SueM Posted July 13, 2007 Share Posted July 13, 2007 Not a fan of supercoat double the poos and the ingredients arent that flash.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norskgra Posted July 13, 2007 Share Posted July 13, 2007 I am also not a fan of Supercoat. I tried a couple of mine on it when I was trying to find a food they would eat but they didn't do well on it. They poohed too much so they lost a lot of the nutrients that were in the food and the ingredients were not very good. There are several foods better than Supercoat.

laffi Posted July 13, 2007 Share Posted July 13, 2007 You should check out the Health / Nutrition / Grooming section. There is a lot of discussions about good dog food! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lil Miss LeiLani Posted July 13, 2007 Author Share Posted July 13, 2007 Thanks eveyrone !! He does seem to be pooing a lot !! What supermarket food ones would you recommend instead ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShesaLikeableBiBear Posted July 13, 2007 Share Posted July 13, 2007 Personally would not consider either supercoat or any other supermarket foods, they do not have the best of ingredients for a puppy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SueM Posted July 13, 2007 Share Posted July 13, 2007 (edited) Nutro is my food of choice the dogs love it and the ingredients are great,more pricey than supermarket food, but you feed less of it and its for the good health of my pets The only supermarket food I will touch is Natures Gift I occasionally put a bit of that in with the dry food and nuke it for a few seconds the dogs love it...

Lil Miss LeiLani Posted July 13, 2007 Author Share Posted July 13, 2007 How much is the Nutro & Eagle Pack foods ? where do you buy them from ? Our vet recommends Eukanuba - but its quite pricey and money is a bit tight at the moment :-( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Falling_dawn Posted July 13, 2007 Share Posted July 13, 2007 about $30-34 for eagle Pack 3kg bag not sure about Nutro I like EP Hated super coat lots of poo, dry coat and scraching Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paganman Posted July 13, 2007 Share Posted July 13, 2007 Yeah I found Supercoat pretty bad to, plenty of dog poo around and I had to feed them heaps of it to keep some weight on them. Most people on here recomend Nutro or Eagle Pack but I used to feed Advance and found it quite good. Most of the supermarket food is pretty crap.

Lil Miss LeiLani Posted July 13, 2007 Author Share Posted July 13, 2007 Where do you get eagle pack from ? I read in another post it helped to settle hyperactivity down !!??? Vet also recommends IAMS which is a bit cheaper than eukanuba. The breeder feeds hers on Optimum and another breeder i read feeds them Pedigree natural (but 1st ingredient is cereal/wheat i think & we were told that 1st ingredient should be a meat).

ellz Posted July 13, 2007 Share Posted July 13, 2007 If you only have access to Supermarket food then you should probably look at Optimum. Supercoat is the last food I would give ANY of my dogs for any reason. I'd rather feed the homebrand dry food than Supercoat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lil Miss LeiLani Posted July 13, 2007 Author Share Posted July 13, 2007 What about IAMS ?? we can get that from the vet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heidley Posted July 13, 2007 Share Posted July 13, 2007 You should be able to get most of the different brands of kibble at a pet supplies store, some places stock such a huge range can end up quite confusing but it's a good place to compare prices if money is tight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leopuppy04 Posted July 13, 2007 Share Posted July 13, 2007 If budget is tight but you still want to feed a reasonably good food - I would go Optimum over S/C - I had to feed Leo on about 5 cups of S/C and he was losing weight - he seemed to be pooing it all out!! I don't mind Optimum or the S/C before Dr Harry appeared on it For the premium brands - I still think there are a lot of crappy ones. I don't really like science diet or eukanuba. I do like Eagle pack and nutrience though. Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelpie-i Posted July 13, 2007 Share Posted July 13, 2007 C&Z, I recommend Eagle Pack. It doesn't contain fillers and by-products like the others and it actually contains less sodium than other leading super premiums like IAMs and Euk (which both come from the same manufacturer mind you). You'll find your dog will drink less water due to the lower sodium content. I changed all of my 4 dogs over to EP about 6 months ago, one is a 14 yo GSD, and I cannot believe the difference in all of them. Of course, EP is not their main diet, they are all fed fresh meat and vegies etc and are given meaty bones once a week. If you check out the website (which I believe has already been given), you'll find a list of stockists in your area. Well worth the trouble!! Give Supercoat and any supermarket brand a very wide berth!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
