Really interested to see this review as it comes to exactly the same conclusion as we have made having fed Skinner's for 35 years. There's better things out there, but not at that price! My partner has fed Skinner's foods to his working terriers, laboradors, spaniels, bloodhounds and our pet terriers for 30 + years and they have all lived into their old age with no notable health issues. Considering the number of dogs we have had and bred over that time (must be around 300+ dogs) this is a remarkable testimonial. I am not so wedded to the brand as he is however I wholeheartedly agree with your conclusion that FOR THE PRICE POINT Skinner's dry food cannot be beaten for quality. Yes there are a lot of superior dog foods out there but you won't find anything better than Skinner's for the money. As I have found to my cost you can in fact spend a lot more money on inferior dog foods. The fairly recent addition of wet food to Skinner's range is very welcome and we are very impressed with that which on the whole is even better quality than the dry food. In case you were wondering I don't work for Skinner's!!! I just have more experience of their products than most dog owners! I also agree Maintenance is not a good food now - definitely not the same product it was 10+ years ago. Ditto for Working 23 which my partner fed and swore by for 30 years to all his dogs big and small, young and old who all thrived on it. We reluctantly had to stop using as the formulation changed around the time of covid and some of our dogs refused to eat or got upset tummies. I think they took the rice out of it and I'm sure there used to be some beef in it. We changed to the Chicken & Rice as our go-to food and haven't looked back. All our dogs do so well on this again.

I have fed Skinners with my last 5 dogs. Some, GSD and ESS, preferred Ruff & Ready, which I soaked, my Labs like Duck or Salmon with Rice. My current black lab is shining like a mirror, good thick coat, no itching, loads of energy, not too gassy and not overweight at all. People actually stop me and comment on his condition and ask what I feed. The only times he has been at vets was one Labrador Lug (swimming when bacteria count high), one viral canine enteritis and one Swimmer's Tail. Apart from his boosters, that's it in 5 years. His joints are good, teeth nice and white with very little tartar and, he likes it!!!!!! The proof is walking about so what else can I say!!!!!!!!

I feed my dog on Skinners Field and Trial Maintenance. I pay £27 for 15kg. I moisten it with tepid weather and add salmon oil. My dog has great stools, a lovely coat and tartar free teeth.

Hi since the change of ingredients, one of my dogs keeps getting really bad runny poo and wow a lot of gas that smells really bad. Anyone else seeing/smelling the same thing? My other dog is fine. They have both been eating skinners since about 6 weeks of age .
Margot and Moose Ccaroll Rrankinn one year ago
Yes! Same here too. I did gradual change from existing food to Skinners and went for the lamb version, I've ordered salmon now to see if that will make a difference. If no change, they'll be going back to the food they were on which is more expensive but worth it to not have runny poops every day! I have four dogs so was trying to scale back on the cost of their feed but it's def not worth it. They've been on Skinners now for around seven weeks and I realise that it can take some adjustment but this is ridiculous!

Just a heads up if anyone new is thinking about starting this. The price here is wrong. It has increased dramatically its now £41 for the duck and rice direct from the supplier and my local farm shop which used to sell it at £28 a bag have put it up to £56 the puppy version has went from £34 a bag to £52 direct and £68 in the farm shop, since I bought the last bag. It's a shame as it was the best value dog food. But that's more than inflation. That's doubled in the farm shop. No longer good value. But so far with the recipe cahnge the quality seems the same

My Springer Spaniel has been on Skinner's Duck & Rice for years with no problem. He's a very food motivated dog but last autumn he went right off it and stopped finishing his bowl. I asked Skinner's if their recipe had changed along with the packaging redesign and they confirmed the protein levels had raised but the rest of the recipe hadn't changed. I suspect they have a new manufacturing supplier using different quality of ingredients to before. My dog is now on Millies Wolfheart Riverside Mix which scores much higher and couldn't he couldn't be happier. Before my Skinner's ran out, I tested offering him two bowls (1 Skinners, 1 Millies) and let him sniff which he preferred. Every time he chose Millies Wolfheart and my less fussy Labrador finished off the Skinners.

They manufacture their own food.

Been on this Skinner's Salmon and Rice for years no problem. Now protein level changed from 20% to 25%. Dogs gone Hypo. Too scared to feed now ..

Seems to be mainly rice but the reviews are good.

Excellent food and a fabulous price. Good quality keeps my springer happy, bouncy and active. Without him bouncing off the walls and having pent up energy. He can be out all day and never falters but equally can wait for a walk. Stools are good! & he eats it well. I buy it from Fetch.com at a great price. Highly recommended x
