Olivebaby Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 I had my Lab girl on advance as that's what the breeder suggested, but have started changing her to royal canine for labs. She tends to sort out the kibble and leave the advance so I'm guessing she prefers the RC :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inevitablue Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 My old dogs went nuts on Advance, like they were on Avgas! New pup turned her nose up at Advance (she won a bag) so I went back to Proplan. Previous dogs did well on it, never went through any palatability issues. New pup is very happy with Proplan. Interestingly, it's a diet I don't see mentioned much on here. Manufactured in Australia, so no sitting around on docks, never heard of a dog rejecting it, and a good range to meet various dogs. Works for my dogs, maybe worth some consideration.

benshiva Posted June 2, 2011 Share Posted June 2, 2011 My dogs thrive on Advance. I wouldn't feed them anything else You have to go with whatever food your dog thrives on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kelly_Louise Posted June 2, 2011 Share Posted June 2, 2011 I am more than happy feeding Sasha Advance. After many incidents with upset tummies, Advance is the food I can reliably feed her to keep her well and healthy, and her appetite constant - with consistently firm poos. It really is about what agrees best with your dog/s though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lyla Posted June 2, 2011 Share Posted June 2, 2011 If it's for Labradors, I found Advance gave mine very runny poos and I think a few others in the lab thread experienced the same thing. I now feed my boy Great Barko (amongst other things) as it's cheap and he seems to do well on it. My 4 labs are on Great Barko (but mostly raw / bones) and are doing really well. My boy has a sensitive tummy and it agrees with him, and my girls in whelp have done well on it to, saves having to chop and change. Check out: http://www.dogfoodanalysis.com/ It breaks down what the ingredients are, so you can make your own decision. From memory Euk scored 1 star, not sure about Advance.

Dory the Doted One Posted June 2, 2011 Share Posted June 2, 2011 Dory has been on Sensitive skin diets...she's a bit of a guinea pig sometimes, Hills Sensitive Skin...did okay, but got stinky after a couple of weeks. Poos were great! Always consistant, not too voluminous and didn't smell too bad. Eukanuba Sensitive Skin...Crap. Although Poos were similar to Hills. Eukanuba Response....Really good, until I read it had ethoxyquin in it...freaked out and don't use now. Advance Sensitive Skin...best for her skin condition, she stays smell free longer. HOWEVER...she poos a LOT more than she used too. Poos are pretty well formed but STINK. We have used the Advance Cat food on Oscar The Shark Slayer (kitty kat) and... horrendously stinky for a house cat. And a lot of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

twodoggies2001 Posted June 3, 2011 Share Posted June 3, 2011 Neither really. Don't be too trusting of propaganda, Try barf and if that doesn't work then stick to some kibble or other but give barf a chance, if raw agrees with your dogs you won't be looking back, http://www.dolforums.com.au/public/style_emoticons/default/smile.gif Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
