Food 4 Thought
Premium Quality Canine Feeds
Why Choose CSJ?
Manufactured in the UK exclusively for international sheepdog trialist, Ceri Rundle, CSJ is now the choice of some of the most successful dog handlers throughout the UK and overseas.
Using only top quality ingredients, the extensive range of CSJ has been developed to meet the specific needs of dogs of all ages - from conception right through to 'retirement'.
Rich in real chicken or lamb Contains no soya
Contains no GM ingredients
Energy dense nutrition
Highly palatable and digestible
Little waste - No smell!
By working closely in conjunction with many well-known breeders, trials competitors, gun dog trainers, large kennel owners and show-bench exhibitors the food is continuously being monitored and developed. One owner writes "…I am delighted with the results. The dogs' general health has improved to excellence and shows in their alertness, bright eyes and gleaming coats."
Future CSJ fed champions?
By striving to be the best we will ensure CSJ continues to 'Stay ahead of the Competition' to play a major role in the development of future champions.

Ceri and dogs
" We have 6 Border Collies that compete in agility competitions throughout the country, so our priority is for them to be extremely fit and active. That is why we have always fed them on one of the top 'premium' dog foods. We were very reluctant to try CSJ because we thought that due to the price of CSJ it couldn't compare anywhere close to our 'premium' food. After much persuasion from friends we decided to give CSJ a try and have genuinely never looked back. Apart from the obvious benefits of the price - a third of the cost of our 'premium' meaning we can afford to keep more dogs(!), the best thing is there has actually been an improvement in the dogs' performance: Our youngest dog, Fluke, has qualified twice in a high competing final. And their skin, coat, eyes and teeth have never been so good. We will continue to use CSJ on any future dogs we have and highly recommend it."

" Having had a skin problem with one of my dogs I tried CSJ dog food. The continual scratching stopped and he stopped mutilating himself, the skin and coat improved and this year he went on to win BOB at Crufts! That'll do for me!
I had trouble keeping weight on my young bitches and tried them on the CSJ Herbie Rings. What a difference! Their coats shine and they feel full of energy.
My brood bitch, Cachet, had a disastrous time and lost all but one of her pups. I entered her for Crufts but didn't think she would be showable. I gave her the Herbie Rings and was amazed at the results. She had a 2nd in Open Bitch.
I have also used CSJ Puppy to rear a litter and they loved it. I have recommended it to friends who had had problems getting their pups to eat properly. Bonvivant Belgian Shepherds recommend CSJ - A Winning Combination!"

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.
