v-max Posted December 28, 2007 Report Share Posted December 28, 2007 Dog food industry is worth millions if not billions & most of the makers invest big money in dogfood nutrtion experts to put together the best.Pups require diffrent food for the first year of life to help with growth etc thus high protein.Working dogs require the same but you also need high fat to help palitability or they need lots of water.Protein & fat should be some of the highest % in the ingreedients.I feed wonderdog as advertised in shootingtimes at times & dogs teeth can be bad due to there ginetic make up but bones are good to help clean.There is the barf diet but i now nothing on it realy.

dazbrit Posted December 28, 2007 Report Share Posted December 28, 2007 I have 2 springers and i feed them Dr. Johns silver in spring and summer and gold during the winter and shooting season. The gold has a higher fat and protien quantity especially for the winter months when they are out working more. Most people i know with working dogs use Dr. johns and it's cheap at about 8 quid a bag. Don't get fooled into buying expensive foods (beta, eukanuba etc. ) they all basically use the same ingredients, all you are really paying for is the name.

Sussexboy Posted December 29, 2007 Report Share Posted December 29, 2007 Which dog food..............its worse than the .22 v .177 argument!! My dogs have a food called Meaty Green Working Dog Mix from the local farm supplies shop. It is cheap as chips but does the job. I also give them the odd tin of pilchards, plus the lab eats anything that sits still for more than a nanosecond. I lost my springer at the age of 14 this past summer, she was still sprightly until struck down by a mystery anaemia causing condition. The lab is coming up for 2 and has a glossy coat, more oil in it than Saudi, beautiful teeth and gums and more energy than me!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
