Puppy Dry Food

[cmach70]

Hi, I know this has been discussed before but getting confusing with all the suggestions and post.

Ive got a 12 week old staffy which was fed RC and more recently IAM. Ive had no problems with both food except for the price (Some people may find the cost reasonable but for me its quite expensive). Iam just hoping to get some ideas from people who may or may not have staffys but have tried a number of reasonably price dry food for theie pups. I ready dont want to skimp on quality food but if there is something else on the market that is cheaper and not crap than Iam willing to give it a go. I realise from reading previous post that different foods have different effects on dogs (poor coat, sloppy poos etc...)but if people can share what they are feeding, than that would be a good start for me. Thanks

A few people here have used Great Barko and Uncle Albers with good results. Supercoat is another cheaper option.

I've not used either of these brands though so can't really comment if if they're any good or not I wouldn't think they'd compare to RC though.

Have you thought about bulking up your dogs diet with raw bones ie chicken necks/wing/carcus? Very cheap and would cut down the amount of dry that you use, thus allowing you to continue with the RC/IAMS.

Also remember that you'll end up feeding much larger amounts with a supermarket brand rather than a premium food (due to all the fillers) so not neccesarily a cheaper option.

Make sure that you make any changes to diet slowly though, especially with a pup.
