Never heard of it Jeanette, but looking at the over view I notice this:
• Helps reduce allergic reactions.
Special mixture of duck meal, potato meal and rice.
• Stimulates rapid healing of scars*.
I ask myself how do they know this unless they`ve "tested" it on dogs?, after the recent thread on the various foods and how the makers experiment on all breeds before selling them, makes me wary of all kinds sadly.
Someone like Kayc or John will be better able to analyze the list of ingredients than I am though, and I may be wrong in my suspicions

Yes, my two have a lot of chicken, but you can use all the meats as far as I know, I give CJ & Cindy gammon shanks, not often though because they make them very thirsty, I actually take some of the meat off for Cindy and CJ gets the rest with the bone.
Also they get Lamb shanks, used to be fairly cheap, not so much anymore sadly, guess the stores have caught on to people using them now
What problems is Luna having with food she`s on atm?, you just say she`s not doing good, in what way?

Well we have had numerous problems.. Right now she's having 450 grams of kibble (dry food) a day, and most of it comes out the other end...
Since Luna was a puppy, she has never pooped more than twice a day and portions that were firm and a "normal" size.. On this she's pooping 3 or 4 times a day and its soft or mushy at best...
This is just the last of quite a number of foods we have tried... Nutro Chicken&Rice and Nutro Lamb&Rice made her itch.. (It has wheat and gluten in it.. and there's a bit of chicken fat or sommin in the lamb&rice version too)
We are just reaching the point, where I dont know wot to do...

are you able to get naturediet? They do a number of combinations of their food.
Dylan has in intollerance it seems to something, so I am currenlty working through a regime to isolate the problem ingredient. Fortunately Naturediet includes no maize/wheat products or aditives at all, so it is easy for me to isolate the offending ingredient by swapping from recipe to recipe.
So far it looks like it might either be lamb or maize (from his training treats) that is the offending item.
One quick way you could identify the problem ingredient is to process your own food for a few weeks. i.e. lightly cook chicken, lamb etc. carrots and rice for him and feed one week at a time for each to see which works or not. Then you could search for the closest food you can find to the diet you decide works best.

Hi
Well before we started on this food, she was on boiled rice and fish, I tried boiled chicken, and she got a runny tummy....
Which is wot have made me think, that chicken could be the problem..
No we cant get Nature Diet in Denmark.. I can order it home from UK, but that's gonna be very expenssive...

Hi
A friend of mine feeds her Gordon setter Fish and mash potato, She usually cooks this once a fortninght and freezes it in portions. Feeding her twice a day. She has had to do this because of the problems she has with any other food she gives her. She still is what I call thin,but she appears bouncy and healthy she is now 8 yrs approx. Regards Meg
