tiger82 43 Posted August 24, 2014 Report Share Posted August 24, 2014 Does anybody use this or is it any good? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mouse 282 Posted August 24, 2014 Report Share Posted August 24, 2014 feed it to my 4 dogs mate and we also sell a lot of it where I work in a equestrian and farm supplies and country sports shop. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
fitchet 788 Posted August 24, 2014 Report Share Posted August 24, 2014 I use it as a spare or sometimes mix it with other feed it's ok stuff but I've allways fed it along with flesh and other dry food so haven't used it enough to say. I might stick my dogs on it for abit see how they get on. A fella around the corner uses it and rates it for his day dogs and he's out a lot. Atb Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Blackbriar 8,568 Posted August 24, 2014 Report Share Posted August 24, 2014 We've got 4 small terriers and a Mastiff X - they're currently on F&T Rice and Duck, but they LOVE the Ruff and Ready best. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
skycat 6,172 Posted August 24, 2014 Report Share Posted August 24, 2014 Feckin hate the stuff: mostly cereals. Tried it once, just a tiny amount mixed in with their food, and most got stinky diarrhoea. I noticed the kibble smells rancid as well: like gone off chip fat: just shows you what they must put in that food. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mushroom 12,393 Posted August 24, 2014 Report Share Posted August 24, 2014 Used to feed this all the time with raw and my dogs were always in tip top condition Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I got a voucher for a free 15kg bag of f&t and gave it away to someone on this site rather than get the stuff and feed it to the dog. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
willum 89 Posted August 24, 2014 Report Share Posted August 24, 2014 the mill is only half hour or so drive from near where I live a chap I know feeds 4 labs 2 spaniel on it out 3/5 times a week they do well on it through out the shoot season if they start to loose a little condition he tops up with chicken carcasses. As for the ruff and ready sticky goopy shte mate fed his ruselle on it for a bit dog went like a barrel. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
thefensarefarbutistillgo 2,480 Posted August 24, 2014 Report Share Posted August 24, 2014 Load of rubbish Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ggib 370 Posted August 25, 2014 Report Share Posted August 25, 2014 aint gona get no better than raw meat/organs mixed, for thats what nature intended dogs to eat, but meals ca be easier for people on a tighter budget Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dewclaw69 484 Posted August 25, 2014 Report Share Posted August 25, 2014 my dogs have been fed the field and trial maintenence and working 23 over the years and seemed to do well apart from my current dog who didn't seem to be thriving on it so i'm now feeding raw alongside complete but looking to going wholly over to raw when i get my supplies sorted.

HPR 1,160 Posted August 25, 2014 Report Share Posted August 25, 2014 I feed the superior skinners dogs always look goos and full of energy in winter mix raw meat with it Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Pigs 73 Posted August 25, 2014 Report Share Posted August 25, 2014 started wi it last yr & seems to be keeping weight on the spaniels ok & they've got plenty of energy dogging in. I buy from henry cole in Cirencester & he'll do 20 bags at trade price so works out £10 a bag.23% working for spaniels & 18% maintenance for terriers but I like to feed horse flesh or beef from my local knackerman wi it but the flesh is soaked in a bucket of cod liver oil for 12hrs to stop the scouring. Nice clean solid stools & easy to pick up. Lol don't have to wait for a frost anymore Quote Link to post Share on other sites
