Hi

I have two pups (labs) one 9 months and one 16 wk's. They have always had arden grange large puppy but this past few days they have totally gone off it even the little one who is always hungry! I have gave them both half a can of chappie on top and they will eat that but not the arden grange.

Do dogs do this??

I thought I might just change them but after looking on here and on the net in general I am now super paranoid about what to give them, ie people say grain is bad and also some have to high protein! Its a minefield.

Please help!
Lauren

dogs can be fussy if you allow them to be. i don't have a clue as to why yours won't eat lauren, and im not that clued up with kibble food, so don't know what arden grange is like, but for both of them to have stopped eating it, maybe you should look around for something else, lol, they are obviously ganging up on you . its true that dogs don't really need grains and i think there are some varietys on the market that don't have any, but i feed raw so my knowledge is limited to that

Personally I prefer wet - I use Nature diet - BUT - having said that arden grange is my prefered dry food, I know many others will not agree but I tend to feed half nature diet - half AG - sometimes mine decide they do not want the AG but they sdo seem to come around to eating it again.

I'm with Sue here. Our 7 1/2 month old pup is on Arden Grange adult (lower protein), and he has 1/4 tin wet food am and pm mixed with the dry. Wet food consists of a lot of water, but it adds to the flavour and Luika loves it

We feed our 6month pup on James Welbeloved junior mixed with a little wet food or yoghurt.

I'm with the above mix in some wet/moist and I think they will go for it, as dogs are meat eaters this usually works.

We've had to change Rocky's food several times (he's on 16 weeks) cause he will seem to love the food for a week or so, gulping it down and then suddenly go off it??? He seemed to be happy on Pedigree for a few weeks but then reading about food on here !!! we changed to Nature's Harvest - he's had it for a few weeks and he's fine now.

My two whippet boys and lurcher girl all went off their last bag 15 kg bag of arden grange lamb. I have now opened another bag and they seem ok again. My sister is using a bag purchased at the same time for her whippet and poodle and they have now refused to eat it. This has never happened before.

I am waiting to hearing from arden grange to see if there were any manufacturing problems recently. Our five dogs have all been on arden grange for over a year and are always getting compliments on how good they look.

they are just playing a game with you to see what you do. keep feeding them on the A.G, they will eat it when they are hungry enough. and if they were eating it plain dry before, dont be tempted to mix other things through it, as then u will create a problem of always having to do that. labs are not fussy dogs so they will eat it.

I would say it's a rare lab that's fussy of what it eats although there are a few, and puppies particularly can be like this.

It's interesting what Miss Macie says as I was going to ask if there was any possibility of the bag getting contaminated in any way.

If all is ok, then I would leave it down 5 minutes and if they don't eat it take it away and give nothing till their next meal. They will soon learn that they need to eat it straight away or they will go without.
