Salmon oil !
a tablespoon full added to any food makes the whole bowl irresistible and its very good for joints and coats too

Ooh, sounds quite a lot....don't you get a fishy smelling dog with an oily coat ( that is what happens with my cats if I give too much ):mad:

I know it's not exactly the same but Orbit the Cat (RIP) would only eat certain cat foods,Kit E Kat & the one made by Butchers (sorry,cant remember the name of it) being 2 of them.

My lab ate Hills Science diet till she was 1 year old. Then she suddenly decided she'd had enough.

Now she has a mixture - sometimes Butchers, sometimes Winalot Tuna, sometimes as a treat, that Cesar stuff for little dogs. She wouldn't give you a thank you for dried food!

Why not give up on the canned commercial food altogether and go for the raw diet which is a lot cheaper and in my opinion much better for the dogs. I have fed raw to my dogs for years and they have always been very healthy.

my dog is the same i did try and stick with the science plan food for a while but she just turned her nose up at more went in the bin than in her tummy, she will now only eat butchers.

do you have to polish the trays?? :rotfl:

I feed different flavours and types to my dogs - they both are absolutely fine as long as Im careful changing them over, and I really think it is nicer for all of us!!

So are you going to let us in on the secret? Where DO you buy it?

Would never feed any of my dogs tinned dog food ,unless it was Nature diet (uber expensive though ! )
Pedigree ,Pal ,Butchers all awful IMO
Never met a reputable breeder that would feed tinned either .
If you are worried about the expense of a good dry feed ,dont worry .We feed Skinners ,its around £12 for a whole sack !! ( A highly rated dry food not like bakers or other commercial rubbish )
As a general rule of thumb ,if a supermarket sells it ,it aint much cop
