Alot of people that I know are switching to the Barf diet or a mix of raw and dry food. I prefer a good quality dry food for convenience with cod liver oil and the occasional dessicated liver tablet. My dog seems to do well on this and as long as her coat is good, she has plenty of energy, her stomach functions well, she enjoys her food and there are no health issues then that will do for my purposes.

I always try to buy the best quality feed I can and have found that expensive is not always best. It has taken some experimentation and speaking to experienced people to get their views but I have found a good food in Australian Formula and will be sticking with that unless I find a reason not to.

there are a few who feed raw at the moment and im sure they will answer in due time, im toying with it, i now have spoken to the barf supplier in ipswitch who will deliver here for £5 if i buy enough for a month.

but at present i feed kibble with cod liver oil evening primrose oil and desicated liver every other day.

I feed raw with a good amount of fats, and a hand full of hills nature diet. I feel its important to learn and reseach what the contents of dried feeds are. Theres alot of fillers/bulking agents in most feeds which are nutritionally useless. Dogs cannot consume cerials and just pass it out. Mine have a superior coat quality since feeding raw and energy levels are high. They utilise the energys from the fats. Its no more expensive just needs Freezing. Daniels book is eagerly awaited

we feed the dogs nature diet untill they are one - we will put bert on raw food though as hehas alergys - the rest are on Burns acitve and poppy is on beta greyhound - shes seems to do great on it so we are reluctant to change it.
