Thread: Dog Food

Use Royal Canin medium dog and nothing else. My dog does high mileage each day and does well on it. Talking about price increase, gone from approx. $150 to $220 for 15 kg bag.

Blackhawk for us.
Mainly because its the biggest bag size I could find.
Dog gets nothing else apart from odd venison trimmings.
Usually about $180 a bag from Animates (with "frequent feeder" discount).
When we had 3 pointers 1 bag lasted about 3-4 weeks max.
Now with just the one milage is better but would rather old age had not stolen the other 2

Some good stuff here cheers. Might have try something different for next bag.

Thanks for all the feedback everyone- lots of good info and real life experience- cheers

Pays to add some of the new stuff a bit at a time to stop them getting the shits. 20% new stuff per day is the rule of thumb, so after 5 days your at 100% of the new food. It's not so much of an issue with dogs on a varied diet but if they are only eating one thing it can be a bit sloppy for a bit

Second that, while my two arent working dogs they are 70kg boys that get a good run daily. A bag of large buscuits and raw will last us a month, really good price too.

I gotta ask, what breed are they ?

I use Black hawk in my kennels to the tune of $50 000 plus a year.Upsets the least number of dogs.But it is getting pricey.
Use the mighty mix frozen concentrate for when we have a long stay dog that looses weight.
My own dogs also eat black hawk, plus food I make(what ever I shoot mixed with veges and rice).
They run hard everyday and have a shiny coat and a heart rate that gives the vet the shits.

Crikey we run 2 EP's and no way would a large bag last a month even with supplements ...venison etc.

PM your cell. Dont know how to post fotos.

I tried Blackhawk and Science Diet, but Purina Pro Plan Performance was the one I settled on. My dog's Coat looked noticeably shinier, she holds condition better and craps less! It's about 170 bucks for 20kg though (online repeat delivery). I also substitute with small amounts of raw venison trimmings

i fed science and purina, both gave my dog runny poo and farts that could kill
settle on coprice which i buy from the local stock food place. comes in many varieties from puppy thru working dog.
good value in 20+kilo bags, bought a plastic rubbish bin with a clip on lid to store it in
