Vets actually have very little knowlege of diet and a truthfull vet will tell you at vet college they merely touch on the subject, suprising maybe but true, yes they will know certain thing like i was adviced low salt/sodium for mine when he had a bad heart but could only say find a brand that do a heart range, they do honestly know very little.

Beta's not a good food either unfortunately, it has all the rubbish in it that Bakers and Pedigree have. A lot of people who have over weight dogs have had good results with Burns dog food, no one seems to know how it helps dogs loose weight but it does.

Ive fed burns for a few years now the benefits are in believable, keep them slim, which is an health benefit in itself i have never had over weight dogs,improves behaviour and helps training as dogs are more calm and focused i have actually got proof from one dog i had that it does have health benefits.

Re: Why is pedigree or bakers bad?

Ailsa my bridge baby was fed on Burns and she did really well on it, well she had Burns and for a long while she was on Robbies which is made by John Burns brother. Arran was on it as a pup but then I found Orijen and put him on that

Re: Why is pedigree or bakers bad?

We have just changed to Pero which is delivered free.. James Wellbeloved is quite widely available though and seems to be well thought of. But you have to find what your dog likes. Look around for trial packs if you want to try new brands so youre not stuck with a sackfull.

Well, I should say, ask to the Nutritionist. They really know what kind of food must be given to our dogs.

Re: Why is pedigree or bakers bad?

My samples came today from Burns, but they arent burns they are Robbies and Luaths. The Robbies is different, you add hot water and cool, its sort of a rice mixture not kibbles. I darent feed them yet though as we are still changing to the Pero and Hedley's poos havent returned to normal yet.
