What do we feed.....

[Sheebs]

Hiya

What do we all feed our burbabies on...................Can anyone point me in the direction of a dog food suitable for a fussy little girl who is prone to the runs.

We've tried allsorts, for the first few months it was roast chicken and boiled rice, we then moved to Royal Canin puppy (made her itch), Eukanuba (didn't like), Supadog (got bored of.......unless I put tuna, sardines etc with), James Wellbeloved (absolutely not impressed......not even with bribery).

Royal canin sensative is the only one where we could get 'pick up poo' (sorry if anyone is eating). The vet suggests we go back to this and add Chappie occasionally.

All ideas welcome...........I will post some photos so that you can see the trouble causer in all her glory!

I feed my two on Wagg. Its cheap and cheerful. Jack tends to suffer runs with different foods, we cannot use tinned meat at all. I always look for the dry foods that have different textures and bits in to keep him interested with the twice weekly treat of sardines, pilchards, tuna etc.

Im not saying it would work for Sheebs but it works for us, granted Jack aint so good at the moment but its not to do with food! He and Tess have not long licked their bowls clean after their treat of pilchards in tomato sauce mixed in with Wagg!!!!

I have changed from wellbeloved to hills science plan and have so noticed the difference in his stools..........lol I do not mind picking the turds up since the swap !

I also give a frozen pig pancreas ever other day(frozen cos is so smells raw).....,this is a just incase because my dog has a littermate with epi....................better to be safe than sorry

Ok that was very informative (especially for a saturday night!!) I had never heard of EPI before but atleast I know what to look for.

Do you feed as preventative?

How old is your pup and how many meals a day are you giving, overloading the gut with large meals will cause loose bowels.
