Diva Posted April 3, 2008 Share Posted April 3, 2008 I think they are low in protien and fat.If you are paying $5 a kilo I wount more for my money. I think even lean beef is only about 22% protein, so by the time bone and veges are included it's got to come down from that. For my guys too high a protein % is a bigger concern than too little so they sound good to me, I wonder if they are made in WA which might mean that they won't get over here.

Hi, I think this may just prove what I have been saying for ages. I am looking for something that is high in fat and protein and you are happy with less. All I think is,...... that different breeds of dogs have many varied and different requirements. I am sure there are plenty of foods produced to help satisfy our dogs needs.

Tiggy Posted April 4, 2008 Share Posted April 4, 2008 I bought a couple of bags of the Frosty Paws Patties today and the first thing I noticed was there so small compared to the Dr B's Patties and they have a strong vegetable smell and I can see alot of vegetables where as with the proper Dr B's Patties the vegetable content is much less which I prefer. Dr B's Patties has a much better ingredients list to. I'm just hoping now there's some competition the Dr B's Patties will come down in price. I suppose if your going to feed a supermarket dog food the Frosty Paws Patties would be the best but I think the Dr B's Patties are a far superior product.

Diva Posted April 4, 2008 Share Posted April 4, 2008 I saw that Dr B's have gone up to over $20 per 2.2 kg (think that was the weight, the normal size pack anyway) at my local place, too expensive for me now except as an emergency fall back. Maybe still OK for people with smaller dogs. I agree Oakway it's horses for courses, mine do need a lot of fat/oil but in dry food especially I steer clear of protein levels any higher than real meat has particularly as I have young dogs - and most especially when the high protein is combined with high carb/grain levels. They mostly get a diet of meat with offal and RMB's as a consequence. If frosty paws are made in Qld maybe they will make it to here, I'll keep a look out.
