It's not that we hate Bakers that would be slander to the company , it's more bout the fact that it is absolute sh1te and I wouldn't give it to my worst enemy

You may find good kibble cheaper online, I use www.chemistdirect.co.uk a wide choice, delivered and cheaper. Also remember feeding a better quality feed you will use less.

You could also try raw, inexpensive and some great minds here that will help you Xx

So is chudley any good lol?

Yes, since I've been on this forum (only a few months) I have learned how everyone hates Bakers!

I must admit that I had always fed it to my Dobermanns (first the puppy variety, then adult) and they loved it; ate it dry every day without having to mix anything into it and thrived into old age. So I always thought it was a pretty good dog food.

However, my Staff thought otherwise! I had to mix various "yummies" into it every day to get him to eat it at all. On going onto this forum I was advised that Bakers wasn't as great as I thought it was, and on reading the ingredients list (something that had never crossed my mind to do before, trusting that dog food manufacturers had our dogs' best nutrition at heart) I did see that the main ingredient is cereal.

Your puppy obviously needs puppy food for a few months yet, but I have no experience of Chudleys - I'm sure someone will come along here to advise.

Wishing you good luck in finding the ideal food for Rocky.

These are the ingredients for the adult Chudley's one:

Maize, Salmon (30%), Prairie meal, Barley, Chicken fat, Rice, Unmolassed beet pulp, Peas, Alfalfa, Yeast, Salmon oil (source of omega 3 fatty acids), Salt, Potassium chloride, Milk thistle, Mannan oligosaccharides (1,000mg/kg), Green lipped mussel (500mg/kg), Glucosamine (500mg/kg), Yucca, Blackcurrant, Kale, Spinach, Beetroot, Rosemary, Rosehip & Pomegranate

Maize is listed first, so not the greatest quality dog food out there, but seems decent, and certainly better than Bakers. Course, someone with more knowledge of dog nutrition can check the list and see if it's actually not good.
