Think it's a good way to get plenty of water in them plus doesn't dry them out like kibble..

Hares are great after hard work all that iron

I was using Skinners or Harringtons Lamb and rice with chicken wings oily fish etc, but started using £14.50 a sack stuff from the farm shop, the dogs wouldn't eat the Skinners when given the choice of the two, still get the meat and fish, but I'm not wasting money on expensive dry food if it's just oily cereal in the sack

Reminds me of our old cocker getting in the green food bin once. He just kept eating by time we spotted him he was as wide as he was long. Greedy git. That got messy
