Arden Grange has added more cereals to their foods and that is probably why your dogs have gone of it. Also cannot see the point of buying Arden Grange if you are going to have to add something to it personally I have always used Oscars there food is excellent and they are the only company who produces an Honest Label to say what goes in their foods and they list everything go on to their website Oscar Pet Foods UK - Nutritious quality pet foods delivered to your door and give them a ring and its free delivery to your doorstep

Some dogs are unable to break down the enzymes in meat and therefore have had to go on a vegetarian diet.

Have you looked at the ingredients of Oscar ??? Don't think so. It has much more cereal than Arden Grange .

Here's the PREMIUM range of OSCAR:

Universal Chicken & Rice
Wheat 34%, Chicken 20%, Maize 19%, Rice 14%, Poultry fat, Beet pulp, Salt, Dicalcium phosphate, Fructo-oligosaccharides, Tocopherol extracts of natural origin.


Universal Lamb & Rice
Wheat 39%, Lamb 21%, Maize 16%, Rice 12%, Poultry fat, Poultry fat, Beet pulp, Salt, Dicalcium phosphate, Fructo-oligosaccharides, Tocopherol extracts of natural origin.

Almost 70% of these OSCAR foods are cheap fillers (cereals), a great food for chickens or pigeons, but sure. not for Dogs.

Apart from possible grain allergies, intolerances and kidney failures, this is one of the worst dog foods I've ever came across.

I love my dogs and never in my life I would feed them with this .

Just my humble advice - run away from foods that have their major ingredient (1st in the list) cereals.

It's nice they're so honest about what's in the food, shame it's all fillers.

To put it in perspective a bit, if someone took an average human meal, added an unnecessary amount of wheat/rice/corn (take your pick), mashed it all up together, dried it out and formed it into biscuit shapes, sprayed it with artificial vitamins and minerals, possibly a few colourants and preservatives, then you had to eat it day in day out for the rest of your life, would you get bored?

Look into BARF / raw feeding if you really want your dogs to be happy with their food.

I was told that they provide vegetarian food because some dogs can have a meat intolerence and as for the universal range this is the lower end of the market for Oscars my dogs have always been fed on either the Glutinfree chicken and rice and then ater in life the pinnicle of life and have never had any problems with any of them
