My lab is now approx 8 months old and has always been quite a fussy eater.
She eats what she is given normally, but just very very slowly - would take her aprox 5 minutes eating 2 coffee mugs worth of food (which am told is unusual for a lab
) and looks good - perfect weight and a good coat.
so far she has been on - JWB as a pup but changed as poos were very runny, .She was then on Beta which she ate but again very slowly. onto Bakers which she loved and out of everything would be her fave, but was never going to feed long term. Changed her onto Pedigree but again ate very slowly. On advice of a pet store changed her onto their own brand which was proper nutritional food and a very good food with a high % of meat. She again ate very slowly but as always cleared the bowl. Then asked vet and he suggested trying royal cannin (not ideal as very expensive!) but same again, very slowly eating.
She was on each type of food for approx 3-4 weeks giving everything a go and was changed slowly onto each different brand to give her time to adjust.
Any suggestions for food? She usually always eats her food but never seems to enjoy - my next brand was to try wainwrights? But I don't know enough about the brand tbh.
And please no comments about whether you think I am a numpty or not, I am not stupid but I don't know enough about dog food other than the main few brands as mentioned above!
Thanks
Some recent pics of her
Using the drinker (she looks a bit odd stance wise, but can assure you it is the photo
)
Her favorite place to sleep!
