How to find a good food

[barnjess]

Ok I give up, I know what to look for in a food but cant find any good ones here in Cornwall! I dont want to have to order from the net, they were on james Wellbeloved but Its not making me happy! Barney has got a little overweight on it and the girls are a little skinny! I have looked into raw and have tryed feeding it foe 5 days and wowee its expensive! JWB has been costing me a small fortune as well its £36 a bag and I'm lucky it it lasts me a week and a half, help i dont know what to try next! i need to get a food today so that I have enough JWB left to do the change gradually, I dont want to have to chose a crappy food, but there is just no choice here

General rule of thumb, the more you pay for a food the better the quality.


England has different rules adn laws for what goes into dog food. Correct me if I am wring but all ingredients must be human grade right ?

Not as far as i know, not sure which ones are made here

Why not ask a vets opinion?

[barnjess]

I have found that vets are not that clued up on food

[AussiesCollies]

true, but they may know more than we do since you're in England and the laws and stuff are different. Why not ask someone that works at a pet store that actually knows what they are talkin about or ask a breeder over there. Someone has got to know something.

i am feeding a natural food at the mo which is very expensive i wouldnt mind paying it, it they were great on it, they arnt! I am going to pick up my son from school and then spend hours reading the bags LOL, i have asked around at a coupple of stores they either recomend the one I am feeding now or their own make, the other store I phoned said that they only have good food and tryed to get me to have bakers, my vet also recomends the one I am feeding
