wraivi Posted July 13, 2014 Report Share Posted July 13, 2014 I was given a bag and a half of James Well beloved to try, and it has been great, but just got back from a run into town, where I saw the price of it. Certainly ticks the right boxes, but expensive. Anybody else use it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

figgy Posted July 22, 2014 Report Share Posted July 22, 2014 Mine get a mix of dog meat middle of the price range kibble and the leftovers from our meals, it's the best way of getting a balance and not wasting food with the odd raw egg on top. I don't give mine pizza or other rubbish leftovers only decent stuff with meat and veg. Wife will buy him meat bits from butcher and the odd bone to chew on.

Tim Kelly Posted July 22, 2014 Report Share Posted July 22, 2014 I feed mine on Royal Canin. Costs a bloody fortune but seems to produce the smallest volume of poo, which is an advantage when you have to pick it up. The joys of living in London!

Footu Posted July 22, 2014 Report Share Posted July 22, 2014 I use csj for 4 years, very good coat and energy levels. £12 delivered but only get one st a time as if left for a couple of months the fat can go rank In it and the dog throws up.

norfolk dumpling Posted August 9, 2014 Report Share Posted August 9, 2014 Skinners - one of our dogs has gluten allergy so we use either duck and rice or salmon and rice. All 5 dogs have same food and do well with the two old girls needing a little warm water to soften pellets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickP Posted August 9, 2014 Report Share Posted August 9, 2014 (edited) Is there a good place to buy Skinners from? Online or local to Leeds 25, BASC discounts etc Edited August 9, 2014 by NickP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
figgy Posted August 10, 2014 Report Share Posted August 10, 2014 I've bought a bag of Kirklands dog food from Costco. Reading the label the first ingredient is chicken then rice then chicken meal and so on. Thought it looks good so tried it, the dogs love it.

If you join the breeders club it comes down to £34 which is cheap for a top class food Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wj939 Posted August 13, 2014 Report Share Posted August 13, 2014 Csj hi lost!very good nutritionally, animal proteins rather than proteins from grains etc. It's affordable and well balanced Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bazooka Posted August 13, 2014 Report Share Posted August 13, 2014 I' If you join the breeders club it comes down to £34 which is cheap for a top class food I'm not a breeder and hate the idea of having to be in a club to get something cheaper. If they have big enough profit margins to be able to offer it cheaper to others that probably use less food than me then that's their choice. You only get 12 KG's as well. One fifth less than most other manufacturers and equate that into pound notes and you will see that the very top foods on the market...or supposed top foods, are cheaper.

Bazooka Posted August 14, 2014 Report Share Posted August 14, 2014 Their working dog food comes in 15kg sacks And at over 50 quid a whack ! I'm sure it's good but when you compare the price to say, CSJ Fit n Fast at £20 ? http://www.csjk9.com/productcart/pc/viewPrd.asp?idproduct=74 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Millomite Posted August 14, 2014 Report Share Posted August 14, 2014 Its the maize and barley that puts me off it on the whole. It may be a decent food, I've not tried that particular CSJ food, however Ive fed the CP30, CP21, complete tripe etc and everytime I ordered a bag it differed from the last one in terms of it's consistency. The one I'm feeding now is consistent, has a low number of quality ingredients and all my dogs do well on. If that changes I'll look elsewhere. Remember I pay £32, which makes it affordable, if I had to pay £50 then I probably wouldn't feed it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
