review - Laughing Dog Complete Food
 Laughing
Dog Complete food is a little different to the majority of foods,
in that it is manufactured using a slower oven bake method rather
than a high temperature extrusion process. They claim that this
'retains more of the goodness and taste of the nutritious and delicious
natural ingredients, meaning nothing artificial needs to be added.'
Fold Hill Foods, who make the product are based in Lincolnshire
and are a family owned business that has been making pet food for
over 30 years.
I'm not sure whether there is any scientific basis for the ascertion
that oven baking gives a more nutritious product. Also, I would
be interested to know why, in their chicken recipe they include
pork (and wierdly call it Porcine meal!).
Laughing Dog is also based around Barley as a cereal rather than
the usual rice, and its 25% protein is higher than many for an adult
food (Burns is 18%) but there's a lot of thought gone into choosing
the ingredients, and it's a much more interesting option than many
foods at similar prices.
At around £40 for a 15kg bag it's a tad cheaper than Burns
and James Wellbeloved at RRP, so Laughing Dog is worth considering
if you're looking for a natural food. If price is a consideration
then check oput our Best Value
