Take the HappyDog back to the shop if you haven't opened it already. It's like they took the formula for a good food and then added 5 crappy ingredients on top.of it. If you scratch off the first 5, it actually would be an OK good.... Buuutttt considering the first 5 ingredients it's basically a bag of flour.
Ingredients wise Eagle pack is a decent food that has been around for a long time. It does go through phases of being hard to find or unavaliable which makes me shy away from it (although I seem to remember they have changed the importer a couple of years ago and it has been more stable since then). Also price wise it is in a very precarious band at the very top of 'non-grain free foods' where you might actually save money in the long run by topping up a little more and going grain free (as a dog should eat less grain free food than they do the lower protein foods) or buying 2 brands and mixing (so take a bag of Eagle Pack and mix with a bag of something like Merrick grain free).
You could also consider something like NutriSource Lamb and Rice which is priced between HappyDog and Eagle Pack but has a similar makeup to EaglePack (I have been feeding NutrSource to boarding dogs/some of my own dogs for at least 3 years now and have found nothing that comes even close as far as quality for the money you pay).
Thank you for the detailed reply, Divas! Unfortunately this shop where I bought from offers a free repacking service so yeah I've opened the bag and they already repacked into smaller bags of 2kg each. Do you mind letting me know the prices for Nutrisource?Ingredients wise Eagle pack is a decent food that has been around for a long time.
