Which ingredients list

Of the two of these ingredients lists which would you choose to feed your dog?

sorry not much help with the diets , I just feed the recommended foods from others advice , someone with a bit more nutrition knowledge will be along soon when they all get out of bed

Thanks Dave I am lost too one is a supermarket brand and the other a premium which is about 3x as much just trying to decide if it is better or no different

Generally speaking Supermarket brands are rubbish , full of E numbers that you wouldnt want to give . I feed a brand called Wainwrights in the UK is the home brand of a big chain of Pet stores (Pets at Home) and is acknowledeged as a really good mid range food

Just to give you an idea on contents , you also want to know %'s , just because its in there doesn't mean a lot until you know how much of it

This is Wainrights Turkey and Rice

Made from high quality ingredients, including a minimum of 26% Turkey and 40% brown rice; Wainwright's Adult Complete Dog Food is infused with:

Essential Dietary Fibre - to maintain a healthy digestive system;
Highly Digestible Carbohydrates - brown rice is gentle on your dog's stomach and full of goodness;
Natural Protein - to help support and maintain muscle growth and development;
Omega 3 and 6 Fatty Acids - for a healthy, shiny coat;
Beta Carotene - a source of Vitamin A, benefiting your dog's eyes and skin;
Natural Trace Elements - derived from seaweed.


Ingredient(s):

Turkey Meat Meal (min. 26%), Rice (min. 40%), Whole Grain Barley (min. 10%), Potato Protein, Refined Poultry Oil, Whole Linseed (min. 4%), Sugar Beet Pulp (min. 4%), Low Allergen Poultry Digest as Gravy, Alfalfa, Monosodium Phosphate (min. 1%), Natural Seawood (min. 0.5%), Sodium Chloride, Potassium Chloride, Methionine, Marigold Extract, Yucca Extract, Rosemary Extract.

I probably wouldn't go for either of them because neither give you the percentage of meat content & both have poor quality meat as the first ingredient (meat meal).

Have you looked at food such as Wainwrights?

I am in Australia I don't think we have wainwrights Caryll.

Yes, of course - I forgot that.

Maybe one of our other Australian members can point you to a food they use.

If I had to choose out of them two, I'd choose the first one.
