Sankari Posted March 13, 2009 Share Posted March 13, 2009 We feed Advance to Charlotte (3.5yrs) and Bonnie Working dog to Zoe (2yrs). Zoe gets more raw than dry so it really is only breakfast and lasts her forever! Both girls are doing extremely well with their diets so i am happy :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miranda Posted March 13, 2009 Share Posted March 13, 2009 However i still would say is't a great food...but i don't think you can get it in Aus anymore anyway...lol. Nutro is set for relaunch in a matter of days. Sags Do you mean that it's being imported again? Is it the same formula? Nutro was the best food I've ever fed to my dogs, they did brilliantly on it.

Sagittarian Posted March 13, 2009 Share Posted March 13, 2009 No, it's now being made in Australia. I have only seen two of the lines and the formula appears slightly different, but not in any way that would negatively impact the results. However, the proof will be in the eating. And pooing.

Thanks Sags. I'll probably give it a try, I haven't been entirely happy with any other dry food I've tried. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShesaLikeableBiBear Posted March 13, 2009 Share Posted March 13, 2009 Terrorbull, you were probably caught in the betwitx and between when Nutro were having problems with irradiation of food by AQIS. We have been feeding Ziwipeak since Nutro pulled the plug here last year, we are more than happy with the results but its costing us an arm and a leg to feed 8 dogs. We have tried Dick Van Patten's Natural Balance Ultra and not happy with sloppy poohs (our are all house dogs). We are currently trialling Artemis and so far so good since Tues. Would be interested in trying Nutro as we fed the US formula for nearly 8 years Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sushidog Posted March 13, 2009 Share Posted March 13, 2009 EP Holistic Chicken & Rice - Dogs perform great, shiny coat, poo a little on the hard side but no problem, dogs don't go crazy for them but don't hate it either. This is the only kibble I feed my dog, mainly because we can't get any other super premium from where we live. Will start trying other formulas soon.

My dogs do well on nutrience, and i am happy with it, so wont be changing !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShesaLikeableBiBear Posted March 13, 2009 Share Posted March 13, 2009 Each to his own, Terrorbull, but one can't entirely blame the manufacturers of Nutro for a problem which came about because of AQIS restrictions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teebs Posted March 13, 2009 Share Posted March 13, 2009 Im not blaming anyone I just rather nutrience over nutro. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
astonnolan Posted March 13, 2009 Share Posted March 13, 2009 ive had my 2 x 12 month old boxers on supacoat for about 6 months and just recently swtiched to Eukanuba, no real change seen yet. Once at 15 months i will switch them to Royal Canin Boxer. They also get meaty bones and chicken necks, wings, lamb shanks etc every other day.

Sagittarian Posted March 13, 2009 Share Posted March 13, 2009 Astonnolan... did you know that Royal Canin now has released Boxer Junior in Australia? If you are intending to change to the adult version, it might be worth getting a sample of the puppy formula. Sags Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
badboyz Posted March 13, 2009 Share Posted March 13, 2009 Only thing this thread proves is that every dog is different. I change my dog food regularly between the premium brands. Does not do them any harm at all. I think I prefer Pro Plan though, as a first choice. Did Nutrience for a while and output a bit sloppier than preferred. Nutro proved nothing special for my dogs and too hard to get reliably. Generally I buy whatever has the best special/promo. Dry food is less than half of their diet anyway. My cat though is much better on Eukanuba (hairball) than any other. Nutrience made her very sloppy. Have used Hill's also, but she still had hairball issues. Same with the better supermarket brands. Euk definately for her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
