I have just placed an order so can expect it to be here tomorrow then.

Since giving my lot the F4D samples they haven't been very keen on the RC so will mix the 2 together till it is finished to get it used up as there is still about 7kg left which lasts my lot ages.

Could be..

I have just checked my order.. ordered yesterday at 3.15pm
e-mail from fish4dogs at 9.26 this morning thanking me for my order and letting me know it has been despatched
courier delivered at 4.50pm today :-)

I did state 4.30 in an earlier post.. but it arrived just before I left to go to vets, so would be nearer 4.50pm...

My F4D small kibble and mousse arrived at 4pm, split a pouch of the latter between 5 mixed with their RC and it went down a storm.

The kibble must weigh heavier than RC as the bag is smaller but weight correct as I put it on the bathroom  scales,need to weigh and mark a new cup as I don't want to be over feeding them.

So far so good

Just back this morning from SKC, went to the Fish4dogs stand to order my 4 bags for £100 - surprised to hear they've stopped offering it at that "special show price", it's now the same price as ordering on line £30 per bag!! The reason - people in the breeders club complained that it was cheaper at shows!!!!.  Not happy!!  Haven't done the maths yet but it must be about the same price as Royal Canin's breeders club prices.

It is still a good price though, normal price is £55 for puppy... I got mine for £32 and no postage costs..  and it is going down well, and output is excellent :-)    I prefer it to RC (so far) :-)
- By Henri3402 [gb] Date 23.05.11 11:12 UTC
It works out at £2 per kg for Fish4dogs/£2.23 per kg RC.  Totally agree that output is excellent, mine love it, although Boxers still have RC, at 14 and 10 I don't want to change them.  I'm just miffed that "people in the breeders club complained" and now there's no show offer.  All I can say to that is that they should go to shows!!  I think F4d need "show prices" as an incentive and will be sending them an e mail once I get the caravan, etc unpacked.
- By Rhodach [gb] Date 23.05.11 14:32 UTC
I thought the show bags were only 12Kgs each where as the breeders version in the non fancy wrapping is 15kg.

With RC you have to order at least 2 bags to get free delivery, that is too much for my small breed and despite keeping it in an airtight container it was getting stale towards the second half of the second bag.

My lot are loving the F4D, no problems with stools and really enthusiastic eating it.

My lot (2 adults) are both also loving Fish4Dogs and we are going to raise our litter later this year on it.

No, the ones that I used to order at a Ch. show at "show prices" were exactly the same 15kg bags (white plastic bag, def. non fancy wrapping) as you get when ordered from the website, breeders club.  The first time I ordered it at a Ch show I asked if it was the same food in the white non fancy bags as the blue "fancy" ones.  Yes was the reply, exactly the same food, same weight etc.  My lot love it too.

No - it is quite some difference.  Well, for my lot anyway.  Two RC mini junior - over 12 months ago, at breeders discount - I was charged over £83.

Small bite puppy Fish4Dogs at breeders prices is £30.  So more than £10 per bag difference.
- By reddogs [gb] Date 25.05.11 10:57 UTC
Glad someone else says that the 'output is excellent' these must be the cleanest puppies ever! I am comparing to my last litter and either I am vastly underfeeding (which I don' think since they always leave some) or the absorption of this food is fantastic!

Then again ask me in another couple of weeks but I am very impressed so far

I fed my bitch on RC for her litter last year and put pups on RC also...the voucher booklets were really not very good compared to the Eukanuba puppy packs that I previously used. I also got the distinct inpression that the price point of RC food was too high for most new owners.
This time I have been in touch with Beta as I thought to wean the puppies on to a mid price food that new owners would be more likely to stick with. The puppy packs arrived today and they are fab... a three kilo bag of puppy food, a measuring cup and a puppy guide all in a cloth duffle bag! Plus 6kg of food for me to wean the puppies on to before they go to new homes.
I know it's not about the freebies but I think it certainly gives added value when you present the new owner with something they can take with them rather than having to hunt out the particular food and fill in lots of forms!
