which is the best dry food for a puppy james wellbeloved or burns

I feed my three dogs James wellbeloved I actually changed over from hills I was advised to because  I have very active excitable dogs and the additives in hills may have been adding to thier hyperactivity.
One of my girls was a grazer but her eating habits have changed completely she finishes every meal immediately and we have notice a calmness in her.
So I am very happy with the change in diet and would recommend it .

I also feed one meal dry and the other soaked to make a gravy I think it may give them more taste.

Got to agree since I have changed to JWB my dogs coat has improved and they actually eat it more readily.  I am now feeding the most faddy beagle in the world on the puppy one and she loves it.

I use Burns, it's a great food, all 6 of my dogs have improved since being on it............plus I refuse to use JWB as they test on animals!

I have been using JWB for 4 years and wouldn't feed anything else.

lol @ sharonm.  JWB test dog food on animals!!!  I know you mean in the unethical sense but I've had a mental day, am really tired and read that as tested on animals i.e. fed to animals.  thanks for cheering me up even though its not meant to be funny.

In lots of cases, that's just what the companies do mean - that they feed the food to dogs and see if they like it and thrive!
:)

I've seen the pictures and it's definitely not funny and yes it is fed to animals and some of the results are not pleasant!

You're not the only one Ali, there was a letter in the Telegraph recently laughing at the very same thing :).
I'm not sure anyone knows what sort of testing JWB does, it may very well not be the sort that involves hammering metal into monkeys heads as that sort of testing has to pass an ethics commitee and be licensed (and of course is extremely expensive) but actually be some blood samples, skin scrapes, faecal samples that sort of thing unfortunately that is all you have to do to fall foul of the anti-testing web sites they don't seem to differentiate between ethical or otherwise, its no wonder that people feel they are subscribing to something horrible.  Personally I would not be happy feeding a food that had not been tested to ensure a dog dog would do well on it.

I agree with you Isabel 100% on this ! :)

They seem to give the impression that can't see the wood from the trees :)

I did use JWB untill pedigree bought them & found it a good food, but I now use burns & find that even better!
