My dogs get Arden Grange - it gets delivered straight to my dog within 2 days of ordering online (was on Burns for a while but Bailey kept getting runny poos on it)
In the evening I always mix in either some naturediet, naturesmenu or a tin of sardines and then at least once a week they get some raw green tripe
All the fosters i take in are fed JWB - only because it is easy to find in shops when they go to their new homes.
I am very much into making sure their food has no preservatives, colourings or artificial flavourings. Whenever I am shopping and see people picking up the likes of Bakers I just cant help giving them a mini lecture on how bad that food is - my advice is not always appreciated lol
Just what is the reasoning behind giving dogs multicoloured food, bits of green, red and orange coloured kibble???  |

I am so like you, when people tell me they feed their dog Baker and Pedigree chum I can't help it, I have to tell them all about the animals they test it on and the ppresrvatives and other 'unnatural' stuff that's in it....I he even converted my mum!  ____________ Natalie and Co xxx

I'm the same which is one of the reasons I chose Arden Grange. It's funny how people wont eat preservatives themselves but forget all of this when they buy pet food!

Toby has Burns - he was on Beta when we had him but due to the number of people over on LF who rave about Burns I decided to give it a go and haven't looked back.  |

Sam and George on Autarky - they love it
Pheebs on NutroChoice - she loves this too Although she was raw fed for 7 months, she had really bad sickness for a fortnight and I blamed the raw as every time I fed her something else she was totally fine. Thinking about it now, she came into season at 8 months so it may have been the transition to womanhood Once the bag of Nutro is finished I may try her back on raw - she loved it and her coat was brilliant on it - her poos were beautifully formed  ____________ Lucy the human, Pheebs the Lab, Sam & George the cats x x x x

I feed Ruby Burns - she is a fussy eater (yes yes I have a non foodie lab they DO exist ) She goes of it occaisionally so i supplement it with naturediet now and again.
Funnily enough I was considering changing her a few weeks ago so approached all the 'good' companies for samples - arden grange looked FAB but sent her loopy seriously I know it may have been a coicidence but the day after she was manic hyper bitey puppy so I think I will be stearing VERY clear of that. I tried her on Nutro too but she spat it out I have skinners to try and a few others - I am waiting for a FRomm sample too Nat As Ruby hasnt been enamoured with any of the samples yet I think I am going to stick with Burns - we are getting a dalmatian puppy in the summer and the breeder recommends Burns so it will be so much easier with both on the same food.
Daisy is a fussy madam too - i vary her food she wont touch dry at all so it has to be off the shelf tinned jobs she wont eat anything in gravy either MUSt be jelly - fussy cat  ____________ Vicky, Daisy and Ruby xx

| Mine is fed on James Wellbeloved, which she likes and it seems to suit her. She had slight intolerance problem with some other brands, and we found this one and it works (reluctant to try anything else when we have found one that works). |

| my staffi was fed on berrimans puppy food which is very good with a 40% chicken content, but i wanted to change her onto adult food which should be easy enough ah but then i became obsessed with dog food contents you only have to look on the internet and ask which is the best dry dog food and there are so many different views,, anyway after a long talk with pets at home manager we decided to try WAINWRIGHTS turkey and rice i have been swapping her over for 6 days and she loves it and getting no problems. i look at her diet more carefully than my husbands and lads!!!!! they can make there own decission on what they want to eat but my dear tess cant, i also give her evening primrose capsule every day and recently bought some oil to put into her food to reduce moulting, she only has treats which are wheat and gluten free and has a tin of tuna once a week and chicken once a week, dare i ask do you think she is loved oh i do so love her , |

I feed The Prey Model Diet too, like Spud! Its the best decision I have made for my dog!
She mainly gets ox heart, lamb, beef and some poultry, mainly chicken thighs and turkey legs.
Someone said 'imagine feeding green, red and orange kibble' and I'm afraid I'd have to say, 'Imagine feeding cooked kibble with various grains to a dog, who is still bascially a wolf' But its each to their own.
Have to say, that although some food brands claim to be organic, it still doesn't guarantee its free from preservatives and fertillisers as even our own organic foods are allowed to contain some unnatural nasties!  |
