Pero GSD food
Pero have brought out a new food for GSDs, it looks quite good. Its grain free and is fish based. Caryll could you have a look at the ingredients please. It looks ok for any dog who is grain sensitive

I can't actually find a breakdown of the ingredients! It certainly isn't on their website - or at least I couldn't see it!

Looks ok, but isn't that different from some of the others they do!
That's a lot of tapioca as well! Is that good for dogs? I don't know!

Re: Pero GSD food
Hi I also thought tapioca was indeed a cereal but I've been reading up about it and it is in fact a root.

Re: Pero GSD food
I must admit I didn't know that!
I would tend to stear clear of breed specific dog food, though. It's very gimmicky.

That link was pretty insightful, apparently tapioca is supposed to be good for pallatabillity as well.

Re: Pero GSD food
Thanks Caryll. I know they are a bit gimmicky but the price and quality of food is good

Re: Pero GSD food
Food ingredients look pretty good but to be fair the large percentage of tapioca isn't great. It is plant based and a starch therfore it will give them lots of energy and not much nutrition. You'd be better off feeding JWB meat&veg or Orijen or even better a raw diet!

Re: Pero GSD food
I've just had a look at James Wellbeloved but I was just concerned with the amount of E's in the ingredients that swayed me away but I guess its each to their own
