Default Dog food...???

what dry food do you feed you're dog/s......i use James Welloved kibbles which he seems to like,but then again he's a fucking dog and hasn't grasped the art of speach yet.......we change the "flavour" every bag, just wondered if anyone had a better choice........cheers (this is GD)

A bag lasts our 35kg Ridgeback 1 meal a day for around 5-6 weeks.

Mine has 1 tin of Butchers dog meat (either jelly, gravy or loaf which is like a tripey meat mix) and three handfuls of Morrisons My Dog Premium mix dry food all stirred up together. It lasts him about a minute to a minute and a half.

^^ good for cleaning their teeth.

My Cairns have Bakers dry food or Wainwrights/James Wellbeloved/Nature Diet/Nature's Menu food or a tin of tuna.
The first one was a rescue at 9weeks old so it was trial and error. He didnt like the Pedigree puppy food, and wouldnt eat the same thing too often, hence the variety!

The pup had James Wellbeloved dry puppy/junior food up until 12months as that was what the breeder started her on, and shes bloody grown well!!

mine gets bakers complete, and a tin of pedigree chum plonked ontop. i used to mix it but it used to attract loads of fucking flies as he doesn't eat it all on int go.

he eats the chum in one go off the top with some biscuits, then eats the rest of the biscuits during the day when i'm at work. he seems to like them cos his bowl is always empty

My seventeen year old cross (Mother Patterdale/Staff Father Greyhound/Collie) has been fed on Iams and has lovely shiny fur and decent breath. She is still running round like a good un. She loves carrots, so much so she was pulling them out herself in the garden! Wet food sticks to the teeth.

James Wellbeloved and Wainwrights.

Buy smaller bags at 2 for 3 at Pets at home. Get variety then. Cheap enough for what it is and what you get.

I use biofood dry dog food, with roddi frozen meat supplement. Dunno if those brands are available in UK, lots of normal priced alternatives available anyways. Try to avoid dogfood containing too much grain and corn, which will be difficult seeing this is the main ingredient in most dog foods seeing it is a very cheap ingredient. Why avoid? Dogs cant digest that shit. Can also be cause of skin, ear(yeast)infections. Also stay well clear of Ethoxiquine, or other anti-oxidants as that shit is seriously toxic, but is still in lots of dog foods. Need to keep my doggy in good shape. Rescue dog, 9 year old, 57kg, not a grey hair in sight. Grumpy git though.

I have been feeding my boxer salters maintenance for 3 years as this was recommended by our vet at Ł45 for 15kg, she has always been really good on it but won't eat it unless mixed with something like gravy or tom sauce, I changed to wagg after a friend said to try it and she loves it and she is deffinatly no worse off health or coat wise so I'm sticking with the wagg.

Also Pork.

Chicken raw is ok (also with bones)

Chicken cooked with bones is bad.

Yip the bones splinter. Ud be suprised how much human foods are bad or very bad for dogs, that said, some dog are pretty much robust to most things. Makes sense when u think in some countries dogs survive on scraps. I find the bigger the dog, the more careful you have to be. My dog is a pretty expensive hobby, then again i chose for it.
My dog reminds me of Duke.
Marline, the dogs got his head in the aquarium again....Old brit com line there.

Porks fine for dogs as long as its not 100% only food.

Theres been studies claming loss of hair,coat condition,heart trouble due to nutritional elements the pork lacks but when feeding other items these balance them out.

i give my dogue de bordeux chappie, with a tin of butchers tripe mix and some ham or chicken mixed in. 12st and healthy
the vet said chappie and wagg are some of the best dry food on the market as they've got no additives.
and if u wanna bulk your dog up put them on satin balls

A mix of dry biscuits and meat is a good option.

Wrong in some ways sorry.

Pork has to be frozen for atleast 3 weeks as it causes worms for dogs.
