Food!!
Afternoon all. I know a bloke who has a dog groomers and he gets his own range of food made. Could you have a look at the nutritional values etc of the puppy food in this link and let me know what you think. Cheers.

Re: Food!!
Had a look, it looks ok, I'm wandering what percentage of meat is in comparison to grains?
Logan has been on a different diet lately to cut down the amounts of grains in his diet.

Re: Food!!
It looks ok but seen better, second third and forth ingredient is:
Rice, Maize, Oats
Ideally top 2 or 3 ingredients should really be protein source.
Also the main ingredient is Poultry Meal which although nothing wrong with that, its not the best for the main ingredient really.

Re: Food!!
A couple of dodgy ingredients there for me:
Fructooligosaccharides - used as an alternative sweetener
Sugar Beet Pulp - again used as a sweetener
Apart from that I have seen worse foods around

It's not bad, but not the best.
I'd be interested to see that as well. If the meat content is less than 25% I wouldn't bother with it.

Re: Food!!
I have mis-understood the pricing then lol! That is quite expensive imo. Albeit, I understand that profit margins are harder to find for smaller businesses.
I feed James Wellbeloved and it is £13 for 2 2kg bags. So much the same price. I find that the JWB is one of the better foods I've ever used though.

Re: Food!!
Quite a while if I'm honest Rebecca. 5 or 6 weeks, maybe more...
I always have a lot of fresh veg from work which Logan loves, I add potatoes/broccoli to every meal as it fills him up with very few calories. I also have small bags of mince in my freezer and I make him 2/3 meats balls with it. He gets basically a handful and a half of JWB dry food. Two meatballs from the mince, & two tablespoons of mashed broccoli which is cooked in the meat stock. I then mix it up with some of the water I boiled the meat in and he laps it up!

Re: Food!!
A lot of our members feed raw, but because it isn't a good idea to mix raw and dry food because of the different digestion rates, I boil mine.
I roll them into meatballs because it's easier to gather them up after they cook just lol, just slightely smaller than a golfball. I put them into piping hot water for probably 4-5 minutes, maybe slightely less. Then I take them out and spilt them in half on a bit of tin foil and let them cool for a few minutes. I find that the tin foil is full of grease after but the meat it self is just right.
