Feeding 3 dogs I find it less expensive giving chicken mince and add some of the other. Nutriment and Natural Instinct look good, and if I only had 1 dog I probably buy them.
What type are your 2 dogs?

Actually dogs with lots of allergies are mostly ok with any raw food.

Mine are fed in the kitchen which has a tiled floor. Or in the summer they're fed in the yard. And everything gets cleaned once they've finished.

I found that too. One of mind can't do processed or cooked chicken or turkey. Raw chicken and turkey cause zero issues.

Poor old Duncan couldn't have chicken, pork, beef or lamb he could just tolerate rabbit and venison and TBH I couldn't afford to feed him that everyday. He was fine I found on egg, potato and a few veg but anything else he was itching like mad.

No not raw but I would guess his allergy tests would have been done with raw foods ? I could be wrong they didn't actually state in the reams of results we got back whether it was or not.
I am not sure how they do allergy testing on dogs, I just know that lots of people who's dogs have allergies say that when switching to raw, the dogs were fine with eating those foods.

I have two long coat chihuahuas.
You can buy 1kg packs of the food rather than 500g, and it works out cheaper....

No but most pet dogs would die out in the wild, teeny Chihuahuas are not hardy enough to manage and would be prey for others and softies like my Mollie who love to cuddle rabbits would never be able to feed themselves and would starve.
Think it was scientifically proven only medium dogs could survive and only those who were good hunters would last longer than human food supplies as they would be unable to find enough to eat without us.

I have a large saluki x, a border collie x and a larger JRT, and need lots of food. Would definately buy the food you recommend if I had smaller dogs. My food bill for the dogs is quite high, we have 2 extra freezers out in the garage just for the dog food.
