    For a good quality, reasonably priced food, I wouldn't go past Skinners Duck & Rice http://www.skinnerspetfoods.co.uk/products/field---trial-products/duck---rice/

    It's wheat & gluten free & hypoallergenic (ingredients: Whole rice (40%), duck meat meal (20%), naked oats, peas, whole linseed, sunflower oil, beet pulp, vitamins and minerals.)

    Price is £23 / 15kg at the local pet shop (it's vat free which helps a bit with the cost) but recently got 2 x 15kg bags online for £36 which is a great price.


    My dog's got various tummy problems & has done really well on this - he was on Wainwrights before but at £33.49 / 15 kg, it's a lot more expensive.

    Also agree that this Skinners dog food is excellent quality / value for the price.

    And it looks a damn sight more natural than the RC Prescription food ingredients in the OP's first post above! :eek:

    Wellbeloved has no rubbish in it. My dog is thriving on it.

    Royal Canin really, really upsets his stomach. It's not pleasant. :eek:
    Just because it says so in the Mail, doesn't make it true.

    I've got ADHD. You can ask me about it but I may not remember to answer...
