any advice on dog food needed

i have 1 year old staffy girl who went off her food and so we have been feeding her chicken is this ok and if it is what else can i add with it to get all stuff she needs ive tried rice but she wont touch it

what was you feeding Lexi before?and is she having the chicken cooked or raw?

hi she was on wainwrights and chicken is cooked in oven

its whole chickens we buy from aldi she actually has diarrhea at moment so looking for advice incase im giving her a bad diet the only dog food she would eat was the cheap stuff like pedigree etc but been told its crap

Try puppy food? dogs normally love it, or wet food mixed in with dry?, I remember when I was 4 my mum looled after a labrador whilst her ownee went into hospital, it ate and drank ham and coca cola lmfaol wouldnt eat anything else!

if she has diarrhea at the moment i'd not feed for 24 hours and then give boiled chicken and brown rice as gentle on their tummies,sash is getting really picky with her food lately,age thing me thinks ,i boil some chicken and add a little in with her dry food,i also add sardines in with it instead of the chicken.dont forget if you change their food do it bit by bit as if you change it all at once that might upset their tummy too

ok thanks ill try boiled rice ill not feed her for 24 hours and also give sardines ago ..

make sure she has plenty of water to drink,i hope she feels better tomorrow

i will thanks stella and everyone

is it chicken for humans you are giving the dog? i wouldnt recomend it as it has a high salt content you should maybe try natures menu or something similar

Hi, moved your post to Staffy Dog Food.

Keep to a bland diet until the diarrhea has cleared up, plain chicken and rice would be great for settling the tummy but leave this for 24 hours as said above. Do you have any plain natural yogurt ? this is also good for upset tummies, just give a teaspoon or two to see how it goes.
