I have 2 rough collie males 11 monts old, I am feeding arden grange although gradually changing to Gusto.
I feed 100g in the morning and 200g at night with half a puppy pouch, we usually add a few biscuits to each meal, we don't feed any other time of day.
Does this sound OK as the feeding guides seem to differ from each product.
We feed the same amount to both although one is bigger boned than the other and has slightly more flesh on rib cage, he also is less active.

The best advice when feeding anything, dog, person, horse etc is to feed by eye and hand according to weather, activity levels, sex etc etc etc.

The best stockmen in the past did just this........

May i ask why you would want to change from a half decent food such as AG to a food such as Gusto?

We only used arden grange as that's what they sell in the kennel where my daughter works and I did some research and it seemed good stuff and you can buy 15kg bags which last about one month.
The reason I tried Gusto was because a friend's irish setters love it and also many people on this site have raved about it, is there something not so good about it then, I don't want to feed rubbish just for the sake of cost?

If you click on search and key in Gusto you will see, indeed, that it does have many advocates :)  Don't worry about cheapness, the man who eats brisket, peas and apples is just as healthy as the man who eats sirloin, asparagus and mangoes and the chances are the first man enjoys his particular diet just as well too :)

Mmmm love brisket

is there something not so good about it then

Hi Ossie,

Have you not read the ingredient list yet?

I would agree with Hailey here.  Although Arden Grange would not be on my top list either, Gusto is most definitely not!

May I ask why you would not put AG on your list of favourites?

I would be interested too, as compared with most completes it stacks up pretty well ingredient wise having far more animal protein sources than nearly everything else out there.

Hi - since you asked (!) - this is why - here are the ingredients in the adult food:

"FRESH CHICKEN, chicken meal, rice flour, ground corn, beet pulp, chicken fat (preserved with mixed tocopherols), whole dried egg, brewers yeast, fish meal, linseed, fish oil (preserved with mixed tocopherols), lecithin, minerals and vitamins. Chondroitin, Glucosamine and MSM."

It contains ground corn, which many dogs find hard to digest.  Personally, I look for a food which has only rice as the grain.

It contains MSN.

It contains beet pulp, which I prefer to avoid.  Although some flavours of Burns or James Wellbeloved contain beet pulp, I can avoid them by feeding the other flavours.

>It contains MSN.

What's MSN?, or did you mean MSM, Methylsulfonylmethane?
