Ci Posted May 23, 2007 Share Posted May 23, 2007 I get my dry food from Priceless Pets and their have a pretty good one - Natural Balance. My dogs love it and it is good for Sammi as she has a sensitive stomach and all the others make her throw up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Norskgra Posted May 23, 2007 Share Posted May 23, 2007 I also agree with Miranda but I would also add Ziwipeak. I personally prefer Nutro and that forms the basis of my dogs' diet. They also have some Ziwipeak sprinkled on their Nutro. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poodle wrangler Posted May 23, 2007 Share Posted May 23, 2007 (edited) Is he in your avatar? Good-looking dog. The dry foods suggested by others are designed to be fed exclusively. They provide a lot of calories (and nutrients) for "something to fill him up". I only have one large dog, but far less muscle than a rotti , so can't recommend for your breed. Does he need to maintain, gain or lose weight? If you're happy with his weight and condition, I'd leave his diet alone. IMHO, dry food that stays fresh in a bag for many months must be less nutritious than fresh foods and/ or BARF. ETA: What's your price range? Brands like Nutro, Eagle Pack, Royal Canin, Eukanuba are >$90 per 15kg bag. Ziwipeak is even more. Edited May 23, 2007 by Poodle wrangler Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I only pay $70-80 15KG for my Nutro. Very reasonable price for a Super Premium dry! RRP for Nutro though is around the $95 mark? Also, You can get Ziwipeak in a 15KG bag? Boy it'd take QUITE a while to get through one of those wouldn't it? -WithEverythingIAm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShesaLikeableBiBear Posted May 23, 2007 Share Posted May 23, 2007 The super premium brands are more expensive but then you are feeding a lot less than many others, you are paying for quality not quantity, and for far better ingredients. Ziwipeak is the most expensive at about $117 for 5 kg. This is a much more highly concentrated food than even the super premium kibbles, a little goes a long way, and its ingredients again are far superior.

Hazz Posted May 23, 2007 Share Posted May 23, 2007 (edited) Brands like Nutro, Eagle Pack, Royal Canin, Eukanuba are >$90 per 15kg bag. Ziwipeak is even more. Not sure where your getting your figures but approximately Nutro, Eagle Pack, Royal Canin start from around $77, Eukanuba $74 for 15kg bags. Some of the super premium range goes slightly over $90 but most Adult Maintenance are between $70 - $80. Edited to add; for example a 30kg dog (fed the ration as printed on the bag) would cost $1.55 per day to feed on Eukanuba Large Breed, making a 15kg bag last 58 days.

ShesaLikeableBiBear Posted May 23, 2007 Share Posted May 23, 2007 Cavnrott, I dont know of any super premium which does not have at least one grain in its ingredients, Ziwipeak has no grains and no fillers. Their main ingredient is venison, folllowed by green-lipped mussel, neither of which are particularly cheap. We feed both Nutro and Ziwipeak Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
