Re: food for thought.
you will get so many answers to this, have a good look through the health and feeding section as its been covered many times.
If it was easy it wouldn't be so much fun.

Re: food for thought.
Nature diet puppy meat everytime here. I dont like feeding dry food to puppy's as they have to drink one heck of a water to compensate for it, you can soak it I suppose but feeding meat IMO gives them the best start and as the saying goes "You are what you eat". Eukanuba is not the best dry food on the market but better than some of the muck out there. If you are desperate to feed a dry food then something like Fish 4 Dogs, healthy Paws, Barking heads, James Wellbeloved are some of the better choices out there 
My Attitude is based on how you treat me!!

I feed Ardon Grange puppy, I find James Wellbeloved way to rich. But years ago I had a litter on Chudleys and the pups looked fantastic, so horses for courses.

Found the same with James WB also, went right through every pup, and I've tried a few on it.James wrote:And thats all any of this is.............t jack wrote:In your opinionPink Gundog wrote:Nature diet puppy meat everytime here.

Re: food for thought.
Back to my now over-stated point that you feed what you like, and if your dogs look and perform well on it then it'll do fine. If they don't, change it.
