What to feed resting gundog

[Flowerofthefen]

What biscuits would you recommend to feed a resting gundog. It would be ideal if my parsons could eat them as well. Most biscuits I've looked at give wheat or maize as their first main ingredient. Both dogs are quite sensitive as well. Thanks for any suggestions.

There are quite a few non maize or wheat options these day, I thought.
Pero do a gluten free chicken or lamb, and Wafcol is grain and cereal free.

Assuming you want to feed less protein now the season has ended what have you been feeding until now?

Yes trying to find something low protein without lot of cereal. Most ingredients start with wheat or maize. She is on Dr John's titanium. Ideally looking for something little dog can have as well. OH chose Dr johns but looking at the ingredients it's not much better than others I've dismissed!! Did wonder about field and trial maintenance?

Thank you, will investigate.

Many options out there - any of the Redmills Engage or Skinners Field and Trial in the Duck/Rice would work.

Field and Trial maintenance is wheat based. We do feed their duck and rice or salmon and rice, but are now feeding Essentials, which we buy a bulk through so cheaper.

 

[Clodagh]

Essentials is much more expensive than skinners though, even the better ones.
First you need to decide what you want to spend, imo.

If you want to stick with dr johns could you go for a lower protein option? Think they do a grain free option too

Millies Wolfheart is grain free, you can chat with their nutritionist.

The all about dog food website is very interesting. It tells you all sorts of things you might not know including the analysis of content. Some surprising information and a good variety of prices.
