Dr. Johns is one of the worst foods on the market it really is full of rubbish, you should be thanking the lady for not getting it in any more.Che: has Dr Johns Silver,
Buster: The lady who i get his dog food from has stopped doing it so now am stuck, i'm using up the last of it now and have to find another food for him. He was allergic to Chicken, but have been mixing in the Dr Johns Silver with the lOHP Robbies and he seems to like it! no signs of allergy.

Dr Johns is recommended for Shar Peis by Paul Saxton at the Shar Pei Rescue of Great Britain, it has the right amount of everything.Dr. Johns is one of the worst foods on the market it really is full of rubbish, you should be thanking the lady for not getting it in any more.
Has anyone tried the new food from Orijen ( Orijen Red ) I got it for my two a few weeks ago and they love it.

I know what you mean, but animal derivatives, though not terrifically high quality protein are regulated by law. If you think about it, in the wild an animal (certainly my cat!) will generally eat 99% of what they kill, and that includes some of what we might think of as the less desirable cuts of meat!derivatives are all the crap that's left over after the carcass has been stripped of meat, it's beaks, claws, skin, hooves, anything that's left of the animal gets chucked in pet food.

That they will but they will also eat the meat, something that a lot of the poorer dog foods don't have in them. I've not had a cat for years but when they did catch something they tended to leave the head and the limbs and only eat the body .I know what you mean, but animal derivatives, though not terrifically high quality protein are regulated by law.

It might be awful but....Honestly it really is one of the worst foods out there.
The first ingredient is cereals, that will be the cheapest one on the market at the time they are buying, so the cereal content will change regularly.

eec permitted antioxidants could be BHA and BHT both of which some experts believe can cause cancers.
I used to feed my last sheltie girl Robbies and she did really well on it.

I'd imagine maize is hard to digest but why have Chappie tinned managed to claim it is one of the most easily digestible. I'm suspicious now of any commercial foods.in the puppy one: maize is top and fat is 4th on the list, it doesnt look so hot to me, the majority of the protein will be coming from the maize which is hard if not impossible to digest for dogs
Alot of the food on there is American though, and the prices alone to buy it are high and that's without P+P IF they deliver to the UK.It's probably been mentioned before but this site was very useful to me when I was deciding what pet food to feed my two

... a 21 stone lab. Holy cow!!!Also should I get the large breed for Milo? He weighs 21 stone at 4 months old and is a Labrador.
I've never heard of it.I feed my westies Organipets, does anyone else use this/or know about it?
Please dont. Vet's know nothing about feeding and nutrition, unless they have been on some course and done extra training, and even then there knowledge is a tad dubious. They will just push whatever one they make £££ out of.I think I may ask my vet which food is best for my boys.
A price range of £30-40 is not a stupid one - you get what you pay for...I've never heard of it.

If I can get this job then I should be able to buy them anything, just atm it's a bit tight.
Oh I've noticed that Milo's stools are abit squidy and a tad runny, not really runny just a little bit. I'm currently feeding him Beta Puppy, which he was fed on as he was growing up at his breeders house, he does sneak into Zeus' bowl *Bakers Adult* and the cat and kittens bowls, so maybe it's just that?
But if not what is a better brand then Beta, but not with a stupid price of £30-£40?
Yes Ive mentioned it before - I found it really useful too to understand how to read dog food labels; what to look out for, what to avoid, their detailed reviews are very helpful and make sense to me it complements a book on dog nutrition I got months ago!It's probably been mentioned before but this site was very useful to me when I was deciding what pet food to feed my two
