PoCk0 40 Posted February 16, 2011 Report Share Posted February 16, 2011 I know that its expensive, but James Wellbeloved is a fantastic food that is brilliant for their teeth, bones, skin, and coat. Been on it for a few years and couldn't ask for a better dry food. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

vanquo 2 Posted February 16, 2011 Report Share Posted February 16, 2011 Got mine on raw these days but Orijen is good if you can get it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
scalesntails 118 Posted February 16, 2011 Report Share Posted February 16, 2011 The problem is that decent dry food is expensive. I get chicken wings £1 per kilo and mince for £1 per kilo. I could be wrong but feeding dry would probably cost more. Also I am soft and unless it was bacon I wouldn't want to to eat exactly the same for every meal. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I buy all the offcuts etc from mine that he couldn't sell so it helps us both. Also buy 3 chickens for £10 in the supermarket and use breasts and legs for yourself and feed the dog the rest of the carcass. Its cheaper than buying the chicken separately for yourself anyway so its free dog food. Tescos also do 1kg of chicken wings for like £1.70ish. It just takes a bit of working out at the beginning but its easy enough to get bits here and there. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I could be wrong but it may be packaged under other names because I used to get it as a 'Working Dog' feed years ago and a friend who works in a pet shop had a look at it and said he could get the same stuff but cheaper. When it came it was Sneyds; different bag, same stuff! Never bothered mixing anything in unless one dog was getting more graft then I just added a bit of mince and/or cheap pasta (remember when everyone was price matching/slashing 'Nice Price' and it was pennies per bag from ASDA ). As mine has got older, I've started mixing with 30%-50% BETA Senior but crickey it's expensive when you are used to Wonderdog! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

matt1 5 Posted February 16, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 16, 2011 Cheers for all advice, gonna have a trawl round local butchers in morning and ask about and see if I can sort somethin out to get her on raw. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BIG ZOOK 5 Posted February 16, 2011 Report Share Posted February 16, 2011 None of my dogs have been keen on the raw meat (barf) diet .Several have even refused to eat raw meat at all.I source dead hens from the local battery farm and pick carcasses up from the nacker man for next to nowt .Cook the meat outside and feed everything to the dogsalong with standard mixer food all as healthy as fook.

STUNTMAN 552 Posted February 16, 2011 Report Share Posted February 16, 2011 I dont know about dry cereal in the UK, but in the states it all SUCKS. Plain and simple if your into performance dogs. Meat right off the carcus with a little dry mixed in is tops IMO. Now this post is in the R.D. section. Just asked what those racing kennels feed when $$$$$$ is on the line. It should be no different for us. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
