dry food

Could someone recommend a healthy dry food. Miley when in the rescue centre was fed on canned meat but she doesnt like it much. She likes bakers moist chunks just tried her on them but dont want her to have these all the time. Just bought a small box as was worried she wasnt eating much. Usually as soon as her food gets puts down she would eat it but the past few days she just sniffs it and walks away. She does however return to have nibbles of it and by bedtime its usually gone. This makes us think she is not keen on it anymore.

I feed Tinker raw meat and tripe from P@H frozen or Fish 4 Dogs pates with a good wheat-free complete just for some texture really. I think all complete would soon get boring and perhaps Miley would like a bit of variety.

Fish for dogs is usually really palatable for dogs who are bit more fussy. Bakers...try to stay away from them!

Also, you should not leave it down, this means she will only pick at it instead of eat it. This means shes more likely to not have regular poos.

ok ill ditch the bakers and try some fish meat etc. Also try a variety like suggested

Thanks

Just to clarify, fish 4 dogs is dry kibble not fish meat..you shouldnt give too much fish meat its very oily

Anything from the list below would be OK to feed your dog, Rocky has Barking Heads which he loves:

don't worry about using the moist meaty chunks at the minute (don't waste them)
bakers is in no way good but meaty chunks arnt the worst thing in the world coplete food with all the additives is a no no
dr johns silver is another one iv heard of thats ment to be good and at a good price

Jolleys sell the Barking Heads and Burns

Amazon have the Fish4Dogs

Pets at Home do most of the others

Hope this helps

Thanks will give them a go when we run out of food. Does anyone give biscuits too as a treat ?

We have used Rockys kibble as treats while out for walks.

I can reccomrnded pets at home 'Wainwrights salmon n potatoe complete'

I feed 50/50 dry/raw

My 2 love it ! I usually give it with a raw egg or carrots or yogurt, they dont eat the dry on it's own. Not because they won't, but because I Just add to it.


For treats, my 2 love chopped savaloy sausage or hot dogs (in moderation)!

we have a pets at home superstore not far away. Ive been a few times for toys ill keep a look out for it thanks

anyone ever heard of evo wet dog food?

ok so ive just got some orijen dry food and some tins of wainrights canned food. She wouldnt touch the dry stuff but loves the tinned. I guess she can have tinned supplemented with a mixer. Anyone suggest a decent mixer to go with her tins?
thanks

I would go Wainwrights dry complete with a spoon or two of the wet, too wean her slowly onto the dry, which in the long run is better for teeth.

At the end of the day she won't let herself starve, so u mustn't let her get too picky.

Wainwrights dry, with raw egg us yum.
Wainwrights dry, with mashed carrot and a spoon of gravy is yum !
Dry with natural yogurt
Dry with sardines

Lots of variations that no dog can turn it's nose up at ! Xx

Ok will do that thanks
