No Sooner had the postman delivered our very tasty biscuits from the Beagle Bakery<\/a> but a big truck turned up with a nice man carrying a bag of food from Lathams.<\/p>\n

\"Buster<\/a>
Buster put his head straight into the packet<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

We were approached a few days ago to see if we would try out the Lathams light dry food and, with Buster being quite fussy with his food due to his kidney problem, we thought we should give it a go.<\/p>\n

Buster wasted little time in putting his head straight into the bag of food once mum had cut it open.<\/p>\n

The nice lady at Lathams even included a printed cotton shopping bag along with the food parcel- so mum can easily bring us home more from the town when we need some.<\/p>\n

Not too smelly<\/strong><\/p>\n

With the bag open we could get straight down to testing the new food. \u00a0The small, brown,\u00a0 shaped food bites easily fitted into our mouths making them easy to get chewing on.<\/p>\n

They were slightly firm but easily crumbled as we clenched down on them one at a time.<\/p>\n

Very surprisingly, Buster seemed to love the new food even though he is very picky at the moment and on a special renal diet….Mum had to keep a very close eye on him.<\/p>\n

It was not long before he had polished off quite a handful and mum had to close the packet so he didn’t keep going and make himself sick.<\/p>\n

Unusually for a dried food it did not smell too strong. Quite meaty in scent but not overpowering when you have your nose so close to a bowl full.<\/p>\n

Once Buster had had his fill I was allowed a few to try. \u00a0They seemed quite filling and as such not many were needed for me to feel quite contented.<\/p>\n

The light food is ideally designed for me, as I am a little, shall we say, comfortable, according to mum.<\/p>\n

Personally I put it down to having thick fluff and the remains of puppy fat.<\/p>\n

Other bags of food in the range include Adult and Adult Large breed, Puppy, Mature and sensitive.<\/p>\n

All of the Lathams food range is natural and hypoallergenic, rich in meat with none of those nasty artificial colours and preservatives which can make us sick.\u00a0 These dog foods are also free from wheat, soy, and dairy.<\/p>\n

The good ingredients include linseed oil, sugar beet, natural seaweed, alfalfa, chicory root, calcium and phophorus.<\/p>\n

The Lathams range has been specially developed in conjunction with Veterinarian David Helliwell MSc BVM+S MRCVS to offer a a balanced diet with all the nutrition we need.<\/p>\n

We are also pleased that Lathams is a British brand, being manufactured not far away from us in Yorkshire and you can now buy the range from selected Tesco stores.<\/p>\n

Bigger bags please.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Mum thinks the price is good too, as a premium dog food range, a 10Kg bag of Adult Large Breed comes in at a reasonable \u00a325.00.\u00a0 For economy reasons, and to save her running to the shops all the time, she would like to see the larger 10Kg bags available in the adult, mature, sensitive and light, but we are sure this will happen in time.<\/p>\n

To find out more about this yummy dog food, visit the Lathams<\/strong> <\/a>website.<\/p>\n

Until next time<\/p>\n

Charlie and Buster<\/p>\n
