We feed our mastiffs Vitalin it is the active working dog one - its is cheep and cheerful but is very very good quality food.If Butch isn't doing allot i will top his food up with this for the sake of cost as he eats double what the others do.

We have started on the Origin dry food and i cant sing its praises enough... it is more expensive than Eukanuba working dog, but the bag is bigger you get and extra 5 kg and you don't need as much as its better quality - so it doesn't work out any more expensive for our lot.

I think it worked out £1.30 per day to feed a 80lb dog like Butch on Origin.

I would still use Eukanuba working dog with no problems, i love that food also, we have to see the long term results with Origin but will take some beating the working dog.

I know another good food for India i think would be CSJ i know its very reasonable price and has good results.
