Food for fussy dogs?

[hellhasnofurylikeahungrywoman]

Does anyone use Gentle food? I have a young border collie (10 months old) and I struggle to keep her weight up but even more so as she has gone off the food she was raised on and will happily ignore it all day long. We have been recommended Gentle dog food along with Nature's Menu (don't have the storage room to go fully raw) to keep her interest up. What do others use?

Millie's Wolfheart is good. Pero is good too.

But to be fair I swap and change, my dog gets bored with the same kibble day in day out, so I swap around brands (she's only 18 months), her stomach copes fine with this (we swap over bit by bit though)

Raw is best for border collies tbh, even the collie charities recommend it.

Natures menu however is excellent, the mixer especially is very good. I mix it with water to make a porridge sometimes and it always goes down well.

My dog doesn't like the natures menu dry, but she likes the cans and frozen.
The prize choice minces are also by natures menu, they are good also, just add a smidge of liver to them.

forthglade, naturediet, Lily's kitchen, natural instinct and nutriment are good also.

I would add a probiotic, I use the pink strawberry ones from Holland and Barrett for my border collie, bio live plain yogurt is good too, as is tripe as collies as a breed are prone to digestive disorders.

I always wonder about the swapping food slowly thing when I consider some of the crap (quite literally) that dogs eat. Shall Google Pero, have already got Millie's Wolfheart on the list. Thank you.

Also, quite a lot of people don't have a good understanding of ideal weight.
Collies often take a few years to fill out, if you can feel the ribs when stroking, if you can faintly see the outline of the ribcage sometimes and if you can see a clear nipped in waist your collie is likely the ideal weight.

To a lot of people my border may look underweight, the tops of her hip bones are just visible, you can feel ribs but not really see them but in fact she is a very healthy size, the vet says perfect.

Unless he's emacated and you can see all ribs I wouldn't worry about putting weight on tbh

Thank you Buttholelane she seems to be really enjoying the Nature's Menu mince blocks so I am just trying to reconfigure steal back freezer space so I can buy enough to get free delivery from their website

She does have a beautifully defined waist but she is losing weight rather than staying the same which is why I am a bit concerned about her.

Natures menu is sold at pets at home and jollyes if there's one near.

I would give a probiotic or feed natural probiotics in the form of plain live yogurt or tripe incase a digestive issue is causing her to be picky.
Most dogs love both tripe and yogurt.

Another thing, what are her teeth like?
Maybe gingivitis or something is causing her pain and therefore pickiness?

Her teeth are good. She hasn't had her first season yet and I did wonder if that might be behind her sudden change. She gets live natural yogurt most days as she really enjoys it so I will keep that up. She is still keen on other things to eat just not her food, she was on James Wellbeloved and we are just getting to the end of a massive sack of the stuff so it seems as good a time as any to implement a change.
