Wainwrights

Hi all,

We kept our puppy on beta which the breeder adviced, we still have quarter of a bag left so I am going to keep him on that until it runs out, thing is I have read some bad stuff about beta so I am thinking of getting wainwrights next and was wondering if it's any good or the same as beta, also if I do change I read I have to do this slowly and was wondering how to do this,

Many thanks

Wainwrights is better than Beta and you should gradually change it over in the space of a week. I'm currently changing Zeus's food from Wainwrights to Fish4Puppies (not because theres anything wrong with Wainwrights but just because I personally think Fish4Puppies is a better food) and I am doing it over a week.

It's a good, mid-price food.

If you're going to change, I'd start now & gradually swap over from the Beta. Just slightly reduce the Beta & add a little Wainwrights, and gradually decrease one & increase the other.

Ah thnx for the replys,

Wainwrights is one of the better ones to choose from. Just gradually add a little of the new food to the old one and increase the amount of new food. Should take about a week to ten days to change over.

advice as above , I bought it for both f ours from the start puppy and adult and no problems , it's a very good food for the price , just changing over now to fish4dogs because its better , but a little more expensive and Tilly eventually got bored of her wainwrights and Tommy is following

Hi we are picking our pup up in two weeks and want to give him the best start and of course that includes his food, i have been reading with interest about fish4dogs and it sounds like very good stuff , i came across this as well http://www.chemistdirect.co.uk/fish-4-dogs-sos-salmon-oil_1_155128.html

Would adding this oil to a cheaper puppy food have the same effects ? or am i barking ( excuse the pun ) up the wrong tree .

I have used this with Zeus ever since I had him up (8 weeks) up until now (8 months) and he always gets complimented on how nice and shiny his coat is so its worth a go, but its not exactly going to make the cheaper puppy food any better.

I also use the oil and he has stopped scratching alot and he's coat is nice and shiny

Thanks Goldie

As above.

My 2 are on Wainwrights.
My latest pup was on beta and it is crappy food. Soon as we got him home I threw the bag in the bin that the breeder gave us and put him straight on Wainwrights n never looked bk x

Just been on fish 4 dogs site and have ordered Marley some of this food looks really good and a plus that i can have it delivered to my door!! My poor boy is currently on tinned food and well the smell coming from his bottom area is sooooo not sweet
