Hi and welcome.
But I'm afraid to say you broke the rules No puppy picture!!!!

Sixstar one of our members has composed a great index and guide on dry food

Hi Fleur, thanks for the web link - apologies for no photo, I will ow put that right!
Cheers

I look forward to seeing pictures soon
Food is a minefield - personally I decided on budget and then went for the best I could afford that suited my dogs.
General rule of thumb higher meat less cereals etc is good.
I have found with mine that too rich a food doesn't agree with them and feed skinners duck or salmon, it's rated Amber on the dry food thread but it suits my budget and the dogs tummies

 

It's a minefield.....there are tons of good brands out there. I'm on a budget so both my puppies and adult dogs get fed on Autarky dried food (as well as wet food), I've fed it for years and year now, and they do really well on it. Prices seem to go up and down but I pay around £20 for a 15kg bag, less for the puppy version, from wherever is cheapest - usually Berriewoods or GJW Titmuss online.

 

As @labradrk said, it is a minefield. Wainwrights from Pets At Home is a good food and not too expensive. I plan on feeding my puppy on Wainwrights.

 

Just from personal experience I would recommend Arden Grange. Can be bought in shops like pets at home etc and online. Its something my puppy did amazingly well on. However like everyone has said there are so many foods. It boggles my mind completely!!!!!

 

Dear all, thank you very much for your advice and tips - We have plumped for 'Evolution' puppy feed and are slowly introducing it into Mabli's diet.
Kind Regards
Alan
