Dog food

[Bananajuice]

I'm having trouble finding food for my dog that doesn't upset her stomach. She likes to eat a mixture of kibble(it has to be semi moist though)and wet food(pate or terrine style and grain free)my budget for it is £60 a month. Anyone have any recommendations?

Scrumbles are supposed to good for digestive health although I haven’t tried them. But really you want to get to the root cause of her stomach; could it be a food intolerance for example, or anxiety? Have you tried an elimination diet to see if there’s a particular ingredient that is triggering it? (Chicken is a common one.)

I had a sensitive tummed dog, vet recommended chappie dried food and it really helped I mixed with weebolox rolled meat.

My vet and my DSisters Vet both recommended tinned Chappie.

It was the only thing that agreed with that dog she had colitis.

As the number one ingredient is "cereals", I wouldn't feed Chappie wet to my dogs. One of my dogs seems intolerant to corn and another to wheat, so an easy choice.

Meat is the first ingredient in our dogs foods - both wet and dried.

Good for you.

Have you considered raw?

What's your point, as I assume you aren't truly congratulating me? Do you think dogs diets should consist mostly of cereals of unlisted types? My dogs main tinned wet food is less £ per kilo than Chappie, so not a stealth brag. Rates about twice as highly on the allaboutdogfood website that many on here refer to. Chappie rates at 37%, my wet tinned food rates at 75% and is cheaper. (We use a variety of foods, so 75% isn't the highest rating, but an example .)

Hedgehog it might be helpful if you told us what you feed your dogs rather than slinging mud at other peoples choice.

As I said I feed a variety, but Chappie isn't something I'd feed as I looked at the ingredients.

I buy a lot of our food on Bitiba, which is the discounted sister site of Zooplus. Rocco Classic is the example I was referring to. 75% rating on allaboutdogfood. It's made of 70% meat , 28.8% broth, with minerals and linseed oil making up the remaining 1.2%.

No food is perfect and we use more expensive/ higher rated foods too but have to balance the cost when feeding 3 dogs, so use a variety as they all have different tastes and get bored easily.

I think it's important to look at the ingredients and see what your dog's food is made from, especially if your dog has allergies or intolerances. Cereals and chicken seem to cause high rates of allergies/ intolerances, including in my dogs.

Chappie is mostly unlisted cereals with the second ingredient as just 14% fish and derivatives and 4% chicken and derivatives. Not what I personally want to feed my dogs. Although for dogs without allergies to these ingredients, I can see that it is probably easy to digest and could settle a bout of colitis in the short term.

I'm not knocking cheaper foods at all. Sainsbury's Hypoallergenic Lamb dried dog food is a regular buy as our dogs love it. It is 60% lamb, contains no cereals and is £6.90 for 2kg.
