" Canine Choice Adult Large is a complete, high quality food, packed with real meat, health-protecting mineral extras and naturalingredients, carefully chosen to actively support your dog's health. Our large kibble size has been specially adapted for bigger breeds.
Canine Choice is carefully formulated to meet the nutritional and energy requirements of large dog breeds, including 60% chicken, salmon, or lamb meat of which a high percentage is fresh; sweet potato for energy and dietary fibre; and vegetables and natural botanicals to support all-round health. It seems contrary to what you'd expect, but large dog breeds don't burn up as much energy while they're resting as their smaller friends. In other words, they tend to have a lower metabolism, which means they shouldn't consume as many calories per kilogram if they want to stay a healthy weight.
"If you want something done right, do it yourself" words our resident vet, Andrew, really took to heart when he'd had enough of substandard dog food and created Canine Choice. Dogs don't need cheap fillers and allergens like beef, wheat and soya they need a meat-rich, high quality, balanced diet, and pet parents need to know they're getting the best possible value for their money. "
I'm a raw feeder but with having 4 Boxers to feed I've had to look at reducing costs. This saves me £70 a month!
I feed a mix of Canine Choice and Raw. Just finished the 1st 12kg bag and I have to say I'm impressed, as are my dogs!
Poos still minimal and easy to pick up (less 💩 in less 💩 out). No noticeable changes in weight or condition either!
So far I'm really impressed 👌

We have been buying this food for 3.5 years. Please update your pricing, it’s now £53.95 per bag. Please also could you look at the ingredients - we think the quality may have reduced considerably as we recently have to feed our dog a lot more quantity or his ribs Stary to show quite quickly, no other changes to his lifestyle, vet is happy with him.

Hi Ralphie, Canine Choice is not made using artificial flavours, plus we only uses natural preservatives and therefore the food is classed as Natural as per FEDIAF. (The European Petfood Industry Federation (FEDIAF) states that natural pet foods should only contain components to which nothing has been added and have undergone only processing that maintains their natural composition. FEDIAF allows the use of synthetic vitamins and minerals with an appropriate disclaimer.) I hope that put your mind at rest :) Kindest regards, The Canine Choice Team

As posted by someone else this too did not agree with our Labrador. His enthusiasm for the food slowly decreased until he would refuse to eat it completely. The only way I can now get him to finish the bag is to mix in some wet food. Once the bag is gone I will not be re-purchasing which is a shame as it seems such high quality.

We are sorry to hear that your Labrador did not enjoy Canine Choice. You are correct in regards to the high quality of our product and we find sometimes that switching flavours, can help for some dogs when it comes to palatability. Kindest Regards, The Canine Choice Team

Sadly did not agree with my Labrador. Tried to move him from Millies but he was less enthusiastic about his meals and once the percentage reached 25% Millies/75% Canine choice he vomited yellow bile each morning for 5 days. I think he was digesting it too quickly leaving his stomach empty. As soon as I changed back the vomiting stopped, however I am mixing the remains of the bag with 4 parts Millies to 1 part Canine Choice to use it up and he's fine.

We are sorry to hear that your Labrador did not enjoy Canine Choice. We have found that some dogs do need a longer transition time from their previous food as Canine Choice is a high quality, meat-rich diet. We find sometimes that switching flavours can help for some dogs when it comes to palatability. Kindest Regards, The Canine Choice Team

Very good. Use it as a break from Aatu. Dogs eat every pellet. Grain free and high score on nutrition and ingredients. Seems to go a long way!

This food is suitable for the following breed sizes:
Private label (or white label) pet foods are pre-formulated recipes that companies can order from certain factories, add their own label or packaging and retail to the public as their own brand. They are therefore available from numerous suppliers. Click here for more info.
In general, unless your dog has health issues, you probably won't have to worry about these figures. Click here for more information
This is the ingredients list as printed on the packaging or manufacturer's website.
Think of the 'mixing bowl' composition like a recipe - all the ingredients you would need to put in a 'mixing bowl' in order to make the food.
Ingredients have to be listed in descending order of their weight so the higher it appears, the more there is.
Highlighted ingredients
Ingredients that we believe to be controversial or inferior are highlighted in yellow with particularly low grade, highly contentious or excessively vague ingredients in red.
As fed composition
While the 'mixing bowl' composition is useful for knowing what went into the food, it doesn't always reflect what your dog is actually eating. This is because the processes that turn the ingredients into the finished pet food can significantly alter the relative weights of the ingredients.
For this reason we've calculated the approximate 'as fed' percentages for the main ingredient categories in the finished product.
Please note that these figures are very approximate. They are estimates based on the information provided by the manufacturer in the ingredients list so the clearer the terminology and the more percentages they provide, the more accurate our estimates will be. Wherever information is lacking, we always assume the worst.
Ingredient categories
◉ Meat ingredients: includes all meat and fish ingredients except isolated fats/oils.
◉Added oils and fats: includes all isolated oil and fat ingredients.
◉ Carb-rich ingredients: includes all ingredients derived from grains, pseudo-grains, potatoes and other starchy root vegetables, sweet potato and legumes (except whole peas which are categorised under fruit and veg) except for isolated protein and extracted oils. Also includes fibre supplements.
◉ Fruit and veg: includes all whole vegetables and fruits.
◉ Other: all other ingredients. Mostly made up by nutritional supplements and additives.
The dry matter level of a nutrient is the percentage there would be in the food if all of the water was removed.
With water taken out of the equation, these figures allow the nutrient levels of foods of different types (like wet and dry) to be compared on an even playing field.
In general, unless your dog has health issues, you probably won't have to worry about these figures. Click here for more information
The price per day of feeding this food based on feeding the manufacturer's recommended daily amount from 12kg bags bought at their rrp to a dog of:
kg
Go!
Note: All suggested feeding amounts and costs are only approximate and may vary considerably from dog to dog. Be sure to contact the manufacturer if in any doubt.
79 out of 100 - Good
Our unique product ratings are calculated based on a number of characteristics including the quality and quantity of the stated ingredients, certain nutritional and technological additives and the processing methods used to create the food. They are designed to indicate how beneficial we think a food is likely to be for the majority of dogs when fed on a daily basis for an extended period. Click here for more information
Country of origin: Spain
A technological additive is any substance added to a pet food "for a technological purpose and which favourably affects the characteristics of feed".
While the primary effects of technoloical additives are certainly 'favourable' (increased shelf life in the case of preservatives & antioxidants, better food texture and consistency in the case of gelling agents and thickeners etc.) some have been linked to health problems in pets and should be treated with caution.
Unfortunately, many technological additives do not have to be declared by the manufacturer so just because they do not appear on the label does not necessarily mean they are not in the food. If in doubt, ask the manufacturer directly exactly what technological additives their foods contain.
