chicken etc should be given as a treat say every week or 2 weeks. Bones i would not give at all except the nylabone type. We feed our dog on dry food and wet food in the evening and bicuits too.

It's quite normal for them not too eat as much of a good quality food (the Arden Grange would be better quality than the Beta), it would probably have a higher protein content and would be more filing.

sometimes you have to be tough on them. I know how hard it is to say no when they look at you etc

If he likes the chicken and the bones - why not move him onto a raw diet?

Google BARF diet for dogs and it will give you all the details you need.

Raw meat, veggies, bones, chicken wings etc - research into it.

I hope your not giving boiled chicken bones! bones should only be given RAW. Yes he can eat a raw diet my two are on a solely raw diet, no dry or wet food ever.

Have a look at these for more info

I had the same problem with Ellie when she stopped eating her dried food so i put a spoon of natural yoghurt mixed in. A little goes a long way and she wolfs it up.
