Puppy/Dog food

Which is the best one too get? Our family gets a German Shepard pup next week who is a full pedigree.

Advice please.

Depends on your budget, it can get expensive getting the 'best'.

What's defined as the best? We've purchased Pedigree so far but speaking to someone they've said Pedigree isn't actually that good..

In all seriousness pedigree is meant to be bad. I feed mine either cesar/bakers gourmet thing with some human food (either braising steak or whatever is cheap) and some dry mixer.

It can get ridiculous ash, get down to your local petstore and take a look. I don't give my dog tinned meat every day, I use what the vet recommended, science plan.

All I know is stay away from bakers complete. Pet people and professionals I have spoken to says its no good and id actually banned in most countries

I thought Pedigree was meant to be good. Its made in Melton and they have their international pet food research centre nearby in Waltham. My old man worked at that factory for 30 years before retiring, still gets a mad discount at the on site shop... probably helps his choice of dog food for his 2 dogs tbf.

Yeah mine had Bakers and her energy levels just dropped awful stuff

Arden Grange.

This. The dog loves it, healthy stools, no added sugar/any other nasties and it's carefully calculated with the proteins and oils needed for healthy dogs. Definitely don't go on the cheap - feeding a puppy with that Bakers garbage is like bringing up a child on McDonalds chips. Crammed full of additives and salts/sugars so the dog eats it, but of incredibly poor nutritional value.

The cheaper foods are also known to give dogs bizarre energy spikes and lulls, and not getting the nutrition they need can bring on joint problems at very young age which can cost loads in vet bills and insurance premiums

We were feeding Wainwrights Puppy Best Friend to start but Arden Grange is supposedly the king of puppy foods so we weaned her onto that

Please for your pup's sake don't go for Bakers or any bargain basement stuff

Borajjos vet is son road Birstall.

Always taken my cats there and been treated well

We're registered there, good service and Borajo himself is a completely humourless chap, which makes him come across as incredibly professional

Also worth considering Chine House in Sileby - a little further afield but supposedly the best vets in the county

I think Eukanuba is meant to be good but don't quote me on it. Look for a dry food with low/no cereal content.

Ps you definitely need to post pictures.

Pedigree is pretty poor tbf, but saying that my birds dads dog, a springer, had that all his life he was healthy and active till he was 13, just depend on each individual dog really
