Ideation 8,217 Posted July 14, 2011 Report Share Posted July 14, 2011 Folk like that do not deserve to have dogs mate, and sadly that's most dog owners. 1 Quote Link to post
big andy 62 Posted July 14, 2011 Report Share Posted July 14, 2011 My pup is on Beta puppy and he is coming on brilliant, pick my second pup up on Sunday and she will have the same...on offer at pets at home at present, two 15kg bags for 45 quid.. Quote Link to post
DeerhoundLurcherMan 997 Posted July 14, 2011 Report Share Posted July 14, 2011 My pup was on beta puppy till 12 months and thrived!! turned out strong and healthy with a nice coat! would recommend to anyone, always provide pups with the best you can afford, and if you cant, don't get a pup!!

stroller 341 Posted July 14, 2011 Report Share Posted July 14, 2011 Well i always feed mine tinned chappie with sardines and a calcium supplement, until they are about 11 months before i move them on to dry food. My opinion but its easily digested and the dogs get the most out of it without filling the kennel full of shite. Quote Link to post
ryangolding 4 Posted July 14, 2011 Report Share Posted July 14, 2011 my pups on alpha sporting puppy doing her really well only down side is she farts like a trooper!!! Quote Link to post
Guest joball Posted July 14, 2011 Report Share Posted July 14, 2011 I used to use beta puppy but tbh red mill racer is the best and half the price. Plus lots of meat and tripe. Quote Link to post
TheWizard 6 Posted July 14, 2011 Report Share Posted July 14, 2011 I'm new to the site and this is my first post! After reading lots of stuff on here over the last month or so I recently put my pup onto a mianly barf diet. He's a 10 month old Saluki/Greyhound/Whippet and I can see a big difference in him since I changed him over from the puppy mixer he was getting. He's starting to fill out nicely now and another benefit is those farts that have been mentioned have near enough disappeared. Quote Link to post

Shazza 52 Posted July 15, 2011 Report Share Posted July 15, 2011 I feed mine Chudleys greyhound racer (aprox £18 for a 15kg bag) and it's great stuff, dogs love it and my 8 month old looks fantastic on it, glossy coat (she's black and everyone comments on her super shiny coat). Low poop output and no farts. Quote Link to post

To much fat on a puppy isnt great for young bones either, theres a balance.......... Quote Link to post

To much fat on a puppy isnt great for young bones either, theres a balance.......... Yeah it does depend on the type/build of dog and whether it's too greedy. I would never let anything get too chubby. Mine aren't greedy and they share happily, everyone looks well and only eats what they need so i'm happy too. I do put one large bowl of food out per day and am here when they have access to it so i know they are all eating well and there's no arguments. I've fed like this for a few years now and never had any problems, just lucky i guess Quote Link to post
