Dry dog food

[Northern_George]

It’s probably been done before but what dry food is everyone using for the working dogs?
I’m currently using alpha

I've always used Skinners (with a dollop of minced beef organs), from puppy through to adult. Good quality feed that is reasonably priced and made not too far away. More importantly, my lot do well on it, never had any stomach issues and always empty bowls.

Gibertson page Gilpa, Dr Johns titanium chicken and rice does our pack well and doesn’t break the bank

Purina working - goes down well with the fussy Vizslas and the Teckel. VAT-free and very convenient

Good food. I use Dr John Silver as a maintenance diet for about twenty years now.

Arden Grange, I've been using it for 10 years now, it's the only dry food that put weight onto my Cocker.

Dr John Silver, supplemented with deer offal and venison scraps.
When I was contract shepherding, and my dogs were working really hard, I fed Dr John Gold.

Dont have dogs but friend feeds his gold as well, It seems to be pretty well enjoyed.

I’m using alpha at the mo and the spaniels during the day seem to be loosing the energy/ can’t be arsed mood which is unlike spaniels.

Every dog is different I suppose hopefully you’ll find something that suits your dogs needs.

I tried the alpha high performance and it seemed okay but I try to rotate my dogs so they don’t get over worked etc. they just went loopy on that so currently on the junior and active from alpha and this happens

Perhaps too much protein I use working maintenance with beef 19% protein in saying that my dogs getting on a bit now.

Skinners muesli mix. I don’t like the look of brown kibble. Looks really appetising and the dogs do well on it.

 

[Northern_George]

I got some that sporting maintenance on order to try it see how they do. I do feed some raw with it as well.
I tried skinners in the past it didn’t agree with my dogs.

All dogs are different, some do really well on the really expensive £60+ per 25kg feeds and some have upset stomachs from it whilst doing well on bags costing about £25 per 25kg.

I have found it’s a bit of a case or try a few out and monitor the results.

If you’ve more than one dog then you gotta try and find feed that suits them all (or feed seperately for each dog).

 

[Northern_George]

Yeah I have tried several so far alpha seems the best but it just the above issue I’m having at the moment.
