be paying through the nose for your royal canin. I get mine from royal canin dog food, dry food from The Giant Pet Store and I get my delivery free

Just ordered from CSJ which is mean to be extremely good stuff so we'll see what happens.

I have just started to feed my mob on Arden Grange or Skinners Duck and Rice depending on funds.Iused to feed CSJ but found that my old Leonberger was always hungry on it and their coats were dry and harsh.Since changing Kez 17yr old collie has stopped having little accidents when excited and Indie who is 13yr old Leonberger has stopped counter surfing.Ican also feed all the dogs the same as i have a couple of CKCS who get colitis but havent had to go to the vets since the change of food

I have received samples today of Arden Grange puppy food and Burns (the real burns not Robbies or Luaths). Hedley really liked Arden Grange but there doesnt seem to be a stockist nearby.

I have noticed that if you use mail order it can be quite costly for postage unless you spend quite a bit. I dont want to buy huge quantities until I have found the food that really suits him.

Anyone found a cheap mail order/delivery for Arden Grange?

If you want cheap Arden Grange and can buy a couple of bags at a time then GJW Titmuss do a good deal at 2 x 15kg Lamb for £51.98 (which I make just under £26 a bag)

Thanks, for a bigger older dog that might be a good idea.

But I have a small yorkie pup and dont want to be left with an excess. I will have to travel to find a stockist, but it may be cheaper to do this than mail order.

I have to report though, we only started giving him Arden Grange yesterday and Im pleased to report that this morning we actually have BROWN POO!! I will be keeping him on this.
