Jollyes have discontinued the low-protein fish and rice brand that despite being utter mulch and cheap as chips, B was doing really well on, ARGH!!!!

NEXT?

What about Wainwrights? What's it like? Would Jollyes Lifestage be much different to the own brand stuff?
James Wellbeloved is a NO NO.


If it's not one thing, it's another

Thanks for any advice. Must be low-protein and fish based.

Is the Skinners hypoallergenic fish based one any good?

I think its salmon - I think Hen has it for Otto.

 

[CorvusCorax]

Trying to keep him under 20pc protein, but thanks!
Skinners may have set him off last time.

Don't know how much your Jolley's one was but our lot do well on this, even the fussy eaters.

 

[CorvusCorax]

Cheers HB, still a little on the high protein side and I don't know if they deliver here but will check it out, need something before the weekend but again, many thanks x

Have you tried Wagg wheat free? its chicken and rice not fish but i had a boxer with ulcerative colitis who managed on it.....

 

[dingle12]

Is this any good ?? http://www.feedem.co.uk/dog-2/dog-food-dry-18/wagg-42/wagg-foods-complete-sensitive-13101.htm MIL lurcher has really bad runs after any food but this has sorted him out

 

[harkback]

Gelert do a fish and rice but again it is 21% protein. The rep dropped by here last week trying to sell me a pallet load, it certainly was cheap.

Do Red Mills do a fish based one? At least they are on the same side of the Irish Sea as yourself. My Irish friends swear by their dog food.

 

[CorvusCorax]

Cheers all, will have a look at those, off to shops now!

 

[dingle12]

Sorry just seen you want fish based

 

[Vizslak]

Burns do a fish and brown rice, it's low protein 18.5%.

 

[Spudlet]

Skinners do maintenance food as well as working dog food, is that lower protein?

 

[jendie]

Burns do a fish and brown rice that is 18.5 per cent protein. Not cheap though

 

[galaxy]

Feed my dog Burns, it's cheaper off the internet (£38 a bag compared to £45 in store), the bags are 15kg and you feed less qunatity than other brands (I did a lot of research!). My boy's doing really well on it.

 

[CAYLA]

Skinners do a good wide range, but the few I looked at where very high in protein.....some may be lower though.

 

[CorvusCorax]

Hi guys, thanks for all your suggestions, went to Pets at Home, everything was either protein through the ceiling or price through the ceiling!
Gonna hit Jollyes tomorrow with a clearer head (I was only on the phone to them today) then hit smaller shops if that is unsuccessful.

I can't believe I am having to change him again!!!

 

[Spudlet]

The Skinners Maintenance one is 18% protein but not fish-based

 

[Spudlet]

How about a low-cal dog food? Arden Grange Light is 18% protein?

 

[CorvusCorax]

Cheers Spud, he was on AG before so I will give my old distributor a call. He has the salmon and rice but it is 24% and dearer than the lamb and rice, which he used to be on.
Think it may be chickeny though.

 

[MissJael]

I know this isn't fish based, but the protein is low, the price is good and a man at Coalisland supplies it! I get the original for £11 a bag with the discount he gives, the cr@p I have to clean up is minimal so my mutt gets a lot out of it.

Tis at the bottom, right hand side

I couldn't help by snigger at the info on the puppy feed.

It's the breast feeding bit that tickled me. Most would say lactating bitches.

 

[nevis]

This is a tad over the 20% protein and not cheap but has sorted beastie's tum and skin after 2 years of trying everything (burns etc)...

She's on the "fusspot" brand which is Scottish Salmon and tattie - tis pricey but you really don't have to feed much.

I get mine from local independent supplier so price a wee bit better than online.

Good luck finding a food that suits - how annoying they've stopped your current one - not helpful at all!

 

[CorvusCorax]

Cheers everyone - well my panic is over, apparently they CAN order it in for me, but it just wasn't selling on the shop floor.
(I only found this out after almost bursting into tears in front of two very burly shop assistants, ha!)

So in the interim I picked Beta salmon and rice sensitive and have given it a good shake up with the food they had left and hopefull I will be sorted by Friday.

I did go to the supermarkets to try and work out a fresh fish and rice based diet but it would have worked out too expensive and fiddly for a week's worth of feeding two (I am working away a few days next week)

Flippin' dogs!
