TOTW is 105 euro for 2 bags on on zooplus.de

Price wise its one of the cheaper grain free foods. I can't think of any grain free food in the 15kg bag size. So that might mean a rice based food but the feeding guidelines would be higher and you would gain nothing by switching.

Champion grain free is 49 for a bag

I have tried champion but was very rich for him , I dont mind taking him off grain free feed once the food is still a good quality feed.

Yeah I know that and alot of folks on here like it.

Its 12kg though - thought person was looking for a bigger bag?

simdan · 18-10-2015 11:15pm

My dog eats Orijen, I highly recommend it. He eats less, has an excellent coat, lots of energy and is going to the toilet less often. It's around 100e for a 13kg bag, lasts about a month, well worth it for him.

One of the better once if you go grain (rice) yes.

No they have a 15kg bag of grain/cereal free. Its the Duck and Potato or Salmon and Potato. Its not the 50% meat one. I use the duck one for Viktor.

We've always bought Burns Sensitive (pork and potato) and happy to stick with it for the most part, except it's gone up in price and is now nearly €70 for a 15kg bag. I see Gain Elite is a lot cheaper and recommended a lot at the start of the thread. Would it be worth switching?

I have not used it myself but like you have read the good reviews on here.

It has 30% chicken & Turkey which is pretty good as alot of foods in that price range are around the 20% mark.

Some people don't like grains but atm the food I use, between the different flavours, have a combination of rice/oats/barley.

Gain Elite, aswell as rice, has maize which some people also don't like but Burns have foods with maize?

I've just bought taste of the wild as it was going for 61 in pet mania.
Is it good? She's already had acana and champion grain free. Is taste of the wild as good?
Also, all the measurements are in lbs and cups. I've no problem converting lbs to kgs, but how many grams in a cup of nuts?

Every food is different. Best off to just weight a cup of food and you will get your answer. Not all cups will weigh out the same with all foods as some have more in the nut so would make them heavier or some lighter.

According to my Royal Canin chart 1 cup is equal to 93g.

Edit: Noticed Orijen has a cup at 120g. Also just read above post and I do just that. I use a plastic jug and weigh it but just got used to the mark on the jug now.

That's it though, 100g of acana might be nutritionally the same as 120g of taste of the wild or vice versa. Also cup sizes vary

Dubs1990 · 30-10-2015 11:45pm

changed my GSD pup onto the markus muhle angus junior , and I must say his poos are nice and solid , the food is very strong smelling so he goes mad for it ! overall I am very impressed with it so far , I got 16kgs for 50Euro off zooplus.

Cortina_MK_IV · 30-10-2015 11:53pm

I might give that a go next month. My GR used to inhale his Royal Canin especially after a run. Last few mornings he doesn't seem as bothered. I pay near 50 for 12KG of RC so that extra 4KG is better value.

1eg0a3xv7b82of · 03-11-2015 7:41am

i buy the chicken and rice and vegs. cook it all on a sat, and freeze for use. Dogs have never looked better or fitter.
I also buy liver if on offer.

Jentle Grenade · 03-11-2015 11:55am

Any recs for a grain free or at least a low grain food which gives a nice shiny coat?

My rescue pup is on Champion Grain Free which she eats fine (poor eater generally) but her black coat is very dull and lifeless IMO. Her blood work etc is fine as is her mood. She doesn't like Orijen kibble at all. I know it's a minor quibble but I wouldn't mind checking out some other foods if they excited her to eat them too and helped shine her coat up.

Try adding salmon oil to her existing food perhaps?

If not Taste of the Wild, Almo Nature, Purizon and Wolf of Wilderness would be a few of the common brands you could try.

I've been feeding my 5months pug/terrier cross Purina Beta puppy food since I got her because that's what she was being fed. I was looking up to see could I get it online when I came across loads of reviews of it. A lot of them seem to think it's a poor quality food with not a lot of protein and too much rice which can convert to sugars and cause the dog to be hyper. I wouldn't call my pup hyper,she's lively but it's more that I don't want to be feeding her something that wouldn't be the best for her. I don't have an unlimited budget but I'd appreciate any opinions.

Honestly it is really not a good quality feed; what's your budget (i.e. XX eur per bag size) and you'll get multiple recommendations.

At the minute I'm paying €9.50 for a 2.5 kg bag of the Purina. That's lasting about 2/3 wks. She's not a huge eater but she's in great health and her coat is very good and healthy. I don't know what people would consider to be a decent budget. Is that considered a cheap food? I think it's very reasonable price wise so I wouldn't mind going double that.

Cortina_MK_IV · 04-11-2015 8:41pm

That's about €3.80 per kg, I had been paying €5 per kg (12kg bag) for Royal Canin. I wanted to change my GR's food so today ordered Taste of the Wild. It's €61.99 for a 13.6kg bag that's €4.56 per kg. RC was okay but I wanted to give him a change and it gets good reviews online.

Well I'd look at Taste of the Wild (grain free) or something like Optimanova which are both relatively close in price. It would be a significant step up in quality.

Thought I'd posted a reply. I looked up both these. The TOTW one is pure protein and the other one has mostly protein and some rice. Would it be better to put her on the optimanova so that she has a bit of variety in her diet? I'm a first time owner so I'm learning as I'm going. I know my vet only sticks one particular type,don't know what it is. I won't be at the vet till next month.

Nody · 05-11-2015 9:24pm

Of the two ToTW would be the better choice (and there are multiple variations as well) but you are unlikely to find either at your vet; your best bet is a well stocked pet store (don't listen to the sales people in the store as they'll try to sell you in on what ever and very rarely knows anything about the brands) or Zooplus.ie (which is probably the most used pet store by boards users).

Thanks for the reply. Managed to get her some ToTW from a friend. No interest in it at all unfortunately.

Going to stick with her Grain Free and add in the salmon on occasion as a treat.

Just noticed this Carnilove on Equipet website. Never heard of it but it is listed as new. €60 for a 12kg bag.

It's on the high side (same price per kg as Orijen) but could be an alternative to potato based once; this is what I found googling in terms of content:

Salmon & Turkey adult wrote:

salmon meal (25%), turkey meal (20%), yellow peas (20%), chicken fat (preserved with tocopherols 10%), duck flour (5%), salmon protein (5%), chicken liver (3 %), apples (3%), salmon oil (2%), carrots (1%), linseed (1%), chick peas (1%)

Large Puppy is pretty much the same

salmon meal (25%), turkey meal (20%), yellow peas (18%), chicken fat (preserved with tocopherols, 9%), sal - mon deboned (6%), chicken protein hydrolyzed (5%), tapioca starch (5%), apples (3%), chicken liver (3%), salmon oil (2%), carrots (1%), flaxseed (1%), chickpeas (1%)

So not bad by any means but no clue on the peas and dogs react in general (i.e. are they common allergen etc.).

Hi there, 1st time poster so take it easy. I have a male 7.5 years old Cavalier. I have been feeding him Kasko complete with years. He's started to have some problems with constant itching of his face and maybe some digestive problems with his bum. Was thinking of changing his dry food for a start. Was thinking of moving him to Gain/Red Mills or Beta. Just wondering what people think.

Kasko is full of cereal fillers, so could well be the problem with his itching. Gain and Red Mills both do a large range of foods, the cheaper end of their ranges would also have a lot of cereal, so you'd need to go for their higher end foods.

Hmm, I'm not sure, that's a high ash content. My dogs love orijen, their varieties have the best ingredients. The have loads of energy all of the time and have excellent coats, skin and most importantly poos. An 80% meat, 20% fruit and veg food with no grain.

The dogs can't get enough of it. Not cheap, but worth it for my two old english sheepdog babies!

DBB · 05-12-2015 10:29pm

There's not that much more ash in Eden than there is in Orijen though (9.5% vs 8%)... I think it usually comes in at somewhere between 8 to 10%, no?

I only noticed it because it was the only 5 out of 5 when I had applied filters!

£1.02 per day with the details I had entered compared to £1.11 for the Acana Adult Large Breed and £1.09 for the Markus Mühle NaturNah which I was looking at.

I say "looking at", but doubt a will actually go that expensive, lol.

Much more research to do, me thinks.

I thought it was about 2-4% in orijen dog food and up to 8% in cat food.

I can't recommend it enough though. My new pup has transformed in a week..

Dubs1990 · 10-02-2016 4:51pm

hi guys,

correct me if im talking out of my **** , is it threw that my 7 month old german shepherd should start getting lower protein so he does not grow to quick ? hes 30kg at the moment , im looking at the champion sensitive salmon and potato which only gives 20% protein is this too low ??

Knine · 10-02-2016 4:57pm

High protein foods can make the large breeds grow very fast. What I normally do is put all my puppies on adult food once they are about 4/5 mths old. This works well. I do this with both the large & small breeds that I have.

Cortina_MK_IV · 08-06-2016 4:19pm

I started my Golden Retriever on this a few weeks ago. There seems to be little about it by way of reviews but I'm impressed by it so far. He had been on Royal Canin since I got him and didn't take kindly to a change to Orijen and Taste of the Wild before I changed him to Royal Canin adult at 15 months.

He used to really wolf down his food but seemed to struggle with the the Royal Canin adult. It's nice to see him back to looking like he is enjoying his food again.

I paid €41.99 for 12kg but they now offer 3kg free.

P.S. Cleaning up is easier too. No more runny poop (RC) but good dark solid stools.

highbury1913 · 12-06-2016 2:05am

I took my dog to the vet a few months ago and the vet recommended Pro Pac. My smooth hair fox terrier is 18 months old and I have tried him on a variety of dry foods over that time, (Red Mills Leader, Gain, IAMS, etc) looking for one he likes, top quality and best value for money.

The Pro Pac tops it all for me and on the vets recommendation I have him on the Chicken and Brown Rice formula. The guideline feed for a dog of 5kg-10kg is 70g-115g. My dog is roughly 8.5kg so I feed him around the 115g mark and in a 12kg bag for 53 euros, it's brilliant value. The vet said it will bring on his coat a lot and myself and others have noticed a huge difference as a result. The dog loves it and in the past, he hasn't been the best eater of dry food. The only thing about this product as far as I know, is that only veterinaries around the country sell it. You can see a list of them for yourself on their website.

PRO PAC® Ultimates™ Chicken Meal and Brown Rice Formula is made without corn, wheat or soy providing the ultimate in canine nutrition. This formula uses a single protein source from premium quality chicken meal, which provides essential amino acids to help maintain strong muscle and a healthy, shiny coat. This antioxidant formula is fortified with Vitamin A and Vitamin C along with nutrient-rich, vegetables and fruits from peas, apples, blueberries, carrots, spinach and cranberries. Fibers from beets, blueberries and cranberries help overall digestion.

PRO PAC® Ultimates™ Chicken Meal and Brown Rice Formula is nutritionally balanced and fortified with proper levels of Omega-6 and Omega-3 fatty acids to help support a healthy skin and hair coat. L-Carnitine helps burn fat and maintain lean muscle mass to support a healthy, active lifestyle. PRO PAC® Ultimates™ is fortified with chelated minerals to allow for higher absorption helping digestion, immune function and healthy skin and hair coat. PRO PAC® Ultimates™ Chicken Meal and Brown Rice Formula is 100% guaranteed for taste and nutrition.

That might be a prescription food though, so, whilst it is expensive, it may not be as bad as it seems, if it is helping to keep a medical condition under control. Although there are some non prescription foods on sale in Irish pet shops for around €90 for 15kg

Are they any better than the likes of taste of the wild/Orijen and similar?

Best dry dog food available in Ireland?
