Frequently Asked Questions
"Why
is CSJ so low priced?"
Our aim has always been to be produce a premium quality, working
dog food at an affordable price. In order to achieve this aim
we ensure that the quality is inside the bag - i.e. in the food
and we keep our overheads at a minimum. Which is why you won't
find glossy CSJ advertisements, freebies or smooth talking salesmen/women
(!) - so whilst our packaging and advertising may be plain, you
can rest assured our food continuously strives to be the best.
"How
does the food compare with well known, premium quality brands?"
Our customers tell us that their dogs often prefer CSJ and that
our food lasts longer. They also comment on how easily their dogs
'change over'. In a recent taste test between CSJ and XX, "5
puppies out of 5 preferred CSJ"!
"Why
have I never heard of CSJ?"
By keeping our costs down we build our customer base through supporting
working dog activities and sporting events, as well as through
referrals from satisfied customers. We also keep our advertising
to a minimum and distribute our food via a network of dog owners
i.e people who understand dogs.
"What
rations do you feed your own dogs?"
All my dogs particularly love the Herbie Rings but I have a couple
that need a wheat gluten free diet so I mix either the Lamb or
the Chicken, Corn & Rice (GF) with the Rings - 50:50. My dad
feeds them That'll do! and the Herbie Rings.
"Which
CSJ food should I feed my new 10 week GSD pup? His breeder reared
him on a super premium brand of puppy food."
There are two schools of thought on what level protein should
be fed to pups/youngsters. Some people like to continue feeding
a high level (28 - 30%) until their youngster is almost 12 months.
I don't. Personally, I like to start my puppies off on a really
good quality puppy food (28 - 30%) but I start to reduce the protein
level at around 7 - 8 weeks down to around the 24 or even 21%.
This is because I don't want the youngsters to grow too fast too
quickly - their bones are still very soft and Border Collies especially,
are very active and can easily damage themselves. By keeping the
protein level down, the dogs appear to develop good bone, coats
and muscle without becoming too hyper. Speaking to other well-respected
breeders, I have found that they are of a like mind on this topic
- whether their dogs be spaniels or GSDs. What do you think?
"When
would you use the Rocket Fuel?"
I would suggest you only use the Rocket Fuel for extremely hard
working dogs such as working/racing lurchers, as a feed supplement
for bitches in whelp or to increase the protein level of your
dog's basic diet.
