Switching from Raw recommendations.
I’ve been feeding my labrador a raw diet for the last two months as a trial and whilst I’m happy with it my partner isn’t. Taking too much freezer space, too expensive and she doesent like all the raw meat around our toddler.
I have to make a compromise so looking for recommendations on good kibble or other alternatives. I’ve looked at Naturediet and wolfworthy so far as replacements.
Before I was feeding her raw she was on a kibble the vets recommended (purina) but it’s full of wheat and she had a lot of poos when using that food, when on raw they were less frequent and little. So any recommendations?

Re: Switching from Raw recommendations.
We feed csjk9 tripe buy it by the half pallet load...
A good food for a comparable quality. We used to feed skinners and dogs didn't do well.on it.
But every dog us different and you will get lots of opinions.as to which.is best. But just because its expensive dosent make it better!

A well schooled dog will open doors, a poor one closes them quickly.

Re: Switching from Raw recommendations.
My almost 7 year old Labrador has been on Arden Grange Lamb and Rice for most of his life. He only poos once or twice a day and the poos are solid 
Re: Switching from Raw recommendations.
Same as jelinga, arden grange. We tried everything and AG was the only dry that she seemed to like or was suitable regarding the output. Interestingly for two years we used the chicken version but one week ago tried the lamb one and found that the output could be kicked onto a shovel....havent tried it of course 
Muddling along in the hope that one day it starts to make sense.

I might give Arden grande a try, sounds promising.

Had her on Arden Grange for about a week now, whilst she goes more frequently the output is firm! Unlike the other kibble I had her on before trying raw.
Thanks for the recommendations.

Re: Switching from Raw recommendations.
CSJ for older dogs and Royal Canin Medium for pups. Tried loads over the years and settled on this, did like Proplan Athletic for the pups prior to this litter. Mine are not at all fussy and eat anything, all I look for is how they look and how they perform per cost.
