My ma breeds and shows, probably the best kennel of the breed in the country, 20 dogs atm, she feeds a VAT free greyhound maintenance complete food. Costs about £7 a bag. Dogs look really well on it and she wouldnt feed it if it didnt suit them.

My dog get Iams, he has a skin complain and when we adopted him he was on canned rubbish. As well as making him fart like a trooper I don't think it was helping him. He loves the Iams, but then he literally eats any food except lettuce, and because he's small it lasts ages. He has a lovely gloss coat, is well built, sparkly eyes and loads of energy so must be ok.

Wilsons and Wagg Worker - around £11 for a 15kg and 17kg bag respectively. Have used them both for around 20 years with good results and no 'wind'.

Burns, and loads of fresh (cooked) veg...

Our working cocker was on James Welbeloved and it seemed to help with a squitty bum issue she had when a puppy. £40 a bag is proper steep though and at the moment she's on a cheaper brand but may change back (not for squitty bum reasons).

What dog?
makes a big difference with activity levels etcSpringers should have very different food compared to mastiffs for example!

I'll get completely flamed for this, but our dog eats better than us I reckon with this stuff: http://www.lilyskitchen.co.uk/
This morning, she had Goose and Duck feast with Fruits, a small portion of boiled rice, and some kibble.

iams.
for a very sleek and slender 4yr old labby bitch.Posted 5 months ago # -
We've pretty much always used Berrimans for our Lurcher and Tumbler, never had a problem with it. Had a dally with Autarky for a while which was pretty good too, just difficult to get hold of.
Vet always comments on how well they look and how good their teeth are.

Both the dog & cat are fed science plan.
The dog will eat anything really but the cat won't!!
He was on pedigree chum when we adopted him, but he is noticeably more active and has a better coat with the science plan.
From what i've read James Wellbeloved is also good stuff.

the ex-GF used to give my spaniel james wellbeloved. now my housing outgoings have doubled i'm reluctant to spend that much. we're moving over to wagg VAT free at about 11 quid. seems happy enough.
compared the ingredients and couldn't tell the difference. want to look after my dog but i'd need a pretty convincing case to get me to send 4 times as much on her food.Posted 5 months ago # -
We use skinners, salmon variety. 5 year old GSD. Lovely shiny coat.

Royal Canin for the two Labs. Damned expensive but they've been on it since they were pups and anything else makes them fart like troopers but they do look well on it.

Morrisons own dry. Dog is an 11(ish) year old Pointer/cross. Bit of extra cod liver oil on it to help with his joints but he's fine on it and has been for a few years now.

My dads 2 great danes, they are fed a mix of good dry food and whole rabbits. One of the chickens escaped so that got eaten too. Really not amused by that but think it was a very quick death.

Nature Diet for 2 Bernese Mountain Dogs, we get it direct from them but it's also in Pets at Home.

Whatever is on offer in the supermarket!

Feed our ridgie blocks of prize choice raw meat we get from pets at home. Come frozen and various flavers: lamb, beef, chicken, rabbit. Add some mixer biscuits into it aswell. Two to three times a week we also give him half a side of lambs ribs ( sometimes more if he has a show coming up, depending on his condition ) Giving him the lamb bones reduces the amount of times he has to have his glands emptied because the bones help to push out the gunk.

Pointer with a delicate stomach - she has Skinners Ruff & Ready.
It's the only thing we've found that keeps the fart level off the geiger counter.(oh, of course if C_G reads this we also feed her raw fillet steak twice a week
)

James Wellbeloved for ours.
Feeding your dog cheap supermarket food is the equivalent of you eating McDonalds everyday - no offence to anyone who does.

Chudleys Original for Ted (four year old working Springer) and a 50/50 mix of Chudleys and wet feed for Ralph (two year old working Cocker).

This is what our vet said to us about Bakers and the likes... when we got ours as a puppy she'd been on Bakers, and the vet told us to get her off it asap. The salt levels and additives were way too high.
We moved onto science plan, which she didn't really take too. Then moved onto the lily's kitchen stuff.
For breakfast she normally gets 1 weetabix with a bit of water mashed into it. Then a small handful of kibble, and a treat just before I leave for work.
Then for dinner, she has 1/3rd can of Lily's, handful of boiled rice, and a half handful of kibble. Then maybe a couple of small biscuits in the evening.
Being a border terrier she doesn't eat a huge amount. I think if we had a bigger dog, there'd be no way I could afford to feed her the Lily's food.

Depends which supermarket I end up in really. Our lurcher / terrier X gets half a tin of meat (Pedigree, Bakers, Winalot) with a large scoop of dried stuff (whatever's half decent and on offer). He also gets a packet of liver or lungs each week, which is cut into strips, fried and doled out over three or four days.
Several biscuits on his walkies too, and a dentastick every night, which he still goes completely mental for

Ours does too, it's her favourite treat - although I try to limit how often she has them. Maybe they're like crack for dogs.
