Best quality dry dog food for working breed puppy?

[Jax]

Might be better saying what to avoid. Nature diet! Found plastic in about 5 different batches. Emailed them and they didn’t seem to care. Offered a discount on next purchase! Needless to say, told them where to go and encouraged them to recall all product until they could find the source of the contamination

 

[Pedro]

.......Aye right.

True though.

Fish for Dogs came highly recommended by my gun dog breeder. Often doing decent discounts if you sign up on their mailing list.

I have personally been a big fan of Skinners, reasonable value and good quality. Always had good success with fussy dogs and dogs with sensitive stomachs.
I also rate the Eukanuba 30/20 for conditioning and recovery.

Have a look at the AllAboutDogFood site and see what looks good for puppies.

The site compares the percentage of ingredients. Most cheaper dry dog food has a large percentage of grain, rice or ash which give cheap bulk without nutrition.

When Pero stopped doing the organic food we were using, I opted for the first food to achieve AllAboutDogFood's 5* rating...Akela Wholeprey grain free 80% Chicken Fish Turkey and Egg 20% Fruit Veg vitamins and minerals...

I currently feed the little Springer once a day about 90g of the Akela and 250g of the Natural Instinct raw minced Chicken Turkey or Lamb and a pheasant leg or thigh. She often gets a deer or sheep bone to gnaw at weekends.

Most fancy dog foods are now all owned by Purina.
I use BETA puppy and SKINNERS or CHUDLEYS puppy.

I also use Skinners

I think Purina supports PETA

Mine loved raw mackerel.

I used to feed Skinners(Protein 23?) add lib.
Pascoes seemed to give them a lot of energy, smelly Poo though!
Febo Rough and Ready was expensive but you could see what was in it and it smelt really cod liver oily.

I use skinners, they sponsor gundog trials so I'll support them in return.

Skinners Puppy is good.

+1 for Millies Wolfheart

Worth a look at allaboutdogfood.co.uk.

It provides a decent break down of what's in different foods. It's amazing how many are just made up with fillers.

Would never feed kibble.Raw is much better

 

[splash]

Kibble sticks to teeth encourages plac and does not work anal gland’s it’s to soft.
Raw is good for teeth and produces less and harder stool

Another thread resurrected.

But anyway, some good suggestions. I suspect it's not as simple as there's one that's best for all dogs. Despite being carrion eaters that'll eat anything in any state of decay and often (as young dogs sometimes) poo, it's surprising how one particular food can upset a dog and the next one it'll take to like a duck to water.
