When Chance came home we fed her on McDonalds everyday. Well, not really but all the colours and additives meant there was little difference. We put her on Wainrights but she was loose. We tried her on a working dog feed, but she was still loose and pooed far more than ever before.

I spoke to the Pet shop who recommended that we try her on 'healthy option pet food'. It doesn't seem to sell online but you can read about it here:

Healthy Option Dog Food

The main things that they suggested was you don't want too much 'cereal' as often it contains gluten/wheat which apparently many dogs are allergic to and you don't want 'derivatives', as these are often mashed up bone or organs and basically whatever is swept off the floor of the slaughter house.

Chance is for the first time 'firm' in the poo department and produces a lot less waste than before!

Im really confused...just as i decide what to go for something comes up which isnt so good...guess i need to go for one and see what happens..its just choosing which!!
thanks to all who have gave me some ideas!
anymore recommendations would be appreciated!

As already suggested no single food is the best for every dog.

Just go for one you are happy with and try your dog on it. Remember to phase the new food in, as a rapid change in diet can cause its own problems.

If you find something that works - stick with it!

Good luck

yes i think thats what im going to have to do...thank you!

As has been mentioned before Burns is a good one they have a very good helpline just google Burns and read for yourself about the food. They will send you samples

Offer them whatever good quality dry puppy food you want to use and moisten with a little warm water. In the beginning, offer them food 3 times a day, give them about 20 minutes to eat, then let the mom finish it off. They also need fresh water available when you start introducing them to food.
Keep fresh water available too, is a small, shallow dish.Add milk replacer to this mix, too.
Buy a high grade puppy food, and use warm water so soften it.

i use wainwrights little bit cheaper than jw with excellent results you can get it at pets for homes shops my pup looks really well on it no stomach problems at all

I've gradually changed mine over from what it was on before I got her (Butchers canned) to Eucanuba Puppy over the last week and she seems to have coped very well with the change, almost too well, i'ms ure she's doubled in size and is far more bouncier lol.

Not used Wainwrights JW are owned by Pedigree so that would put me off straight away and i've also heard AG are using more cereal in their food now...
