Dog Food and feeding

  • No probs:D - a bag used to last Ben around 5 weeks (38kg) for an idea of feeding (he did get a bit of veg mixed in!)

    Yup, I'd def recommend mixing!

    Have you got a good pet shop nearby? My local one stocks it and you can get wee bags (but obviously works out more expensive) if you'd want to try it before going for a big one.

    Oh I have tried it with her, had samples from them - she liked it as a treat on walks (as she did any other food, as treats) but wonder if she will have it as a meal. She got Orijen , Orijen Fish and Orijen Red all mixed together in a big container at the moment, I have a feeling Salmos would be the most acceptable option for her majesty )

    Is she a bit of a fusspot? :D

    My youngest dog who is now 7 was an absolute pain with dry food - I'd buy a 2kg to try him with and he would wolf it down but as soon as I bought a big bag, he would turn his nose up at it! The oldest one was then left to work his way through a huge bag on his own - it used to resemble a pet food warehouse here :D

    The Duck & Rice flavour Skinners gets a huge paws up from him although I'm tempted to try the salmon one as he loves fish and anything remotely fishy flavoured!

    I used to feed Arran and Abby Orijen and they did really well on it, I lost Abby last year to kidney failure which she probably had when I got her, I decided not to take any more chances with them and have put Arran and Ellie on a raw diet, I'm crap at doing it myself so I buy it from a company called natural instincts. All their treats are home made they get liver cake and small biscuits that I make for them.
