mixed food

hi all my MAX have now 6 months..is very healthy dog but i change is dry food firt time i buy to him Purina beta for puppy i was mixed with wet food was eating like a vacuum ),,but since when i buy Arden grange he eat just a little..sometimes i give to him chicken boiled meat and bones..maybe will be better not to give him nothing but dry food..i think he is waiting all the time only chicken:)..thx all

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.

i am sure have a high protein Arden grange then the beta but if i put to him his bowl only with dry food he is not eating..yours dogs did not do like my MAX??maybe is to spoiled ??

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

""sometimes you have to be tough on them. I know how hard it is to say no when they look at you etc"""
his looking all the time in my eyes when i eat:)sometimes i give to him a little bit to taste what i eat...and when i give him dry food his turning his back and leave...then my wife put in dry food wet food go after him put him back to his food and we stay with him to eat:)we have two dogs we cant let their bowls on the floor all the time and MAX want to eat form SASHA bowl...and SASHA from his bowl...crazy dogs:)))

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

to give to him only chicken without dry food??and you said to give him raw chicken not boiled??

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

My Koda has mixed meals Raw (no cooked bones at all) and dry .. she loves a chicken leg. drumstick thigh wings mince hearts local butcher does meaty bones ribs tongue ... i keep and eye on her with bones tho.. i raid the reduced section of meat n stuff in evenings and freeze.. Kodas got a nice little drawer going on ... lol.. oh and she loves a fresh pigs trotter

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.
