Belle has been on Hills dried science plan, medium chicken for puppies since we've had her from 8weeks old and has had no problems with it at all.
Since having her spayed thou she has got really fussy with it and will only eat if we add mackerel or sardines to it?!!! (She went nearly 3 days not eating her food!)
Can any one recommended a dried food that would be beneficial to her and also that she would enjoy? Also when is it advisable to change her to adult food?
There was a pero SBT dried food when I googled it but not sure if this is any good?!
Thanks Karen and Belle xxx

Here's our list of dried ood recommendations

http://staffy-bull-terrier.com/dry_food

Personally I feed Wainwrights from PAH and they enjoy it , also a few different flavours to choose from . As far as puppy food to adult then go by the manufacturers recommendations , it's mostly about kibble size and different protein contents . I did switch Tommy onto adult at 6 months (recommended at 12 months for the food at the time) but as we have the 2 and they were both nicking each others food it was the way to go for us , Tommy certainly hasn't took any hurt for it

Hi i work in pet retail. Its a year usually you move onto adult food.
My puppy gets james wellbeloved which is good as it comes in a variety of flavours and is a good hypoallergenic food. Also if fish is a fav the fish for dogs and wafcol etc do fish based diets.

Pets at Home also do their own fish based food - Fishmongers Finest.
