Small dog owners, what do you feed? *update*

[katie_southwest]

So, after my replies on here, and wonderful advice from CALA I toddled off to the feed store to browse dog food (and look at horsey things too) and find one of the brands that she recommended to me. I came home with a bag of purina beta puppy/junior food and I can now say that my little westie has even started getting an appetite back in the mornings! Not quite sure what to do with 2 bags of pedigree puppy though that she wouldnt eat

She seems to have quite taken to it, she still has a bit of wet aswell as thats what shes mainly been having, but things are looking up

A friend of mine opened a bag of dog food and her dogs wouldnt touch it, so she took it back to Pets @ Home and they swapped it for something else.

I am not sure if this is their policy, but I think its fab customer service anyway.

.....or you could give it to a rescue center?

 

[katie_southwest]

Thats a good idea, maybe Il ring around a few places and see if anybody needs/wants it

Thats good of them to take it back

I bet the little begger turns her nose up at in a few days, waiting for her doting mummy, to dish out some new goodies

stick to it, and remove if she leaves any, and stick to the fewer meals if she is wasting food in the morning and eating in the evening

Yes I will do, I told mum off for leaving her tea down for too long yesterday while I was at work, so I am learning!
Since only going to 2 meals she seems to have got a bit more of an appetite in the morning

My little terrier has the same as my lab.
We had buds and blaze on science plan, when they were younger, i swear by it untill they are a year old! Its quite dear but worth it!

However they are both on bakers now and they love it. Buds strated turning his nose up at the science plan, but he has never left a meal of bakers!

My dog gets different brands of both wet and dry, which is a deliberate decision after reading a fair few articles which thought a lot of intolerances come from feeding the exact same diet every day... think about it - if we lived on one or two items for years on end we'd probably be intolerant to any new food we tried! He gets a few scraps mixed in now and again too for variety, and I find it keeps his appetite healthy as he can be a bit fussy. He has a lovely coat, good behaviour, and his diet seems to suit him, though I appreciate this may not work for all dogs.

Beta light is what I use.... he never refuses a meal

My terrier enjoys Bakers with the soft bits in it, Chappie and a couple of times a week raw chicken wings. He gets a runny tum on cheap dog food (like |Lidl and supermarkets own brands) this diet keeps him fit and healthy and he copes with bones and raw food well as he has always caught mice and rabbits and eaten them since he was little.
