HELP what foodbrand to pick?

Hi guys

Luna has been having a case of bad breath now for a while. I went to the vet to have her teeth checked out. They are fine. The vet suggested that it could be her body not absorbing the food right. And when I think about it, the bad breath started when I switched her on to her current food, a danish brand.

I have now no idea what to buy.

B4 this she got Hill's Science Plan Natures Best for Large/Giant breeds, so its either back to that or to choose the Royal Canin specifically made for labradors. I've listed the ingrediens below, can someone help me to see which is best?

So can someone help? The prize differs a bit, but that's not the issue! And please dont suggest Naturediet, Burns, Autarky or others, as I cant get those brands in Denmark.

Thanks.......

Jeanette

can you get Pascoes there? Thas what Rocky eats and no bad breath (smelly farts tho lol!)

I cant even get Pascoes up here

i have never heard of pascoes? my vet breeds labs and she swears by the royal canin labrador one jeanette

I always find recommending dog food a mine field, as different foods suit different dogs

You could try something easily digestible like chappie, james Wellbeloved, Ocean white fish and kibble or another fish based food??

Good Luck

libs

Can't get Pascoes, James Wellbeloved or Ocean

Luna was having a fish-based brand, but she smelled badly out of her mouth......

Okay Katy. I've bought 12 kg of it, so hope it works..... Is that what u feed to Max?

Carole do they have a Pets@home nearby? They should stock em...

Sorry J dont know what else to suggest..

Hmmmmm I*ll just have to try the RC Lab thing then, if that doesnt help or makes her poo worse or often then I'll go back to Hills Natures Best, I know that one works. For Luna anyway!

yes, we do Azz, never thought of there, will have a look next time I am there. Just want to compare it to Burns.

Well can anyone help me decifer(sp?) the numbers on the 2 brands I mentioned above then?

Which of the 2 is the best?
