Right just want peeps opinion's on this dry dog food.
http://www.harringtonsdogfood.co.uk/...gredients.aspx

just seen an advert on itv and seems really good food and affordable, so just want opinions on nutrition etc. if it's good enough im going to put my dog on it hopefully.

The first ingredient listed is maize, which I don't think is great. It also contains rice and barley. The 'meat meal' is 14%. So as a food, it does not have much meat in it at all...

Personally I would not feed this, but I'm no expert, it's just my opinion.

In addition, virtually all dry dog foods are extruded, which destroys a lot of the nutrients.

Composition: Maize, Lamb Meat Meal (min 14%), Barley, Rice (min 14%), Meat Meal, Beet Pulp, Poultry Fat, Digest, Vitamins & Minerals, Linseed, Kelp (0.2%), Yeast (0.1%), Citrus Extract (0.04%) & Yucca Extract (0.01%).

>80 grain
Three main grains plus linseed
Maize, barley, rice, linseed

Maize is also the single largest ingredient and not something I would choose to feed my dogs.

So this is not something I would pick to feed my dogs if I fed commercial.

damn thought it was to good to be true, im after a price around £20 per 15 kg sack. has my dog is currently on this http://www.petmeds.co.uk/p-34-burges...LAID=448553940 and not sure on the ingredients.

Wheat, Chicken Meal (14%), Wheat Feed, Poultry Fat, Peas, Salt, Calcium Carbonate, Monocalcium Phosphate, Preservative Potassium Sorbate, Coloured with Sunset Yellow, Tartrazine, Ponceau 4R, Iron Oxide, Titanium Dioxide, Patent Blue V.

I had to go and lie down in a darkened room after reading this.

Wheat NO!
All those colours and additives NO

hmmm thought it wasnt any good. right is there anything out there in the £20 mark thats any good as when i look at ingredients im looking at a foreign language as i have no clue

This used to be an ok food until they reduced the meat content from 26% to 14% - ok for a supermarket food

No idea but if you go down to PAH look for the following:

One grain if possible at most two
Oats are best, rice is next best thing
Named protein source eg chicken or lamb etc
NO colourings

Less is often more ............

thanx Sb for the info weve decided to go back to wainwrights after this sack of burgess has gone, less treats but a good food is better i reckon. well we live and learn lol.

I feed Wainwrights wet trays - thus far Dex is doing better on this than he has on anything else.
