Which dried food do you recommend?

[Tedsmum]

Hi all, my 6 month old boy has two problems when it comes to food. He has a very delicate tum so not everything suits him and I need to introduce new food very, very gradually so as not to upset him. This is fine but for the fact I cannot find a dried food that he will eat. He eats some for a few meals and then will just go hungry rather than take it. He eats tinned food and mixer very well but it is expensive and I would like to get him on dried if I can.
He is not a hungry dog generally and drops weight quickly when he doesn't eat.
What is a good quality, highly palatable and gentle on the tummy dried food in your experience please?

If money isnt an issue then I would highly reccomend Orijen regional red which is what I feed my girl, its also fit for human consumption although I havent tried it, LOL.

Mine are fed on Arden Grange and love it, I feed the lamb and rice.

Defiantely Orijen
And I sell it

Mine is a fussy eater with a constant funny tummy. She is on Orijen 6 Fish, because she's allergic to everything. It seems expensive (at around £60,00 per month), but it saves a fortune on vet bills, so it is worth a try.

i too was using arden grange large breed when skye was i pup.. i changed to the other pup one they have light blue bag.. as i found out the breeder had been using it instead so i decided to give it a try.. after a fews weeks the poos where soft and smelly all the time..i change back to the ag large..same still soft poos... couldn't understand why... so eventually i slowly changed over to royal canin maxi junior which is great for him..luna also... the stools are firm and small!!

can't really say as mine gone ROYAL CAINNE to raw Science hills for storm and i even bought a 15kg of wainwright puppy for Odin to try and he wouldn't touch it.

Hi Tedsmum , Ihad the same problem with my new chap , Bair my 12 yr old girl has been on Royal Canin for years and could easily pass for a 7 yr old , so I wanted Mowgli to have that , off I went excited that they did a special german shepherd puppy food ( sucker for a gimmick ) but reading into it all it seemed perfect for the little chap .....wouldnt eat it !! I tried mixing all sorts of things with it , but he has NEVER asked me for his dinner and would just pick at everything , he was growing so fast and losing more and more weight , in my desperation I kept the RC the same but changed what I put with it probably every day in a desperate attempt to get him to eat , lots will frown at this and i know it wasnt the best thing to do but he needed to eat , the things i found most succesful were porridge and grated cheese mixed well in , this again would last for a week at a time before he decided he didnt want it !! All that changed 2 months ago when my vet suggested Bair have some fish in her diet for protein as her old kidneys were struggling a bit , out came the sardines in sunflower oil ! Both dogs have eaten this mixed with their royal canin twice per day for 2 months now , Mowgli squeaks for his tea now and wolfs it down !! his poos are proper ones now instead of little hard nuggets and there coats are amazing ( cos of the oil i guess ) the old girls mobility is better too and her small problem of leaving a litle damp patch where she lays has gone ! The best bit ?? My 9 month old puppy weighed in at the vets today as 44kg !!!!! yes thats huge he is a big lad but he is still lean looking and perfect weight for his build and size Good Luck
