Mine were fed Beta puppy by there Breeders,we weaned them over to Burns Mini Bites when we brought them home,Still on Burns but the Adult Version.

They have done well on it,very little in the way of tummy upsets.

You already know mine Garry....but...
Arden Grange at £36 and Royal Canin which I get at £26 ish
Every food suits a dog better than another.....its all down to what the dog looks good on and prefers.....
I have had Purina Large Breed and thats a good one too - my adult DDB male just got bored of it LOL Like he does with every food - so I swap between a few to keep him eating :)

Burns is an excellent complete food, very pure, but some dogs struggle to keep weight on with it, which is ideal for my working dogs, but can be a problem with dogs required to carry a bit more weight.

we use purina pro plan puppy for weaning & mum has this while feeding
we have tried them all !!
this one is our preferred choice
dr johns dry complete is another food that suits our dogs, when a special diet is not required
but we are considering changing to a natural diet meat bone & vegetable?
as this is some thing we have not tried ,does any body else feed this ??

Well I must have the weirdest dog...I feed Meg on beta, but she gets really fed up after about three months and will only eat tinned pedigree chum. I have to swap about once every three months. :confused: It's the only way I can keep her eating or she jut turns her nose up...refuses...gives me a disgusted look and walks of in a huff!! I know then it's time for a change!
Banjo has Hills Science from the vet...he seems to enjoy it...but will nibble at Meg's if she leaves any :cool: <sigh>

A really cheap way of feeding is on chicken carcusses, although you do need to find a supplier first, we get a box for £5, and there is loads of meat on them, this feeds my six dogs for 3 days (3 BC's, 2 GSD'S and a GSD X BC). The other days in the week they have Burns complete food. I know lots of people say you shouldn't mix food in this way. All my dogs are fit and healthy and live to a good age, remaining fit up to the end, so I am happy with it. They also never have stomach upsets.

My personal choice is Arden Grange. Natural Premium Dog Food & Cat Food From Arden Grange

British made with a higher meat content than most and no artificial colours etc.

The lab version suits many dogs with iffy digestion nd keeps their coats in top nick.

Also it is very well priced on the breeder/professional user scheme where it is VAT Free and in plain bags.

You can get two or more bags delivered FOC from their distributers.
