    My dog is very fussy and wont eat most dog food, i used to get him bento kronen which i found very expensive, i was given some blue grass and he ate it immediately, i found that most people who's dogs wont eat most foods will eat this.

    Im using the blue grass since christmas and i cant fault it. I tried a few different red mills but found the dogs to be a small bit loose after it. No complaints that way with the blue grass and the bitch had plenty of energy to keep going towards the end of the season too.

    It is an excellent feed. I am working in an agri store and we don't stock it there. I have seen alot of different dog food pass through the door and compairing the info on the bags it is excellent value for money.
    I started stocking Bluegrass at home, as the bosses wouldn't and it is walking out (thank god).
    Anyone that is feeding it is very happy and I am getting loads of repeat business :).

    Still not really what i am looking for. Its all seems very vague. Here is an example of the information i am looking for.

    From skinners duck and rice
    Whole rice (40%), duck meat meal (20%), naked
    oats, peas, whole linseed, sunflower oil, beet pulp,
    vitamins and minerals.
    Typical analysis

    Protein22%Oil11%Fibre3.5%Ash5%Vit A10,000 iu/kgVit D31,500 iu/kgVit E280 iu/kg(as alpha-tocopherol)Copper12 mg/kg(as copper sulphate

    It makes a huge difference what is in a dogs food. While price is important a heathly balanced dog is more important and doesn't always have to cost a huge amount more.

    Hi. Bluegrass do a better dog food called Dog Delight Nuggets, which has a similar spec to the Skinners food you listed. go to the Bluegrass website & it gives you the nutritional analysis for it.
