Hi
can anyone tell me about this food?
i have a 5 month old bull mastiff pup and have been recommended this
food but then other people have told me its cheap?
She is not keen on dry food anyway and prefers webbox chubs or nature diet

I agree.It's a cheap and nasty food.

Your large breed pup needs an adequate,concentrated diet,which a food based on grains etc simply can not provide.What you feed your dog NOW will very much dictate how she does for the rest of her life.Get it wrong and it will have detrimental effects.

I dont mean to scare you,but good wholesome nutrition is so very important,especially in large growing pups.

>She is not keen on dry


Then i would steer well clear of grain based foods.Dogs are carnivor's and need meat based diets,grain based foods just dont hold much appeal for them,and i cant say i blame them!

We feed our large breed on Burns, puppy then adult.
Eukanuba is very good for the large breeds aswell, especially if they don't gain the weight as my boy, he was very lean.
Depends on the individual dog, even the same breed can differ.

I certainly wouldn't feed it to a 5 month old.  A few of mine had it as adults for a while, purely as a maintenance diet when they went off Arden Grange.  I think they were glad when I put them back on Arden Grange as we never had any problems again ;-)

It's very cheap.....I wouldn't use it again.
