DRY FOOD HELP PLEASE

Hi all

Im new to here and need some help please. I have a 14mth old male Staffie named Buster, i have had him for 5mths. He is the first Staffie i have had iam used to Bernese Mountain Dogs and Labradors but always wanted a Staffie.

He can be very fussy with dry food but don't want to keep him on wet food. Iam looking for some suggestions for some dry food, I have also had a friend recommend a dog food called Pero which does food formulated for a few different breeds. Can anybody tell me if they have heard of it and if it is anygood:

Any help would be appreciated thank you.

i use it and swear by it if you go on at the minute buy the sample bag for a fiver and get a coupon for a fiver off your first order +you get a box of dog treats that they love

plus there delivery is super quick always next day but have ordered in the morning and had in the afternoon a few times

Hi Bigwazza

Thank you for the help, I live in Northern Ireland so i don't think i would get it same day lol thoe that is good speed.

I seen that about the sample offer and i take it you can you use the £5 off the big 12.5kg pack.

Cheers

I know when i had the Bernese Mountain Dogs we fed them on Eukanuba and soaked the food. I have been giving him sardines once a week with that due to the oils being good for his coat.

yes the coupon can only be used for the big bag
cant say for sure but i think they have agents in northern ireland so you may get a suprise with delivery time

Cool gonna go and order the trial pack then as don't wanna get the big pack and he wouldn't like it. looking at the website and peoples comments below it that buy Pero and it seems to have rave reviews and that is dogs that are very fussy too.

Thank you for the help Bigwazza this forum been reading throe the past couple of days and very insightful will be on here much more.

wondered how much i would need to feed him, i prefer to feed him in morning and in evening and a treat throe the day.

How many standard cupfuls would you say he would need in morning and at night?

i feed two and a half cups twice aday

Hi I changed Elllie from wet food to Royal Canin dry food -1 and a half cups (standard coffee mug size) twice per day with one sardine added every second day. I also give her a denta stick and a bakers treat each day-she seems to be thriving and is a perfect build -she gets two hours walking every day and a run in the garden

We have Leia on Wagg she loves it but is it nutritionally good for her ??
My other 2 dogs have been very healthy on Wagg but they were not staffys. Should i change the food for her any advice much appreciated i might even try the one suggested at the top.

Wagg isn't one of the better feeds, but it's nowhere near as bad as, say, Bakers!

Although I wouldn't feed it, if your dog likes it & is doing well on it, I probably wouldn't change.

Thanks caryll

Can you tell me if you get much dog waste using this food?

not a great deal not as much as with jwb or royle cannine

Think it maybe time to switch

I tried getting a sample of them and they were going to charge £15 delivery to Northern Ireland. So if you find any place stocks it here do please let me know.

I have a real fusspot and the only thing she will eat currently is Barking Heads. Though every time I think I've found something she likes it only lasts a week or so and she goes completely off it again.

hilsie, can i ask you where you got your dog from.

Yes Gary you can - breeder is from Banbridge - bit of a story as to how we got her! Someone bought her and after a week decided he didn't want her anymore. We kind of guessed it was because she was biting/nipping so badly plus she was locked in a utility room for 8-10hrs a day all alone. We hadn't really thought of a dog - it had been 20yrs since we last had one but a terrier was always our first choice. My partner got a call from a friend about the pup and we loved her from the second we saw her. We think of her as a 'rescue pup' can't imagine the life she would have had locked up all day long.

I see you have a red one too. I met a woman in the local park the other day also with a red bitch and she asked the same thing as she had to go to Bangor for one. I'm not sure about your area but red seems to be a rare colour around here.

Must get a more up to date pic she's 8 months now.

great news that you saved her, i bought mine from a guy in bangor and just thought about the age of yours they may be sisters.

I have switched Bella to Pero and have to say her waste has gone done to 2 maybe 3 per day, and no bad odours from her back end, plus she loves it, so I am very happy.

And they wondered why the poor creature was biting? She must have been bored out of her skull & so frustrated!
