Forum Rules | 1. Here we prefer clarity to agreement. Obviously not everyone is going to agree on a topic; here we prefer to talk out our differences in a respectful manner to ensure mutual understanding and respect. 2. Read the Stickies and Announcements. Each sub-forum may have specific rules which trump the Forum Rules in cases where there may be conflicting information. Read the rules of each board before you post so that you are clear on the expectations of the staff. 3. Respect ALL Staff and Admins. These people volunteer of their time and MUST be respected as well as their word adhered to. They are responsible for maintaining a free, open, clear and organized forum. Anyone found to be openly undermining any official ruling by a staff member will be warned. 4. Signatures: One picture only and no links. Images: To keep the forum looking neat and tidy, we ask that members insert just one picture only in their signatures. The picture should be no more than 200x500 pixels and should be of an appropriate subject, for example, your dogs and their names. Should you need assistance creating an appropriate signature, please PM an Admin and we would be happy to help! This is to ensure that signatures remain a welcome addition to our forum instead of a cumbersome distraction. Links: Hyperlinks in signatures--unless to a personal blog or photo stream of your dogs (like Flckr or Piscasa, for example)--are strictly prohibited. Please PM a staff member with any questions or concerns regarding this rule. |

| This brand is highly regarded here in the UK and considered one of the best? A lot of dog owners I speak to/posts I read on UK based forums are happy with it but I know you guys have nothing good to say about it...
Why do you think there is such a big difference in opinion? Interesting, don't you think? |

| Two things I can think of off the top of my head are lack of education and fewer food choices across the pond.
For example I would never recommend James Wellbeloved (we don't have it here in the states) yet soooo many people in the UK highly recommend it. And that doesn't surprise me all that much considering that you guys don't have all the options that we do. So of the few foods that you have to choose from it actually would be fairly decent. _________________ |

| I don't think it's that much different here, in the general population anyway. It's almost funny to hear people talk about dog food around here. You can literally go from one person acting like it's poison, to the next acting like it's a top tier food. |

Yeh, I mean, JWB/Wainwrights/ProPlan/SciencePlan/NatureDiet are what everyone over here considers "the best"... When people ask what Luka gets fed and I mention that I'm switching from TOTW to Orijen they look at me like I'm feeding him cat food lol... Even today at petsathome - they asked what he was on and didn't have a clue what those brands were - the guy serving me was American with a very strong accent so I was surprised! - Domingo wrote:

| Since I'm "old" I can report that 20-25 years ago Eukanuba and Science Diet were VERY top of the line foods. Because our first husky had a food allergy and we were trying everything to help her, we even feed her ProPlan for a while. I think we in the US have such better choices now... we should be so thankful!! |

I guess we are still stuck in the stone age when it comes to choice of kibble |

| Im not so sure, i think we in general have a pretty varied selection here in the uk. And i have spoken to 3 different nutritionist and one is a lady who shows dogs at cruffs every year.
And for the most part they all said wainwrights is good kibble.. i have read the contents and its nutritional value and it does not nearly as much rubbish that some, even better known brands like bakers have..i was told bakers is paramount to giving your dog macdonalds every day...
we have pretty much stayed with the same one since we have had him, and vary it with chicken and then other treats now and then..
i would hate to think i was giving him crap... |

| I agree; 25 years ago Eukanuba was a great food and what I fed my husky when I was younger....now I wouldn't feed it to my dogs if it was free. Science Diet is definitely one of the most expensive crappy foods out there....but thanks to vets pushing it and making a huge profit on it, many people believe it is one of the best foods. - SabakaMom wrote:
