anyone feed fish 4 dogs?

Ive decided too feed stanon fish 4 dogs because he has skin issues/baldness and the other hypo allergenic foods ive tried dont seem too be helping much they were at the lower price range thou.
Just wanting peoples opinions on fish 4 dogs ive seen its got good reviews but anyone actually feed it and think its a great food or have i wasted my money lol.

I know Janey uses this foods and highly recommends it. I think Steve now feeds his dogs on it too.

Just in the process of starting Tilly on it now and throwing a bit in with Tommy's food to get him used to it , just for the last week though

It is a good food, it sorted out Moo's diarrhea which had been really bad and now her poos are firm, but she has got bored of it, rarely eats breakfast and I have to add stuff to it in the evenings to get her to finish.

So honestly yes its good, Moo is in amazing shape and her coat is fab, but I think like all kibble, they get bored of it, or that could be because I have a fussy dog!

I should add she has been on it for over a year and has only gone off it in the past few weeks

Thanks guys.

Haha janey, no chance of stan going off it hes a pig lol, i do add food veg and cooked prize choice meat well fish for stan too their food.

Hopefully it will all be fine then xx

I have had Buster and Lulu on it for a couple of months now. Buster is doing great on it, and it has done wonders for Lulu's skin - no dry patches or spots or anything since changing. Sometimes Buster doesn't want his, but I think that is down to him rather than bordom, he only ever misses one meal. Lulu never misses any. Lol

I'm interested in this as Lola sometimes gets picky and it might be boredom - seems to more than one sample on offer. Which one would you suggest ordering?

Email them & ask for advice. Mention the forum!

Im thinking of trying Cairo on it,just looking on their website now

If you have any questions, give them a ring - they're very helpful.

Im looking at getting the Adult 'Dogs for the Disabled' Goody Bag

I switched over to it a couple mths back for Max to try and ease his stomach churning and wind ..... it worked

He had always been on JWB, but the F4D is very similar in nutrition etc without the side effects

Just a shame i cant find a store that stocks it, tinterweb order only ... but thats no biggy really

I've decided i'm going to try fish4puppies as Zeus's skin is getting dry and developing patches, so hopefully this food can sort it out! Would you go for the small bite or large bite? And isn't it odd that you can get the food cheaper off other websites, but its much more dearer on their own website?

Personally I'd go for the large bite, but I suppose it depends on what your dog is used to.

It's more expensive on their own site because they probably have higher overheads to pay - staff, production costs etc. Plus they are always available on the phone/email for good advice when you need it!

The food that hes on right now (wainwrights dry) have really small pieces, and he tends not to bite them, he just swallows it whole! So I'm thinking large bite would be better too as he'd chew them?

By the way, the cheapest I found a 12kg bag of Fish4Puppies large bite is on petshopbowl.co.uk.

Its £41.99 and then if you enter discount code "BARKABOUTUS", you'll get an extra 5% off giving you a total of £39.89 including delivery

That's a good price!

Definatly..beats £60 quid anyway!

I used pre made raw packaged tripe and makaral with vegetables as feed. Dogs loved it. I almost lost my stomach a few times from the smell. Takes some getting use to

I would deffo recommend Fish4Dogs as both my girls LOVE it... Inca's on the adult finest fish kibble which i add a touch of warm water to for her tea which makes a thin gravy juice for her which she loves... and Sky is on the puppy kibble which she loves and i also add a touch of warm water to it for her tea aswell..
Both bowls are always licked clean..

Oh and onyx is now on the 6 fish orijen

I switched Taz over to it last year, she ate 35 kg happily (not all at once) ... the improvement of her tone and fur was outstanding, no paw chewing, and of course - no wind, eager meal times and no brown patch on the bottom of her jaw from wheat staining! I did prefer the larger bite kibble for her though as the smaller kibble was wolfed down quicker without chewing..

I have already made the commitment to switch to raw so did not purchase anymore. chemist direct online I think is the cheapest.

Just bought a few bags of fishy treats off them, the new sea wraps with sweet potato (had them before - Dempsey loves them) & the brand new Sea Hide, plus some twists & training treats.

All a bit pricey, but good ingredients and he likes them all, so money well spent.

After Debo's long history of diarrhea we're trying f4ds now. We still mixing it with rice and chicken but I think it works. No winds,poo is firm and small so I think will stay with it.

I`ve only heard good things about F4D If I decide to go commercial its defo the one I would choose

I am currently changing my dog over from arden grange to f4d, he loves it. I get mine through the vets I work at, so you could see if the vets you use can get it from their wholesalers.

You may fine it cheaper on the net, I use www.chemistdirect.co.uk it has just gone up and is £40 for 12.5kg

i've just got a quick question about F4D.. Zeus is currently on wainwrights dry and I feed him a daily amount of around 300g, looking at the F4D daily guideline, I have to feed 425g, why is this? I would have thought F4D having better ingredients, it would be the other way round?

i only give my 240g of fish4dogs

Apologies mate, Zeus is on Fish4Puppies.

He weighs just under 18kg and according to their daily feeding guide it says:

Weight in kilos (kgs) 3-11 weeks 12-26 weeks 6-8 months 9-12 months 12 months
15 - 20 440 - 545 415 - 515 340 - 425 280 - 350 235 - 300

Is the Wainwrights for adults or puppies?

Its for puppies too

Maybe the 'changeover' in ages differs from brand to brand?

Yes possibly, think I might phone them and ask

Tbh, though, they are only guidelines & every dog is different. If the dog's getting a bit porky, then reduce the amount & vice versa.

What amongst you is the flavour of choice - salmon, white or sardine? Still debating for Lola....

White for us , but when we had all the samples they loved em all

Don't feed f4d but the boys ADORE their treats!
