she'll eat anything so whats the best food that is not too expensive?
Binners started a recent thread on here with a low-cost suggestion.

Price of Autarky in Surrey is similar to price of houses/beer etc it seems. I guess I could get it cheaper, but then I'd have to live somewhere else.

To the OP
You do realise that you can't just change a dogs food & hope for a smooth transition don't you?
Apparently they have enzymes in their gut which are tailored to the food they're getting & changing over-night will cause problems.
you need to slowly introduce any new foodPosted 2 years ago # -
Above is right - chop and change and expect mucho runnyness.
Iams is one of the very few with protein as the major ingredient. I figure a dog would be eating more meat than cereals etc so stick with Iams. We sling a few carrots in - they help keep his teeth really clean.

They deliver and she is in tip top shape. She also gets table scraps as a Sunday treat and a cuppa of an evening.

Had the same issue, as the op, loads of turds when the dog, Brian, below was on Bakers however moved him onto Skinners, which has improved the situation, his coat looks better and has a more relaxed nature to him, not hyper any more. Also he now eats less due to the food being better quality and therefore less turds. When on bakers he wasn't interested in food an now he eats his meals in one sitting.

PS I think working dog food is VAT free..

+1 Arden Grange. Alfie and Charley eat it well, poo ok and they have excellent shiny coats, Alfie went qiute scurfy when we changed to Autarky for a bit, so went back to AG. Not worth going cheap and Arden is about 30-35 quid a 15kg bag. So not excessive.
A number of the large brands do animal testing. If this is important to you, apprently Arden don't.

My boxer Ralph eats Royal Canin sensitivity control 60 quid for a 14kg bag. Very expensive but its transformed his guts.
Very little waste, Nice solid stools.
The stuff he used to be on would run right thru him.

Chocolate is one of the most hazardous foods to dogs. "The compounds in chocolate that cause toxicosis are caffeine and theobromine, which belong to a group of chemicals called methylxanthines," according to ASPCA Virtual Pet Behaviorist website. Dark baker's chocolate has higher levels of methylxanthines than white chocolate. Therefore, the darker the chocolate is, the more it is toxic.
