I like Petbarn as their service is great- online and instore. I use their Beef and Roo mince with nourish 27 to make up my own raw food. I breed golden retrievers so need kibble as well so puppies go to their new homes having had a range of foods. I absolutely loved Healthy Everyday Pets food as so low in carbs but unfortunately they have gone into receivership. My next choice is SaviourLife then Leaps and Bounds large breed puppy.
What I don’t like is that they don’t help breeders as they are all about rescues. There wouldn’t be many rescues if people bred responsibly and trained puppies.
Petbarn slightly cheaper than petcircle, significantly cheaper than pethouse and 2 branches quite close to me. I can have what I want within 20 minutes, not a week.
Hi Suzie, the Meals for Mutts review should give you a good idea. Most reviews try to cover the range in general, even if they tend to focus on a specific formula.
Hi I feed my fur baby BLACK HAWK and alternate between chicken and lamb. He seems to love it. He is six now and I’ve given him this brand since I first got him at 8 weeks. The first year till he turned he advance puppy food but don’t r then, black hawk.
I also have a senior dog who is almost 12 y.o. She is his mom and I give her EUKANUBA senior. Is that a good brand for her or is there an alternate brand. I just want the best for her. I’m on a pension so cost is a factor but her health is more important.
Plz help
Thank you
Hi Erika, generally I find senior brands have less meat and more carbs, which I don’t consider beneficial for a senior dog. Personally, if cost is an issue, at the very least I would add some fresh meats or offal to your dog’s diet as well.
I’ve just bought a bag of savour life – grain free, large breed adult (with ocean fish & salmon) and was wondering what you might think of it? Your reviews are so detailed and educational. Thank you
I shop at pet barn for dry food (I feed a mix of dry and raw) I use savourlife, but mix it with other brands that have an 8 or higher rating. I find pet barn quite expensive, but convenient and Being a member I usually gets decent savings. Having all their brands on the one page will definitely save me time as I usually refer the site when I go in to shop. Thanks for the site, I recommend it to others often.
