What brand of food do you feed your dog?

Butchers loaf

fresh frozen foods (tripe,beef+rice etc)

Sunday dinner left overs

and there is always a bowl of bakers dry food down to eat if/when they want.

Why do you consider that good enough for your dog? This isn't a one upman ship question. Would you feed your kids (hypothetical question or not) the cheapest food you can get?

I'm with this guy. You should pay for your dog to go to dog university too. Think of his future.

I wouldn't touch Bakers with a barge pole:

Would you feed your dog a food which contains THIRTEEN E numbers?

Now, it's the law that dog food manufacturers have to state on their packaging for any bags over 10kg EVERY ingredient. They used to be able to say "EEC permitted colourants and preservatives". Now, here's the list in full:

BHA, E320
BHT, E321
Propyl Gallate, E310
Citric Acid, E330
Potassium Sorbate, E202
Propan -1,2-diol, E490
Iron Oxide, E172
Indigo Carmine, E132
Tartrazine, E102
Sunset Yellow, E110
Quinoline Yellow, E104
Titanium Dioxide, E171
Carbon Black, E153

In more detail:

E320 - has been found to be tumour-producing when fed to rats. In human studies it has been linked with urticaria, angioedema and asthma

E321 - banned for use in food in Japan, Romania, Sweden, and Australia. The US has barred it from being used in infant foods. So bad McNasty's have voluntarily eliminated it from their products.

E310 - Banned from children's foods in the US because it is thought to cause the blood disorder methemoglobinemia

E172 - Banned in Germany

E132 - Can cause skin sensitivity, a rash similar to nettle rash, itching, nausea, high blood pressure and breathing problems. One of the colours that the Hyperactive Children's Support Group recommends be eliminated from the diet of children.
Prohibited in Norway.

E102 - TARTRAZINE - A trial on 76 children diagnosed as hyperactive, showed that tartrazine provoked abnormal behaviour patterns in 79% of them

E110 - Sunset Yellow (E110) has been found to damage kidneys and adrenals when fed to laboratory rats. It has also been found to be carcinogenic when fed to animals

E104 - One of the colours that the Hyperactive Children's Support Group recommends be eliminated from the diet of children. Banned in Australia, Japan, Norway and the United States.

E171 - Banned in Germany

E153 - Banned as a food additive in the United States of America. Suspected as a carcinogenic agent."

Saves a fortune, is perfectly nutritious (the wife hasn't died yet) and is an environmentally friendly way of emptying your condoms. Near limitless supply means little Rosie never goes hungry. :)

E numbers are fine. They are approved additives with much scientific study backing them. A few poor quality studies saying they are harmful in rats and hysterical uneducated government officials banning them means nothing.

Wainwrights at the moment. Pedigree when he runs out and we've yet to go shopping. I don't think Pedigree is good for him but it's the only other food he'll eat. :(
