Dry Dog Food Debate

I know there have already been a few topics on dry dog food. But after doing some research about which ones are the best I have found (so far) 3 excellent dry foods available in the UK. So I thought I'd share.

1. Orijen
2. Solid Gold
3. Eagle Pack

I am currently feeding Orijen and my dogs love it. Has anybody tried the other 2 foods. If so what was your opinion.

Hope this helps those of you who are always finding it hard to find the best for your dogs (apart from the BARF diet).

All the foods have their own webpages for more info and have been highly reviewed on dogfoodanalysis.com & all 3 can be purchased from zooplus.co.uk. (great site have been using for nearly a year).

Re: Dry Dog Food Debate

perhaps you can elaborate on why you feel they are good complete foods? It might help people understand.

Re: Dry Dog Food Debate

Orijen is the only one with a high enough meat content in my opinion so I would say that's the best, you can't beat BARF though.

Re: Dry Dog Food Debate

Personally, it may be contentious to say it, but I think its completely un-natural to give dried food to pet. But yes, its very convenient for the owners.

And if you look at what stuff is contained therein its not happy reading...dogs are natural foragers so the high meat content that they need is a myth. In nature they would eat virtually anything. I prepare a 25% meat 75% carbohydrate/vegetables/fruit mix that I make a kilo at a time.

Hows that work then? Dogs are carnivores, no arguements about them being omnivores, just look at their digestive system. No doubt they can survive on other sources of food but they thrive on meat. It's a myth that dogs are omnivores.

Totally agree that it's completly un-natural to feed dry food, feeding BARF can be just as convenient.
