Hi Everyone!
Ok, so OH and I have had dogs since we were children but have not owned as adults. We always said that once we moved out of our flat into a house with a garden that we would become dog owners for the first time.
I breed of choice was a JRT and so we now own Clyde. A gorgeous tri colour JRT.
He came to us on Tesco Puppy food which we changed over to JWB after a bit of research. He wasnt too keen but we perservered but after 2 weeks, he completely refused to eat it (even mixing in different things). Our vet recommended Royal Canin and so we have changed over to this and he seems happy and his poos are nice and firm albeit a bit smelly and he does slightly more of them now.
I have just come back from our local pet shop and after having a lovely converstation with the lady there, am a bit confused as to what we should be feeding and what is best for Clyde.
She couldnt recommend highly enough the "raw food" diet. Which is fine but we go away in our caravan from time to time and so storing Raw may not be easy but could be made easier if we perhaps combined with dry food??? She suggested that if she had to feed dry along side raw then she would only use something like Orijen or Acana because of their high meat content and being grain free.
What do you guys think? Should I leave well alone if Clyde is happy or make a positive move onto something perhaps better for his health in the long term?
Slightly confused.
Many thanks from me and lots of tail wags from Clyde
