ph5172 Posted March 1, 2008 Report Share Posted March 1, 2008 I dont have a dog but i have a quick question, just out of interest as i was in the local livestock wholesalers today and saw a vast aray of working dog food. Do you feed dry, wet or a mixture of dry and a filler like tripe or general dog food. Sorry for my apparent lack of knowledge but im just curious. Many thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cranfield Posted March 2, 2008 Report Share Posted March 2, 2008 I feed my dogs on the BARF diet ( raw meat, chicken carcases, bones tripe and blended raw veg) Lee (not that he is), I feed very little % tripe as it makes my hound "windy".

MC Posted March 2, 2008 Report Share Posted March 2, 2008 I feed Merlin with Dr John's Silver complete food. I got him some Bakers Gravy Bites as a bit of a change and he went like a kid on E no's. I'll be sticking to Dr John's, and it is £7.99 a bag VAT free. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

casts_by_fly Posted March 5, 2008 Report Share Posted March 5, 2008 wellbeloved duck and rice. We've tried other flavors and she prefers this one. Also tried chudley's but she wasn't craxy about working crunch and the original didn't have enough protien in it. She gets dry kibble most of the time but sometimes she will get some 'gravy' if I've made a roast or something else with sauce for dinner.

Country_est Posted March 5, 2008 Report Share Posted March 5, 2008 Working crunch during the season and just some normal all in one stuff when not shoting too much. Also mix it with a bit of tesco's dog food as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LB Was thinking of switching to CSJ in a couple of months when our's comes off Beta puppy - how do you find it for energy etc.? All four dogs on it and they are in excellent shape.

Sussexboy Posted March 6, 2008 Report Share Posted March 6, 2008 I feed my lab Meaty Green complete working dog food from the local farm suppliers. He tops it up with whatever poo he can find while we are out, and what ever food the kids drop. (They soon learn not to drop anything) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
