Hi Tracie,

I also reside in the UK.

Burns is a very good product and my dogs have been fed on it previously, however like yourself a lot of people complain that their dogs can't keep the weight on with Burns.

I currently feed my dogs Arden Grange and have been for some considerable time now. They have a very good product range and most dogs find the food very palatable. They have a wonderful nutritionist by the name of Nessa who is absolutely lovely and very knowledgable. When I have consulted with her in the past she has offered to send out samples.

If you need to put on a bit of weight on your boy, then possibly Premium: Rich in fresh chicken would be a good option.

Arden Grange also have a moist food now. It is quite pricey but is very good quality (human grade, no derivatives, hypoallergenic etc) if you still wanted to mix in a moist food with the dry.

Natures:Menu also have a new canned food. Again quite pricey at 1.09 per 395 grams, but again a good quality food.

All my dogs love both the canned and dry foods.

My oldest boy (10 years) is on the A/G Lamb and Rice, my youngest  boy (6 months) is on the Large Breed Puppy/Junior. My female  (18 months) gets finicky when she has her seasons so I have to sometimes interchange hers and she will eat either of the above or the Premium or the above canned foods.

I would thoroughly recommend A/G. I think with all the recalls that go on nowadays you do have to have a bit of faith in the product you feed your dog and I feel quite happy with A/G.

Anyway, good luck with your search for a new food.

Kindest regards

Tigermouse,i see you are looking into Timberwolf, i am not sure if that is easy to get here. GSDalways suggests ArdenGrange range of foods,this would be much easier to get,and i think they do grain free.I know a lot of people who use this food and are totally satisfied with it and just would not use anything else. liz

hey guys

blimey dog food is a real minefield lol, i have tried Arden grange in the past and two of my dogs just refuse point blank to eat it i still have half a bag in the shed lol

i am looking into two foods at the moment, orijen and timberwolf i can get both through a company called Zoo plus i have used them for a few years now and never had a problem (fantastic for buying treats cheap)

thanks for all your help guys :)

Orijen have mini bags that you can buy if you wanted to try it out first. I bought a few mini bags before and have used them as treats. I have heard of a lot of good reviews on Orijen. It appears to be a very good food. Too high in protein for mine as they are not working dogs.

Hi Tracie,

i had problems maintaining weight on my dogs when they were fed Burns, I cant feed raw as 1 dog is allergic to most meat proteins I feed Skinners Field & Trial Duck and rice, this is a working dog food so no VAT
