What dog food do you recommend?

Hi,

I have always feed my dogs pedigree chum dry and tin food ,but the last few days i have been reading its not that good.
I want to now introduce a different food ,but i don`t know which one.

Also my 3 puppies got a taste of mum and dads food about 4 days ago and will not now eat their own and want mum and dads all the time which is pedigree chum small dog (dry food).
I know its not good for them they are now 16 weeks old.

Burns food seems to be a very balanced complete. It works on low protien and high complex carbs. No rubbish too which is a bonus.

Adding mashed veg can help with that. Or fresh stock.

Re: What dog food do you recommend?

In my opinion....

Orijen is the best dry commercial dog food available in the UK

Its 70% meat and 30% fruit and veg, no artifical preservatives. It contains no cereals/grains and a low percentage of carbs.

We feed our dogs a natural raw diet which is something else you might want to consider.

Our cats are fed mainly raw with Orijen dried cat food. I wouldn't feed them anything else.

Re: What dog food do you recommend?

I feed my labrador on Hills - expensive but one of the premier ranges, it does have a high oil % (14% I think) which is good for his coat you just need to watch out you dont give as much as the manufacturers recommend which is a con anyway.

I'm actually looking at making some meals from scratch, raw veg, meat but need to ideas on that one.
