Anyone know if this is suitable for terrier mixes. I have two, one pudgy, one skinny. I wouldn't mind cooking up that recipe of liver/lights and porridge either if more suitable. Any suggestions welcome.

Theres one called CP18(less active) which is presumably suitable for all dogs. Its made it into my thoughts along with a few others anyway.

Lots of people would disagree with you, andreac.

Thats fair enough, i never said it was the best, it was one of the better foods. It doesnt suit my dogs at all. Some think Royal Canin is a great food, but i dont. Everyone differs.

But Eukanuba is far far better than Lidl, thats for sure.

We had our rescue lab/sheepdog on science plan for 2 years as that's what she was being fed in the Santuary where we got her. About 6 months ago she seemed to get bored with her food and would only eat some of it. So we changed her to red mills to see would she eat it. I've read above that red mills is not great, would what was recommended for Op be suitable for my doggie? She is approx 3 years but not that active and she has itchy skin. Also we've noticed she has bad breath with red mills, I bought a stag bar for her thinking it would help but haven't noticed a difference

There are specialist foods for dogs with skin issues. Most quality brands will have one. Any dog with itchy skin and bad breath should be checked by a vet as it could be a number of things.

Feed mine on Skinners, they seem to thrive on it. I order it via Amazon.co.uk. Older one (2 1/2) is on Field & Trial Maintenance, about €19 a 15kg bag, lasts approx 3months with her. http://www.amazon.co.uk/Skinners-Field-Trial-Maintenance-Dry/dp/B003TL9T40/ref=sr_1_1?s=pet-supplies&ie=UTF8&qid=1361287973&sr=1-1

Year old pup is on Field & Trial Crunchy, 15kg lasts approx 2 months with her. Approx €23 a bag. She'll be moved to the Maintenance as well now in another few months.

Go onto the Skinners website to have a look at the ingredients. I add in tins of sardines etc every so often.

They also do a sensitive product.

I was only looking at the two of them this morning admiring their coats and how healthy they're looking (although that's probably down to the bath they had on Sunday after a muddy walk...)

I originally had the older dog on Royal Canin but didn't find it particularly good for the hefty price that it is! Someone put me on to Skinners and I haven't changed since. It's good and very affordable.
