| Post subject: What do you feed your dog or cat |
 |
|
I was feeding my cats and dogs Burns, I now use Fromm form My dogs and Burns dried for my cats and wet I feed Felix senior
The Fromm food was recommended to me as its holisitic like Burns but fussy dogs tend to like it for longer which I have found to be very true, neither of mine have gone of it yet and they have been on it for 4 weeks, which in my household is a record.
My cats are all over 8 years old so I need to use low potassium food hence Burns dried ____________ Natalie and Co xxx

I have one hoover who will eat enything (Polo) who is on JWB senior/light as he is a bit porky, I fed my dogs JWB for 10 years but now I have moved to Ireland it is not easy to get - I have to nip over the border to NI where there is a Jolleys!
Deccy is very fussy and I have had problems getting weight on him. Dalmatians are unique in the canine world as they have a different digestive system, they can't digest purines so roughly speaking the protein levels have to be modest or they form urinary stones. It's not quite that simple, as different types of protein hold different purine levels but certain foods are preferred for them. Many are on Burns which I have heard good reports of, JWB is fine, also Arden Grange - he won a 15Kg sack of the Chicken & Rice the other week and seems to like it so we may carry on. His breeders and other Dally owners who come over to Ireland regularly to show use Gusto so I have some of that too - available down here but much more expensive so it's a trip to Enniskillen again! Strangely, it is a higher protein level than the others but appears to suit Dallies.
To give him interest, I buy Brandy tinned meat which he likes, and add it as a supplement.
The cats, when I had them, had tinned and dried Go-Cat which was not over priced and suited them in between rabbit kills!  ____________ Pretty Polly Pavey of Polidot - 06/08/1996 - 13/07/2006 - Dalspa Liquid Gold for Polidot 20/10/1999 - 08/05/2007 - Polly and Polo together again |

kia is fed on autarky with tripe this is one of the only foods that she is good on she doesnt keep her weight on well at all and she has quite a few allergys so this is the best option.
i did switch her to JWB but it didnt agree with her at all so she is now back on autarky thats fine by me much cheaper so i can buy her more toys!  ____________ My goal in life is to be as good of a person as my dog already thinks I am!

The dogs are feed Autarky, and the cat Tesco premuim chunks
The only thing with Autarky, its like Burns you dont feed as much as you would normal, and i alwauys feel i am not feeding enough, so you are tempted to throw in another handful and then you end up with lots of fatty labs  ____________ Love Denise, Ebony, Brodie, Eddie Jake, Chloe the cats ( Rosie, Pepsi, Libby and Misty) xxx

I used to feed James Wellbeloved which, by UK standards, wasn't a bad food. I now feed a raw, prey model diet and couldn't be happier with the results  |
