OK, went to my vets office to buy my usual brand of dog kibble, which is Affinity Advance, but they only had 3 kilo bags available (which is a snack for my dogs). The only 15+ bag of food they had was Affinity Brekkies Excel.
The price difference was huge. I pay 54 euros (73 US dollars) for a 15 bag of Advance which lasts about three weeks. The Brekkies Excel was 25 euros (34 USD) for a 20 kilo bag.
I understand the quality can't be as good, is the other brand really worth the price difference? I have always fed Advance (once or twice when I couldn't get it, I have substituted for Hills) but is it really worth the money?
Here is the ingredient breakdown...
Brekkies (the cheap one)
Cereals (min. 5% rice), meats and animal byproducts (min 4% lamb and min. 5% chicken), vegetable origin byproducts, vegetable protein extracts, oils and fats, substance minerals.
Advance (the better quality)
Chicken (20%), rice (15%), dehydrated turkey protein, wheat, corn, corn flour gluten, animal fat (vitamin E stabilized), beet pulp, hydrolyzed animal protein, fish oil, dehydrated egg, yeast, potassium chloride, plasma-tic protein, salt, citric extracts rich in bioflavonoids.
OK, I had to translate the ingredients, so some of them might not be totally correct (IE potassium chloride and plasma-tic protein).
