Shopping down a brand on dog food

29 replies

Our dog has Royal Canin Maxi Aging but the cost has gone up around £7 per bag and we're struggling with all the other bill increases and only being on maternity pay.
I was thinking of maybe getting the next brand down until I go back to work to save a little bit of money but not sure which brands are still good quality.

Dog is 12 years old, mixed breed and very sedentary due to hypothyroidism. He weighs 34kg.

Any recommendations please?

You could look at Tails.com for a bespoke recipe if you're struggling. My itchy Street dog has it as she's no good with grain and is also super fussy.

This is a referral code for a free month of dry kibble if you wanted to try that. You can always pass the food on to someone else if it doesn't suit him.

No to Tails. It's been bought out and is rubbish now.

I genuinely though RC was good, the vet never mentioned anything negative either.
I'll have a look at that website, thankyou 😊

I know a recent graduate vet socially.

By her own admission, they learn some things about treating diet related illnesses (like pancreatitis) but "fuck all" about normal dog nutrition.

As other posters have said, Royal Canin is rubbish food. Mine are on a food produced by Pero but half the price with a local farm shop own label. They have also enjoyed Chudleys, Field and Trial and Autarky, all mid-range. Just do some research.

Exactly where I would go for info too :-)
