“Of course, the most important thing is that the dog likes it. So, I never buy products that aren't suitable for my dog, or I rarely buy them. And I usually always give them sample portions to see if they like it. And yes, of course, price-performance and quality are always the most important things.”

“It means that the dog doesn't get bored of it. It just gives him a little bit more excitement rather than having the same thing every day. And also, I don't want to commit to buying say bulk of one flavor and then he doesn't like it. Similarly, if it's I'd like to have like a little bit of a taster of it all and and see how it goes.”

“So at the moment, he is on Edgar and Cooper. I love the packaging. I think the website's great. Plenty of different flavors. And, like I say, it's agreeing with him health wise. He really enjoys it.”

“So I would say with Amazon for this, it's because they have the Edgar and Cooper website there. So that makes it easier for me. So I can go on to here, and it can give me a full list of all the products that Edgar and Cooper have. Quite like the pictures. Let's got all the new and upcoming. Subscribe and save. So that to me is why I like shopping on here. Nice and easy. Splits into categories, adults, puppies, and all the different flavors are there.”

“For my Labrador, I shop in store and buy Arden Grange. But for my Cavalier and my Cavachon, they both get pitch and mop grain free food from Amazon, and they eat it all. They love it. And it's been a couple of years now that they've been on that food.”

“Our favorite brand at the moment is JOSERA. We used to have Tales and also, oh man, what was that called? Royal Canine. But that makes JOSERA our favorite. It's a German brand. The ingredients are reasonably high quality, with good test results. As I said, I thought the German supplier was a good price. And our dog often simply refused other high-quality foods. Now we use JOSERA Festival and have noticed that it's better; he eats it.”

“So I added this one. Let's click on it. It looks like a good pack. I like the pack size. I like the way it's packaged. The price is good. Lots of reviews. He does like turkey he does like a pate. So yeah, I think this is the one that I would go for. Also, like there's other flavors. I would like one that was maybe a mix of the flavors. It seems to be here, but it's more expensive and if there was one I didn't like, so it's like maybe like a trial pack if you will.”

“So, I've decided now. You can see these 24 cans of beef, the wet food, 24 x 400g. I clicked the button, it's displayed in the shopping cart over here, and I've definitely chosen Ritti, dog food and wet food, because I've had very good experiences with the company as a dog owner. They have various grain-free varieties. The 400-gram can is a decent size, and the 100 percent meat content is a sign of quality. The decisive factor is the fact that it's a mixed package. This way, my dog has the variety he needs, which I think is important.”

“Yes, above all, as they say, it's all about taste. There are just certain things that you like better before and after. That's really all.”
