We give Tilly the Wainwrights from Pets at Home , we were told the Bakers is rubbish as it doesn't have all the goodness in it . There are 3 different flavours I think and she got along with it fine , just gone onto the big girls Wainwrights now and she is fine. We do cheat a bit and Tilly gets a Sunday Dinner with us , bit of toast in the morning and a few other treats but she knows her base food is the Wainwrights , it's just for a bit of variation

Wainrights is quite a good dry food at a reasonable price. Whether your pup'll like it or not, though, only trial & error will find out!

If you're feeding a dry complete food you don't need to add meat or anything else to it.

bakers is suposed to be full of aditives like e numbers it has the same affect as giving a child lots of sugar bouncing off the walls for hours on end. our last dog was fed bakers and training was hard to say he was a GS so when we mentioned it to the trianer he said change his ffod and told us about the bakers being crap and we did the change in his behaviour was amazing. lemmy never gets it and he has been easy to train and is good really (pain some times but arent they all) we feed him pedigree but he does get other stuff as a treat. tomorrow is a nice full english brekky for us so he will get saucage as a treat

After reading lots of stuff on feeding staffys I felt quite bad that we give Tilly treats , pleased to see we are not the only ones. She's our baby and with moderation can have a share at our stuff , so odd dinners , toast , weetabix on occasions and I have to confess she is a bit of a sweetie fiend and is partial to the odd gummi bear but its more for the entertainment value in watching her eat them than anything else and whilst I have the gummi bears in my hand I have total power

the biggest problem I had was to find somethig readily available as the most important is to wean them off what they are on and introduce them to the new stuff .. you must never just chop and change . We looked at Iams then the pet shop stopped selling it and it would be Eukanuba and this is different though from the same group. Cost to me was irrelevant . That s why we went to pets at home because they are all over , so if we had gone on holiday and ran out of food or forgot it , we knew we could easily get it .

If you can get it locally James Wellbeloved is excellent.

Hi thankyou everyone for all your great advice...I'm goin to persevere with lots of trial and error and see if there's one she likes. Think a trip to pets at home 2moro is on the cards it seems to be the best place to go

all pups are different kya is tiny and eats like a horse and billy is like a bull butas a pup was fussy

Wainrights is a good allrounder and I read it was recommended as a good dry food at a reasonable price. If Lipsy will eat it you cant go wrong. Spartan loves it(unless he's getting spoilt by the girlfriends home cooking! )!!
