The food looks alright but pricey, £44.99 for a 12.5 kg Bag.How long is that gunna last you? ;D I know for £45-£50 a month I can feed 1 Adult and 2 pups. To be honest enless your gunna keep you dogs on it for a while 3-4 months atleast i wouldn't bother.If your not its not worth the bother with cleaning up the shites for a couple of days and judging by the size of one of your dogs,bythe time they get used to it the bag will be done LOL I would go Raw m8 honestly its the best thing.We tried it and havent looked back. you will notice the difference very quickly.Give this company a try. www.landywoods.co.ukATB |

I can buy a 20kg bag of dog food for £6.00. It is made from stale bread which has been returned and it then mixed with 4% chicken (chicken guts). Would I feed it to my dog – No chance!!!!! I do feed the new Applaws dry and it is great. I use to feed Orijen but this stuff is even better and it is British (see below). It is 75% meat and you do not need to feed as much as ordinary food. The difference it has made in my dogs coat is amazing. Before I bought my first bag from Pets at Home I got a free sample and you can get one as well by phoning their free phone number 0800 083 0599 Applaws Natural Complete Dog Food 75% Chicken Ingredients Dry Chicken Meat Dry Potato Poultry Oil Fresh Chicken Poultry Gravy Salmon Oil Beet Pulp Dry Whole Eggs Cellulose Plant Fibre Brewers Yeast Cranberry Extract Yucca Extract Citrus Extract Seaweed Extract Chicory Extract Sun-Curied Alfalfa Extract Citrus Extract Rosemary oil Extract Seaweed Extract Chicory Extract Sun-Cured Alfalfa Extract Thyme Extract Carrots Pepermint Extract Rosehip Extract Paprika Extract Turmeric Extract Carob Extract Fennel Extract Dandelion Extract Oregano Extract Nutrient Level - Moisture 8.000% Crude Prot 37.000% Oil 20.000% Crude Fibre 3.50% Ash 9.500% Starch 713.3 % Sugars 0.688% ME (Atwater)3750kcal/kg ME DM 387kcal/100g Calcium 3.5 % Phosphorus 1.8% Potassium0.842 % Sodium 0.549 % Chloride 0.688 % Magnesium 0.08 % Tot.M+C 1.173 % Arginine2.414 % Valine 1.936 % Histidine1.289 % Isoleucine1.593% Lysine 2.245% Leucine 2.758 % Methionine0.689% Phenyl+Tyr2.647% Tryptophan0.348% Threonine 1.579% Taurine 0.117 % Linoleic 3.810% Linolenic 0.315% Arachidon 0.120% DHA+EPA 0.355 % vit A 12000iu/kg vit E 600iu/kg vit D3 1200iu/kg vit K 2.000mg/kg vit B1 6.000mg/kg vit B2 4.000mg/kg vit B6 3.000mg/kg vit B12 0.050mg/kg vit C 20.000mg/kg niacin 80.000mg/kg pantothen 12.000mg/kg folacin 1.500mg/kg biotin 0.180mg/kg choline 2800.000mg/kg Iron 281.100mg/kg* Copper 12.000 mg/kg* Iodine 1.920 mg/kg Selenium 0.325 mg/kg* Zinc 249.488mg/kg* Manganese 60.988mg/kg* *Chelated/protected minerals Natural antioxidant supplied as tocopherol rich extracts of natural origin (vitamin E)  |

id say £45 for 12.5 kg is over priced you can get the same sort for £20 for 15kg also 37% protien i.m.o is rediculously high to feed your dog all the time unless your working them hard, there simply is no need to feed that much protien to a dog who wont use it. You,ll be paying to have him pee it out. only my opinion.
heres a basic guideline of what dogs actually need.
Species and Growth Stage Recommended Protein % Recommended Fat %
Puppy 28% 17%
Adult Dog 18% 9-15%
Performance Dog 25% 20%
Racing Sled Dog 35% 50%
Lactating Dog 28% 17%
again just my opinion i use a lower protien food for abbey in winter when im not working with her.
