Hi all
I have 2 dogs, 7month old lab and 11 week old bullmastiff both are currently fed on eukanuba puppy for large breeds. I want to change their diet for 2 reasons, 1, euk is really expensive and 2, my lab never stops pooing. She must go about 6 times a day.

I have read lots of posts on here and i am still no closer to deciding. I did like the sound of burns untill i got to the posts about the dust, neither of my dogs will eat food that i have added water to so i wouldnt be able to add water to reduce the dust.

Thank you Debbie

Feed raw :D  They love it, its great for them, its inexpensive.....

I have 4 labs, and changed to Autarky around 4 months ago, all did well on it. I slowly changed over to raw for the older 2 labs, and the puppy are on Autarky for breakfast plus two meals of raw per day, pups are 5 months and in a couple of weeks will be on a completely raw diet. Its cheaper, they love it and are doing great on it, less poo and easier to clean up. Also the 2 black labs coats are shining a blue black.

I found the ingredients in Nutro natural to be better then Euk/Iams and my dogs love it and not much poo....The food may work for one dog doesn't mean it will work like that with yours...Just a matter of finding what works best for yours :)

and I use Arden Grange.

Hi all
Thanks for your replys, i am going to take a look at raw feeding first, if i cant get on with it then i think i will look at arden grange.
Does anyone know if they have a website?

Thanks Debbie

i dont want to sound thick but what do you actually give your dogs? In an average day?

Hi Katy.
They get fed their breasfast and dinner which is eukanuba, both are on 200g a day. They arn't allowed anything else.

Debbie

Will they not eat Naturediet?

Hi Tohme.
I haven't tryed it, infact i haven't even heard of it. We only have 2 pet stores near us and they only stock hills, euk, jwb and choice.

If nature diet is good and i can buy online i would be happy to try it. Do you know if they have a website?

Thanks Debbie

Not sure if they deliver but they do have lists of stockists; as it is vacuum packed it keeps for months if not opened and only contains meat, carrots, rice and bone.

regards

Thanks Tohme, i will take a look now.

We feed Burns and Naturdiet.  Tohme did make a good point on a previous thread about the dust.  it is not a huge amount and is probably because they dont use loads of binding ingredients.  Anyway my dogs love it and mixed with a bit of naturediet they dont notice the dust.
