We have a 13-week old mongrel – technically a labradoodle, but a mix of two types of labradoodle, so not sure she's fooling anyone.
Anyway, she came with AVA, which she enjoyed, when this ran out quicker than we realised, I grabbed some Lily's Kitchen as it was the best option late night in Sainsbury's.
All our cats have had Hills Science plan and lived long and healthy lives, so when the LK started to run out, got a 14kg bag of Hills puppy instead.
We had noticed the LK lead to much more "pleasant" poops, firmer, less stinky… and the pup LOVED it. She's not remotely fussed about the Hills, not to the extent of starving herself, but definitely not eating as much as she should – where she would wolf down LK for breakfast, she'll leave the Hills down for most of the day.
So considered going back to LK, but the general view is it's not that good for them, or at best, the science is lacking.
It's also mentally expensive? The biggest bag is 7kg, and £48 is the cheapest I can find it.
Hills – which is considered pricey by some – is £52 for 14kg – so half the price pound-for-pound of LK.
BUT according to the details on LK's website and the back of the Hills bag, a 7kg bag will last 4 DAYS, vs 63 days for Hills?!
We love our puppy, but that's financially mad.
Am I missing something, or is LK insanely expensive? Is this why the pup loves it?
