I wonder if you eailed them and asked what dog food it is 'equivalent' to whether you would be any the wiser?? After all you are not asking them to name names, just to tell you what it is similar to....

I did email them a few days ago and asked what the chicken meal % was and rice % on the food i was interested in and said that i usually buy Burns and want to compare it for cost and quality

But they didn't get back to me yet!!

Thanks for the link. According to their site, here's the ingredients list for the premium Hypo-allergenic chicken complete, which I assume is the same as the one on ebay. Opinions would be appreciated.

Ingredients:

Chicken Meat Meal (minimum 26%), Rice (minimum 26%), Maize, Chicken Fat, Barley, Beet Pulp, Full Fat Linseed, Fish meal, Brewers Yeast, Minerals, Vitamins, Herbs (Algae, Vegetables, Cereals, Molluscs, Crustaceans, Seeweed (Kelp), Thyme, Peppermint, Yukka Extract, Tumeric, Ginger, Oregano, Anlae, Carron Powder, Carob Powder, Paprika Pure, Dandelion Root, Fenugreek & Aloe Powder) Glucosamine, Chondroitin, Tocopherol Rich Extracts of Natural Origin.



Opinions would be appreciated.

The ingredients list here sound very similar to Joe Inglis's (TV vet) brand of dog food. I think it's called Joe & Jacks and is excellent quality food. I know he definitely does a hypoallergenic chicken & rice variety.

Okay, I might have it wrong, there seems to be two premium hypo-allergenic foods in the site, so this might be the ingredients list of the one on ebay.

What I meant was it may well be the same food being being sold by this company if they also manufacture for him. There aren't that many brands offering hypoallergenic chicken & rice which match the kibble shape/size so shouldn't take much to track down which major brand it is.

Sorry, I knew what you meat, was just correcting myself for anyone who wanted the ingredients.

Sounds likely if they've been in business for a while. Great price though, for what seems to be a great food. I'm still a little unsure, but that's probably because of the unknown factor.

This is the one i have ordered the premium +, a bit dearer than just the hypoallergenic one so will see if i notice any improvement in her coat.

They do a premium +, then a premium and then normal ranges like supermarket ones i think

I know what you mean about the unknown thats why i asked on here to see if anyone had used it, but then i found there hadn't but people have found useful info about them so i just ordered, just hope its worth it.

Ok so its day 2 of the food and pleased to say she loves it more than the burns as she would take or leave her burns food and eat only when starving but this stuff she actually cried for....lets hope it continues

Its too soon to comment on her coat condition changing yet but i have noticed today her poo's were a lot more moist, on the burns food of late they were becoming a bit dry and crumbly, but today 3 very easy pick up poo's if not a bit whiffy

I will let you know in time about her coat condition and whether the dryness has eased off any.

Do you use Kronch oil for her coat too?
