Search not working frown

Currently on Salters maintenance which was great when we were in Suffolk where it was widely available but now live in Devon where it's mail order only

So looking for suggestions of a good quality alternative

TIA

Would you consider a raw diet?

I use Arden Grange, not sure what the availability is like in Devon though.

I used to feed my two GSP's on Arden grange but it got too expensive at 28 quid a bag and I used to get breeder bags. I now use an equivalent from the local agriculterial suppliers at half the cost. The dogs seem fine on it as well and have sturdy poops and etc.

BARF diets are a load of faf compared to dried, although each to there own.

I've fed mine on Omega for years, and they've seemed to do ok on it. the good thing is that as it's all the same (look a bit like brown polos) they can't eat the meaty bits and spit out the veg!!

You have a lab that picks bit out?

Blimey.


Roo likes Burns food. Seems well on it.

Skinner's is high quality and good value - the labs down at the kennels thrive on it and their coats are superb.

Got a feeling I should answer yes to that - but no!

Skinners (and Field & Trial variant) are well regarded on the Lab forums. Vetuk are usually reasonable for 15kg bags with free P&P
