change of foods HELP?

help plz first when i had y puppy just over a week a go now she was feed on weebox and a few biscuits which she enjoyed but when i took her to the vets for her first injection the vet said dont give her that weebox just give her dry puppy food with water to soften the bisuits up but her her poo has been slopy ever since she has 3 meals a day just an hand full one at 6 am one at 12 then 6 pm she doesent eat it lll at once so theres still some left in her bowl to go and keep picking it through the day but shes realy slopy which dont seem right its been like it since saturday the dry food im using is WAGG COMPLETE PUPPY please give me some advice thanks  

I'm glad the vet told you to take her of the weebox, but what they should have also told you is wagg is awful food full of additives and E numbers I'd get her of that straight away, here's a list of dry food recommendations :- http://staffy-bull-terrier.com/dry_food there is also wainwrights & James wellbeloved which aren't on the list but both are good mid priced foods. At her age darcy was fed the recommended amount 4 times a day 6am, 10am, 2pm, 6pm.

Great advise above, just make sure you change gradually over a week or two to avoid the upset tummy  

If she's loose from having Wagg anyway it might be just as well to switch her straight onto a decent food. Someone more experienced may elaborate on this but main thing is to get her off the Wagg as soon as possible. Have you considered raw? I switched ( cold turkey so to speak) a couple of weeks ago and can see the difference in condition already plus firm poos.

I would just do a straight swap tbh, shes not going to feel good on the wagg so a gradual swap won't do any good. I feed wainwrights.

hi all just been to my local pet stall and the vet was in stall i asked him whats the best food to feed my pup and he told me use k9 optimum its one or if not the best on the market at the moment so we will see

K9 Optimum isn't a bad food, but it has too much in the way of rice and maize for me. However, it's much much better than wagg or weebox.

Just as a point to note, at 9 weeks your pup should be getting 4 meals a day. At three months you can reduce to three and at 6 months to two. If a young pup is leaving a little food at each sitting then you're feeding too much.

ok thank you for your reply   

We tried a bag of K9 Optimum with Rocky recently as we couldn't get his regular food (Barking Heads). Rocky wasn't that impressed with it although it was the grain free version. We then had to trace a bag of his regular food online.

James Welbeloved would be a better choice as it is easily available from most pet shops and is reasonably priced too.

In a recent "WHICH" test, Eden came out top of dried complete foods. I've used it and although it appears at first glance to be expensive, because of the quality you can feed less. It's 80% protein, holistic and hypoallergenic. Before I switched to BARF I was able to feed Bacchus ( on my avatar ), who is 20 kilos, for about 90p per day. It's worth a look if you can stretch to it.
