Daany Posted March 3, 2014 Report Share Posted March 3, 2014 I used to feed mine on chudleys working crunch, and I they didn't have a a days work in them, I swap to chapel farm and they can all go a a full day out picking up now, seemed there wasn't enuff in chudleys, but that's just what worked for me your lab might be completey different Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest rimotu66 Posted March 3, 2014 Report Share Posted March 3, 2014 (edited) Ive had my 4 year old Lab on Chudleys classic since he came off puppy food and he is fine with it, stools nice and firm, he has one cup in the morning and one cup mixed with 1/3rd tin of meat. Its only 18 protein but hes still bouncing off the walls. Apologies, mines on chudley original not classic.

FalconFN Posted March 3, 2014 Report Share Posted March 3, 2014 Mine did not get on with chudleys at all, dull coat, weight loss and the runs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Outlander Posted March 4, 2014 Report Share Posted March 4, 2014 Ive had my spaniel on classic/raw every day since she was a puppy. Works hard in the season all day and no probs with soft stools. In my opinion its good stuff at a good price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WGD Posted March 5, 2014 Report Share Posted March 5, 2014 It didn't do for mine, Skinners Duck & Rice was better. Arden Grange better still. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

al4x Posted March 8, 2014 Report Share Posted March 8, 2014 Dr john's... Utter **** Yet to find any complete dog food under £45 that can compete with raw food and pasta,brown bread etc. In your opinion, I'd love to know how you can categorically state that as personally I've had a few dogs on dry food and I'm yet to struggle during a shoot day or have a dog that looked in poor condition or have one with a less than decent life expectancy. Mine are on skinners at the moment but the main difference is price over dr johns or chudleys and the only reason they are on it is due to having a 8 month old pup so for ease it and its mum are on the same.

My 4 year old Lab is 100% fine on complete, great coat, great teeth, nice quality stools and far to much energy even on 18% , be nice to know what you base your results on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fenboy Posted March 8, 2014 Report Share Posted March 8, 2014 The trouble with RAW feeders is they get delusional and think its the only way Dogs can get all they need from a complete food FACT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
washerboy Posted March 8, 2014 Report Share Posted March 8, 2014 Difference is your working a gundog, see how many greyhound kennels run there dogs on Dr johns, wagg etc. I couldn't keep a lurcher in the condition I need on that ****. Believe me yrs ago I tried Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rtaylor Posted March 8, 2014 Report Share Posted March 8, 2014 I feed both my labs Chudleys, I think it's the original (blue label, £14.99). I have fed them others from the Chudleys range and didn't see any beneficial difference so went back to the cheeper one. One is 8 and in great condition, the other is 1 1/2 and full of energy. I did change their food to some cheep stuff after the season. The young one wouldn't keep any weight on, I had to feed her twice as much as the Chudleys. Their breath smelled awful and the stools weren't great. Changed straight back to Chudleys and they are back to normal. I only feed complete food and they are absolutely fine, both will beat all day long during the season and do all day 20 mile walks in the summer. Each to their own though.

Guest rimotu66 Posted March 9, 2014 Report Share Posted March 9, 2014 I think you are missing the point Washerboy, the OP asked for our thoughts on Chudley's to give his Lab, most replies are positive including mine but you came on slating it because it did not suit your long dogs or racing Greyhounds, you cant really compere the two can you.
