Fish mongers dog food

I saw this in Pets at Home a few weeks ago I was just wondering if anyone has tried it? I feed the dogs raw mince/fish etc as well as Purina Peta biscuits at the moment but I don't think they are very good as Woody gets runny poo sometimes and I doubt that its the meat causing it. I know how a lot of staffies have allergies. Anyhow this is the nutritional stuff for fishmongers

and this is the fish4dogs which is highly recommended on here it seems

To me they look pretty similar and I can't see anything bad in the ingredients, any thoughts?

They do look similar, but there are several additives in the fishmonger one that aren't in the fish4dogs one. Whilst I don't think any of them are harmful in any way, they're not really necessary, either. I just wonder why they're there?

How does it work out price for price, taking into account the recommended amounts to feed?

Fish 4 dogs finest salmon complete food is £49.99 for 12kg so thats the cheapest I think, and for a 20kg dog its 360g per day so that would be £4.10ish per kg and £1.50 per meal I think.
Fishmongers is 29.99 for a 10kg bag and for a 20kg dog thats apparently 268g per day so £2.90 per 1kg and £0.37 per meal, so I'm thinking that it would work out alot cheaper.
But there seems to be big difference between the recommended feeding amounts for the different foods so I'm not sure why that is.
I have also just noticed that the pets at home fishmongers dog treat fish braids and fish chunks look very similar to the Fish4Dogs sea jerky fish twists and fish squares so maybe its like a rebranded version?

Doesn't sound too bad. If you do get some, let us know how you get on with it.

Just in case anyone was thinking of trying it I bought a bag and they love it! Been on it for about a week and no more runny poos

Might be one to watch! Thanks for letting us know.

you can get fish4dog for £37 on amazon

Yeah but didn't they reduce the fish content or something recently? Fishmongers has 60% fish I think

What's the kibble size? I notice that Lola doesn't choke on the larger F4D size as she guzzles her food. I feed the Fishmonger braids and chunks - big hit with her ladyship!

Um it's quite small to be honest a bit smaller than a 5p coin. Another thing I have noticed is that my staff is doing less farts, or at least I can't smell em haha

Very interesting

Fishmongers food looks good - Lola can't tolerate chicken I want to stay with a good fish based food. Think I will give this a go as have P@H on my doorstep.

Bit of a x thread to fish4 dogs but have just spoken to my vet who had been fab ffrom day one and he suggested a llok at Wafcol salmon and potato. Thoughts guys?

Had a good look at Fishomonger in P @ H this weekend. Certainly judging by the packaging they intend to give F4D a run for their money (very much the same) and it states high fish content - 60% on one of them. I would have tried this in favour of wafcol but the kibble is really small in the finest range. I will keep buying the fish braids and cubes though as they are good value and Lola loves them.

In the 10kg bags the kibble is a lot bigger for some reason, I hadn't realised as I only got the large bag on Sunday as I was using the small bag as a tester to make sure they liked it. I haven't seen any of the braids though, I'll have to have a harder look.
