sorry meltoadhall, perhaps I am opening a can of worms, but am interested to know what is wrong with feeding Hills or Eukanuba. My dogs are fed Hills, but supplemented by chicken or beef, both fresh from the butcher, cooked with pasta and vegetables so they have some interest. My last two dogs died at aged 14, so cant see what wrong it did them. My present girls have wonderful gleaming coats, so something must be right? Snappy, what do you feed your dogs out of interest?
