Before you look at the range below perhaps a few facts about complete dog foods;

1. What's in it.
Manufacturers are obliged to list ingredients in decreasing order of the quantity contained in the food. This means that the first ingredient in the list is the largest component and so on. By the time you get past the first 4 or 5 ingredients you've probably got 80-90% of the food covered.

2. Feed Guidelines.
Manufacturers must put these on the bag. Some manufacturers take advantage of the rules used to fix these guidelines in order to make their foods SEEM less expensive to use. This has been proven in the USA where one manufacturer has shown a competitor's guidelines to be insufficient to feed the size of dog in question. However, at the moment, it is all we have to make the calculations.

3. Digestability.
Quite simply this means how much of what your dog eats is actually used by the dog and therefore how much is wasted through his or her system. Good quality foods are higher in digestable ingredients such as meat and rice, than cheaper foods because they contain cheaper ingredients such as wheat; wheat is less digestable than rice; wheat is cheaper than rice; rice is cheaper than meat. The best foods are specific in their contents and will start with, for example, 'Chicken Meal, Whole Grain Rice' etc as compared to the cheaper foods 'Cereal, Meat and Animal Derivatives'. More specific and better quality ingredients will produce a better, but more expensive, food.

4. Ingredients
The more specific an ingredient then, generally, the better quality the ingredient; for example 'Meat & Animal Derivatives' means any part of any animal, whilst 'Poultry Meat Meal' or 'Lamb Meal' means a meal made from that particular meat. (To be called 'Chicken & Rice' a food only needs a minimum of 4% chicken and 4% rice), The ingredient called 'Chicken' will often be from any part of a chicken, including beaks, heads and feet, whereas 'Chicken Meat Meal' is only meat. This applies to all foods, including tins/pouches etc. where the main ingredient at around 80% is 'moisture', that is water. If you pay 50p for a tin of food, 40p is for the water.

4. Cost of Feeding.
The more digestable the food then the less is required to feed your dog. For example, most mid priced foods (say £15-£25 per 15kg bag) will be 60-65% digestable, but the more expensive, super-premium foods are 90% or better. So, if you do a quick calculation:- a 15 kg bag of food at £25 that is 60% digestable will equate to a 15kg bag of food that is 90% digestable costing over £37.
But don't forget you also get less poop!! Putting 250gms of 60% digestable food in the hungry end will give you 100gms out the other end, but at 90% you will only need to feed an equivalent 180gms so you would only get 18gms. out of waggy end, and it will be less smelly!

6. Low/High Protein.
You are very often told 'don't feed a high protein food'. In order to calculate what is high protein or low protein you need to compare digestability (there's that word again). A food that is 65% digestable may only be 20% protein whereas a super-premium food can be, say, 25%. (The higher protein is generally because of a higher meat as opposed to cereal content, this is also why it is more digestable). If you feed 250gms of food that is 20% protein this gives your dog 50gms of protein, for the same dog you will only need to feed 180gms of a 90% digestable food and that means only 45gms of protein! So. a 'higher protein' food actually gives LESS protein to your dog; and don't forget that a dog that is not digesting food easily will probably be very windy, not pleasant if he's in your lounge, but handy if you need to divert the blame.

7. Additives.
Check the ingredients list, we have all heard of 'e numbers', we all know they and sugar can cause hyperactivity in children. Well they can have the same effect on dogs. Simply put, if you have a bonkers dog, check the food. There are lots of reasonably priced foods without the sugars and e numbers. Should you have a dog of a breed known to be exitable (Collie, Boxer, Springer etc) you would be well advised to use a 'clean' or hyperallergenic food, THEY DO NOT HAVE TO COST HUGE AMOUNTS OF MONEY (see item 5). More good quality foods are coming on to the market at lower prices than before.

8. Working Dog Foods.
Foods are frequently described as Working Dog, Sporting Dog, Active or Greyhound Foods, this is often more to do with the product not attracting VAT than to the food itself. If a food costing £15 attracted VAT at 17.5% then the cost would increase to £17.63, a big difference.

9. Choice.
We are happy to help you choose a food from the vast selection available but, at the end of the day it's your dog and your choice.
