Alternative to Lilly's Kitchen Dog Food
Discussion
My two dogs go through 60Kg of dog food a month, so value is important.
We bought Millies Wolfheart on recommendation of someone else with the same breed. And they've thrived on it.
Their dry food is anything from 40 to 80% meat. They also do wet food for £26 for 12 cans, but we never use that as mine just eat the dry food and all the household leftovers.
Best thing is the next day DPD delivery.

We use Purina chicken-based kibble for our Vizsla (yep, apt username etc 
). Plus assorted treats (pizzles, pig ears, bones from the butcher etc)
He's now 7 yr old, never needed the vets apart from annual injections, VERY lively fun dog, lean and athletic, most people we meet think he's 'still a young dog'.
As a pup we took him to a local training place (poor choice, our fault) where the trainer rubbished any 'mainstream' foods such as Purina, Hills, Royal Canin etc, claiming they contained (amongst other 'nasties') sugar beet process residues (they do, fibre, but with virtually zero free sugar) which gave the pup a 'sugar high' leading to manic behaviour. I happen to know from my (clinical/science-based) career that this is nonsense, the urban myth of a 'sugar high' in children following the eating of sweets has been pretty well debunked by the medical profession.
The lady in question didn't react well when I told her 'I could agree with you, but then we'd both be wrong'
Oh well.

Oh well.Our working cocker has been on Millies Wolfheart for probably 10 years now, changed from Barking Heads, she loves it, now on lower fat versions as not quite active as she used to be at 12.5 years old but still more active than most dogs and absolutely loves their "Porky Strings" as a treat. Great customer service and advice as well.

We've used the Purina Beta for Puppies with Chicken for Puck which was suggested by the breeder, he says it's the only stuff he feeds his dogs through their lives. Opposite to you when we went to puppy class we were the only ones who they didn't suggest an alternative food to. ).

Oh well.She still loves it and it's still my primary training aid, being a lab any food will be scoffed in second. But it must be alright as my sisters dog who is excessively fussy and takes forever to eat absolutely gobbles it down and also will take it as a treat which she only really does for extremely smelly items.
