I feed my 2 labs, friends Pedango and my adult fosters (mostly) on Harringtons,
I find it is really good. Cost between £19 and £23 for 15k bag. Coats good, poo firm (Mambo once aday, Skittle 2or 3, but that depends on what she has nicked Rolling Eyes )

Such a minefield out there too!! Laughing

I feed my two Burns Lamb & Rice, which they are both doing well on. I buy it online for £40 per 15kg bag with free delivery.

Food is an absolute minefield and what works for one, won't necesarily work for another. There are also so many different products it is difficult to know where to start. The most popular on here seem to be Simpsons, Skinners, Orijen, Burns, Arden Grange and a few others .... all vary in price and availability, but all can be purchased online.

Eddies on Skinners, about £20 for 15kg, as a few from this site recommend it. You'll get loads of differing opinions though, I picked a price I was willing to pay and compared the options.

Good luck!

I have just bought HPR Duck and Potato for Gillie to try as it has no cereal or wheat in. Hopefully it will help his belly which is very sensitive. £34 for 15KG.

Is this for your dog which you are hoping to breed from? It could be worth posting in the Breeding section if you are looking for something suited to a wannabe-mum!

My 2 both look good on Skinners Salmon food.

My Lab is fed Skinners F&T Turkey & Rice about £26 per 15kg bag, he looks fantastic on it, but what suits one dog may not suit another. Skinners would make my Pointer ill (allergies) so he is on Burns Lamb & Rice and Wainwrights Lamb & rice trays, which works out an awful lot dearer but keeps him out of the vets. Smile

No idea how old your dogs are I'm afraid but not all foods work for all dogs although I can see why you'd want to try and get them on the same. Please don't chop and change foods a lot though as you'll risk giving them poorly tummies. I think this thread might be of interest if you read all the way through - I know its from the puppy section but it covers a lot of ground and is relevant in thinking about what to feed yours http://www.labradorforums.co.uk/ftopict-83059.html
