Chappie original. It's what my lot eat at night and at the weekends mostly. They are thriving on it - they all have weak tummies and this suits them - also it came recommended by our vet as having all the nutrition they would need and being as good as and in some cases better than many of the much more expensive brands.
I also know someone who favours the James Well Beloved brand as that too caters for sensitive tummies and has fewer nasties in it than a lot of other brands - that one is not so cheap mind. _________________ Staffies are my life! Visit us at www.staffies.co.uk |

We use Royal canin for Mishka they do a wide variety of food and very good quality. They do breed specific and general foods. Hi there everyone. Got a spare few seconds in my life to do normal things |

Hi Deborah
Royal Canin is the food my Persians have as they have runny bums with EVERYTHING else - a Persian with a runny bum is just too vile for words _________________ Staffies are my life! Visit us at www.staffies.co.uk |

Hi Deborah
We use Arden grange dry food for Hobbes. He only likes the chicken one though, we're usually about £35 every 6 weeks but that's counting a few bags of dry treats and delivery as it isn't stocked in pet shops
I'm not actually sure if this is reasonable in price or not as Hobbes is my first dog. I find it very good for Hobbes and we've never had any problems with it. _________________ Corinne and Hobbes |

I feed my lot on Hills science plan which they all love
They do lots of different varieties.. puppy, adult, senior and sensitive.
You can get it for around £38 for a 15kg bag. |

Burns is around the same price as JWB... We feed our 2 JWB and both are doing good on it and seem to like it, although with Kodi a 15kg bag only lasts about 2 weeks if that ... if it was just Rose then it would last atleast a month probably longer
Dunno where you have looked or at what prices etc but the cheapest I have found JWB is here: http://www.petplanet.co.uk/dept.asp?dept_id=678
£36.99 with free delivery... Its usually atleast £40-45 in pet shops
Edited to Add
Just done another search for JWB and you can get 18kg for £39.99(with free delivery I believe) here: http://www.gjwtitmuss.co.uk/JAMES-WELLBELOVED-ADULT-DRY-DOG-FOOD/cid799/JAMES-WELLBELOVED-ADULT-DRY-DOG-FOOD.asp |

Otto has been on JWB since we got him and he has thrived on it. He he burns off a lot of energy so gets 600g a day.
It costs around £32-34 so ain't cheap, but never had any problems with it. |

I am sure we have told you in the past.
We use Dr. Johns for our two.
Roughly £10.00 per 15KG bag. Last us roughly 3 weeks.
