Eating habits

Hi I have a english cross american staffy. recently she had a stomach ulcer all good now but has become very fussy with her food. will not touch dry or wet dog food tried all different varities. all she will eat is chicken necks i suppose she is eating something. is she getting enough nutrician out of the necks. Angel is 5 months old. Thankyou.

Hi, moved your post to diet and nutrition    No she won't be getting everything she needs from chicken necks, far too much bone on their own. Are you wanting to continue with raw or looking for ideas with dry food?

lookin for any food ideas. Thanks

I feed raw so may be the way to go if she's eating the chicken necks, have a read of these   And have a look in the raw food forum

Or these are our recommended dry foods, you can add a raw egg or some tinned sardines to make it more appealing

Definitely not getting enough from chicken necks, I feed Zeus raw too and he gets alot of mince, with added supplements such as turmeric, salmon oil, apple cider vinegar, coconut oil, herbs (mint,rosemary, basil) and also the odd bone now and then.

I'm also going to purchase a thing called 'Pet Plus' which is a powder you put in the food that gives them any nutrients/vitamins they may miss through a raw diet.

She definately needs more variation in her diet and as a 5 month old puppy will need more than an adult to help her grow. Sazzle's post is great We also feed raw and Bane is loving it.
