Read the book forever dog. What is put in dry/wet dog food is beyond belief. Lawn fetilizer chemicals for one. By chapter 2 I was in the kitchen making fresh food for my dog and feeling awful that for the last 8 years I have been feeding her killer junk food. In the last few months her itching and dry skin is gone, she's full of energy and very alert. I will never feed her or any dog I own in the future "complete" dog food again.

What's the point of this Web site if dog owners are not going to heed. AADF can't say it but it's clear in it's break down that it's over priced rubbish. There are hundreds of better more nutritious products on the shelves and cheaper. One of the RC doesn't even have any icon fulfilment! Why is it frequently found in vet surgeries? Well Mars throws a lot of money at vet colleges and expects a return. One of the 'vets' commenting states it's good if mixed with a high protein like beef..... it's supposed to be a complete food and stand alone, not a mixer. Even the cheapest Wagg is better and that's saying something.

All the idiots posting on this site about this food being awful are the same people that think the earth is flat. This food is great when combined with a diet of high protein food such as chicken or lean beef. I am a vet of 30 years and can state with confidence that this is a great food for dogs. If your dog gaings weight in this it's because you don't give the dog enough exercise and is probably in the same shape as the owner.

Instead of "combining with high protein food such as chicken or beef ",, why not just feed a food with those components as its primary ingredients.

You would say that you're on good commission to sell it!! The word COMPLETE on dog food means you shouldn't be adding extra protein to you're dogs diet. Trading standards would be very interested in your comments.

This is RUBBISH. There are reasons for offering tailor made nutrition. For example the Dalmatian food is made for them as they are predisposed genetically to suffer from urinary problems. Anyone that has had a Dalmatian is aware of this. This food is almost a veterinary product it is so good and has had fantastic feedback. The Bulldog food to use another example - They as a breed have a brachycephalic jaw (flat face) this means they can find it difficult to pick up round shaped kibble. The Bulldog food has a specially designed wafer shaped kibble so that they can pick it up easier, taking in less air in the process, and thus reducing their flatulence. Again anyone that has had a Bulldog can confirm they can be windy!! So there is good reason for offering tailormade nutrition. And considering the millions they spend on research and development, i think they are in a better position to make our dogs food than we are!
