Looks good. I had my lot on Wainwright’s Fishmonger, it was meant to be sensitive but both had diarrhoea on it so we went back to raw. Could you not fancy that? DAF is good, loads of variety.

Puppy food (imo) is a bit fake news, the difference is often as small as 0.5-1% phosphate and of course the size of the kibble.

He's currently on Skinners Field and Trial Puppy, and although he looks a picture, his poos are a bit loose, and he's quite itchy. I got a sample of the above, which I've been using as training treats, and he absolutely loves it

Which one? The chicken gave Bertie hideous sh**s and earned him the name squirty Bertie.
I tried a small bag of the sensitive duck and rice and he’s infinitely better on it. Completely normal poo.
Ran out, tried the chicken and the problem returned within hours.

The Skinners? It's the chicken one, which he's been on since weaning. Will give the duck a try if no-one has great things to say about the stuff in the link above
 
I've not heard of that food on your link but was going to suggest try something other than chicken if is the chicken one it just doesn't agree with some dogs one of mine can get loose if fed too much of it.

I feed arden Grange salmon and rice kibble and a variety of wet food mainly Harringtons and naturo, I have been buying the odd tray of the Tesco complete and balanced range which is quite decent for the money abd they both love it.

Yea, same with us. The Duck had made a massive difference which seems silly, same brand and all.
The Duck is of course trickier to find….
 
I swapped mine on to Burgess sensitive turkey, my lurcher was on the puppy one and then once he was on the adult one I changed my terriers to the same, seems to suit all of them and on AADF site it scores 64% so not bad
 
Stirling Had lots of loose poop until we cut out chicken . The one that suits him best is Canagan lamb . I’ve tried other cheaper lamb puppy variants but he’s so much better on Canagan .
 
I always recommend Millies wolf heart. Skinners is ok, mid price mid range quality. It all comes down to what you want to spend.

90% sure this is made by a company called Golden Acres, it's a good food mine thrived on it as youngsters.
 
Looks better than most, worth a try. I would avoid chicken/salmon/beef if you can. Orijen is really good, but can be pricey. It must be balanced whatever you go for.
