The Cat Beefy is the best fed in our house, she's on that Whiskas " Oh so meaty/fishy"

With the dogs, I'm still trying to find somethng Fudgie will eat consistantly been through wet & dry. He just goes off it after a few days and then I'm back to square one. He's a proper fuss pot (very un-Lab. like). Thankfully Angel will eat anything (including blinds, skirting boards etc) and has a stomach of iron so she has no adverse effects swapping and changing foods.

The fish have, flakes for Jerry and pellets for Tom (he thinks he's Moby Dick) because he's HUGE!

PS I've done my signature pic. now. Fudge is the choccy and Angel is the yellow.

PPS Oooops it's not worked

Calvin was at first on Butchers puppy food (tinned), and then he was on Pedigree puppy complete, then the vet told me to take him off it, so i put him on Iams puppy complete, then that was makin his skin flaky ( the same as Pedigree puppy complete did ), then i put him on Butchers puppy complete, then was told its ok to put him on adult food now ( he is 8month old ), so i put him on Butchers adult complete, then the vet said no i was to keep him on puppy food for atleast 1 year, so he is now back on Butchers puppy complete.....but his skin is flaky again.

so i might have to put him on Chappie adult complete....


PHEW! Wink

We've only had ours a couple of months and we're trying different foods to see which they like the best.

Biggest mistake so far was Frolic. Good grief! Bright red runny poo all over the garden.

They seem to like tins of Butchers Tripe but their breath really stinks. I'm going to try the JBL and Iams next.

Our dogs have been on a few different varieties of foods,some foods make them a little constipated and some make their poos really soft and impossible to pick up. So we eventually tried them on chappie and a locally produced food called gusto. The dogs like both foods,but have settled on gusto (even though its a working dogs food) they love it.

Hi ppl, flaky skin can be sorted out by changing to a diet with better quality ingredients. Foods like chum, bakers, beta, chappie are made up of mostly cereal , dogs (and cats) need a diet made up from mostly meat. The mentioned foods simply do not have enough oils and fats in for the skin and coat to be healthy. Try a meat based food such as nutro, pro plan or royal canin and you will see an improvement. (I don't mean tinned meat either, if you look at the ingrdeints in most of these they consist of derivatives and cereals too!)
Hope this helps!

Any amount of cereal in a dog's food can cause skin irritation as most dogs are allergic to wheat, corn and soya. Wink May be worth looking for a hypo allergenic food if you suspect that. Wink

When we switched over to the prey model diet one of the first things I noticed was no more flaky skin or 'bumps' on her lower back.

I have to admit (and reading this thread makes me want to hang my head in shame) that both of my dogs are on Bakers.

When I bought them they were on Bakers Puppy and they love it. They clear their bowls in seconds.

I have tried them on different foods (dry) and they dont eat it with as much gusto. So i went back to Bakers and they snuffle it up again.

In the evenings they always have a little 'snackeral' which is our left over dinner. They love veggies and gravy with a bit of meat.

The cats are on a low ph biscuit. Pro Plan is their food of choice.
