Chappie isnt a very good food to be honest but weirdly is supposed to be good for dogs with sensitive tums?! x

i would defo stick to what he's on now, chappie is cheap yes and it does show in the quality of the food im affraid x

A lot of rescues feed chappie because its cheap and suitable for dogs with sensitive stomachs. Its probably the best of all the economy budget brands.
I can't stand the smell of the tins though-fish slurry urgh! I mix a bit of the dry chappie with Romeo's james wellbeloved.

Yea your right i no alot of rescues (including mine) and kennels which feed chappie mainly beacause its cheap and yes because dogs with sensitive tums seem to get along with it. I would normally reccommend tho to buy the best u can in your buget, if thats chappie then fine but if u can afford better than buy it! x

It could be his food, or he may have accidentally peed on his bed, maybe when he was asleep? A male's pee smells SO much worse than a female's!

I'd wash his bedding with a biological washing powder, making sure that everything is rinsed really well (if necessary give it an extra machine rinse). If the smell persists, you may need to ask the vet to give him a little check, as it could be an infection.

i have cleaned the bed im going to the vets on tuesday so il get him checked thanks

yeh1 of my dogs is just out the vets , when i couldnt get her to eat and the vet could i asked what they were feeding her , and to my surprise they said chappie . which i did notice wasn't included in the bill ...... how nice of them lmao

My neighbour feed her staffy on it, he's 5 months the same as bruno and he hardly eats, personally i think it is because she is feeding him chappie but he also get fed on bakers puppy biscuit.And this is someone who suppose to know about all about staffy's as she had one before, personally i think she know nothing lol

But take a look at the link Janey has put up for you

I wouldnt feed chappie to my dogs as a complete diet, its not very good nurtitionally but it is very bland and I use it if one of mine has an upset stomach. Full of grain though.
