Does anyone else feed this food?

I have noticed a change in composition approximately 3 times over the last 6 months, and twice it has caused my dogs to make keeping the kennel clean so much more difficult (Think Grommits porridge gun from Wallace and Grommits Close Shave). I got a reply the first time that nothing had changed apart from the machining, but there was a distinct colour change as well as a change in size. It felt less oily in my hand and something wasn't right. It's now changed again but I've had no reply to my latest email sent in early December.

Has anyone else noticed a change?

I have not fed the no grainer,but after feeding my dogs on my last bags of
Hi lost they lost coat condition and energy think it might of been a lack of oil
In feed. I also emailed csj but got no reply so am looking for a new source
Of dry dog food might try chudleys working crunch.

Hi Scott bin using CSJ complete tripe glutton free the dogs are spot on

I've bit the bullet today and ordered some fish4dogs food. Registered as a breeder and got the salmon working dog food for just over £30 a bag, cheaper than the CSJ stuff so we'll see how it goes

i had the same issue with Skinners, back when i was feeding a complete food. They refused to acknowledge any difference, like you're making it up!
Good luck with the F4D food. I use their SOS salmon oil which is great & their customer service is great.

me too, no complaints about it either.

I've been using No Grainer for a while and it seemed ok but since I changed over to raw in the last month her condition/energy has improved. At least feeding raw you know what you are feeding them and I think they like the varied diet... Having said that I think the No grainer is still very good value for money.

I use CSJ Complete tripe and mine have never looked better at this point in the season. My father feed the No Grainer to his dog, who has many allergies and can't have most complete dry foods. His dog has been on it for about 3 months now, with no allergic reaction, so we are delighted with it, and he has kept weight on better than ever before. We haven't noticed a difference that that time, and couldn't be happier with it, although it is pricey, but so are any of the other complete food options for this particular dog and his requirements due to his allergies (not counting raw).

I put somebody elses dog on it a few months ago.

Last week I saw him for the first time in ages and he was telling me to tell me how delighted he was with the condition of his dogs, "absolutely gleaming", and he thought they looked fine before the change. He is now feeding it to both of his pet border collies, and it's 26% protein!
