Autarky

Autarky
Reader's Rating five
I have three dogs, all different ages and breeds. They have always been fed on Burns. I did a lot of research on Autarky and decided to give it a try. I am so glad I did. It has stopped my five year old's anal gland problem and I have a French Bulldog that is nearly two. She has always moulted really bad but within five weeks of being on Autarky it has completely stopped and her coat is so soft and shiny. I am so amazed at the improvement. The dogs love the taste and don't leave anything. It's brilliant. It's so nice to be able to wear black in the house now as we couldn't before as we would always be covered in white hair. I am truly greatful for this food and will not be changing it again. I would seriously recommend this food to all dog owners. It simply is the best.

I have feed my Lab who's two who loves it. Recommended by my dog trainer for all her dogs. You can buy it from Costco for £12 a 15kg bag. Very cheap for a top brand.

My Lab has a severe gluten/wheat allergy and was previously on a more expensive appropriate brand (the green dog) was very happy with said product however saw Autarky which claimed to be suitable and decided to try it out. Within 2 weeks my dogs skin has become flaky, he has an ear infection, an itchy anus, and lots of strong gases. Took him to the vet today who advised to return to previous brand. You may say "well why change in the first place" I agree. Disappointed but appreciate my dogs allergy is a severe reaction and some products can claim to be gluten free if below a certain level. Maybe this be the case?

This food is brilliant, dogs are looking well and what comes out the other end is firm and clean. As good as Burns but at a fraction of the price, I am very very happy with this natural food, no additives to make them hyper.

This is really brilliant dog food. On recommendation I changed my two golden retriever on to it. One is 14 the other 3 years old. Their coats have improved as has there overall condition. They enjoy ever crum and the health of my older retriever has so improved, she bounces about and now enjoys playing with the more energetic 3yr old. The best find of the centuary. My dogs have never been as happy or looked as good.

My 2 labs have been on this for about 5-6 months. My oldest one has a really sensitive stomach and puts weight on easily and the youngest one is from working stock, will eat anything and doesn't keep weight on at all so finding a food to suit both was tricky. I put them both onto Autarky and they have been fine. The only thing I will say was that the transition between foods was a nightmare. I expected the runny stools for about a week but theirs went on for about 2 weeks and I was seriously considering changing them back but overnight they went hard again! Haven't looked back!

I have two very very active staffordshire bull terriers and have fed them autarky for the past year and im very impressed, not only is it cheaper its got good natural ingrediants, paying more does not mean better quality, both my dogs are in tip top condition, healthy skin, fur like touching silk, no bad breath or bum smells, they are full of energy.

I have been feeding my dogs Autarky for 4 months now after my original choice food was no longer supplied in the UK. My dogs love the taste and don't waste any time eating it. Their coats are shiny and sleek. The food has helped immensely with previous hyperactive behaviour and their bowel movements have improved also. They don't have any 'smelly' flatulence either. I would recommend this food to all.

We have found this food to be excelent for both our gsd's. We have a 15 year old and a 4 year old and the mature lite does them both really well. It is obviously tasty as we never have left overs and they sometimes ask for seconds !! which we do end up giving them half a hand full (just to say well done for eating all their dinner up!!). It is the most naturally tasty food we have found with nothing else added, is very gentle on the stomach and also good for fussy eaters.

Autarky is sold as 'working' dog food for active canines and Iagree with this claim. I have a Bullmastiff who is extremely active so keeping weight on him can be a struggle. I tried Burns, JWB and Arden Grange, but they all made him far too lean and I wasnt happy about increasing the amount just to get his weight up. Autarky on the other hand has made him fill out perfectly with no excess fat and he has loads of energy. His stools are small, has no bad wind and genuinly enjoys his food. Because Autarky is working dog food it is VAT free so is far cheaper than its competitors! Expect to pay around £15 for a 15kgs sack.
