Supercoat Puppy

Wow.. Since moving out of home I've been feeding my dogs SuperCoat with no problems whatsoever They also get lean beef mince or kangaroo mince with their meals though..

I have recently gone back to using Supercoat. I have tried more expensive brands, (Eukenuba, Science Diet) Royal canin sounds great, but it also is quite expensive and not easy to get in some areas, I changed to supercoat because economically it suits me much better having quite a few dogs. I feed my labs 1 cup of supercoat a day and they get mince, chicken wings, meaty bones, once a week they get sardines and an egg. As well as natural yoghurt about 3 times a week. I haven't found any change in coat condition, weight etc with supercoat. When I first started the change, they did poo a bit more, but now that has settled down and they are back to normal. I think if you feed them too much they poo more. I wouldn't recommend Supercoat if it was the only food fed to the dog, but as a top up to the raw diet I don't think it hurts at all. If anything I think it would be beneficial.

I originally fed my Rottweiler SuperCoat Puppy - and I regret it. He had LOADS of sloppy poos - and he developed colitis due to the large amount of waste that he was producing.

Supercoat - being an inferior quality food - requires that you feed your pets large quantities of product to give them enough energy etc.

We swapped to Eagle Pack - jumped from $40 for a 18kg bag of SuperCoat, to $100 for a 15kg bag of Eagle Pack - but it is worth EVERY penny.

If you buy in bulk, I believe most suppliers give you a discount - we save between $10 -$15 per bag if we buy more than one - and yes, it is a large outlay - but you have to keep buying the food anyway, it doesnt go off that quickly, so it is a saving.

It costs us about $5 a day to feed our boy - and he is a 40kg Rotti.

This includes his Eagle Pack and any additions - vegies, rice, pasta, sardines, human grade mince, treats etc.

I think that is quite cheap.

In the long run, it works out cheaper to feed a HIGH quality food - your Nutro, Eagle Pack, Royal Canin. As i believe they end up having less 'issues' and less vet visits.

win win situation if you ask me!!
