Kennel food, ring own.

What type do they use? Or is best to bring Iza own food. My local kennel said they use chappie wet so not sure. Don't want her hooked on it going by some reviews.

My boy is on Chappie after searching for a food that doesn't give him really constant sloppy poops. Since he's been on Chappie wet his poops are firm (hooray) and he's a happy chappie (pardon the pun) looking gr8.

oh well i will buy him a can tomorrow and see if she likes it, thanks pal. Sh'es on butchers tripe mix the now but not as enjoying as much these days.

I would take her own food col

just with her not eating her own food as much im a bit concered and will be changing her to something else after she gets back was thinking wainrights trays.

The kennel might help u by introducing her new food mia got fed up with her beef food and changed her to chicken. I dnt know much about wainwrights but quite a few people use it here

Biscuit did really badly on chappie, her feet were red raw and she lost lots of weight (was on it when in kennels) but all dogs react differently to different food. It's basically just cereal and wheat, has derivatives of meat and vegetable ORIGIN lol!! http://www.allaboutdogfood.co.uk/dog-food-reviews/0175/chappie-adult-complete

I would bring her food with her so her stomach isn't upset. If you have the time and are thinking of switching I would do it before your trip

I wouldn't let Bo stay anywhere he couldn't eat his own food. It will be a cold day in Hell before he gets any of that supermarket rubbish down his hairy throat

go tomorrow j take some of her own.

Ours include Arden Grange kibble in the kennel fee but as we now feed raw Ledger goes with a batch of portions to cover his stay (defrosted for the first couple days worth and frozen if he's staying longer) I wondered if it would be an issue for them but apparently many of the cats they have staying are raw fed so they have more than enough freezer space

its only a few days, last time she stayed a night didnt eat as much, so hopefully she should be fine. she can eat dry if she fancies it esp the cats food ha ha

take a food they are used too. dont need anymore stres than they need so will prob go off it for a day or so anyway. switching food in that enviroment is a ticket to sloppy poop and dehydration

It's strange how one dog's food can be another's poison so to speak. Milo really has taken to Chappie, it's made his poops firmer, his coat is shiny and glossy, he's playful, active and looking great. I'm very pleased with it. My hubby is an ex police dog handler and they were all fed Chappie so it can't be that bad surely.

No, that just means that someone has chosen Chappie - they possibly get a good deal buying in bulk.

Yeah they would've bought in bulk but the dogs all did well on it and were extremely fit.

Bit late Col but I would have stuck to her own food, hope she is ok

better late than never hen
