Re: Budget Dog food?

It is easy to digest, low in fat and the protein level is 20%. We always reccomended Chappie especially for GSDs as some of them can bordering on pancreatic. It is like any food it will not suit all, but it is a good budget food.

Protein 20%; oils 7%; ash 6.5%; fibre 4.0%; Vitamin A 4000 Iu/kg; Vitamin D 400 Iu/kg; Vitamin E 40 mg/kg; Copper 10mg/kg as copper sulphate.
The dry is completely different stuff to the wet, was told this on their help line. The wet is fish based but the dry is beef I think he said. (Even though they do both have chicken in). I havent tried the dry but the Chappie original tinned was a lifesaver when everything was going through Hedley. Now I just keep it for emergencies as he is happily established on Fish4dogs.

I got him some Burns as I thought it would calm him down, and in v small quantities he was OK with it, but when I tried increasing the Burns he got sloppy poos again. So I guess we will stick to the Fish4dogs. Oh well!

Re: Budget Dog food?

Chappie and Butchers are the only wet Bears tummy will tollerate even natures diet comes straight out the other end

its not fab wet food but if it stops a runny bum, and mucus poo's e.t.c then its a good one imo

My GSD is okay on the tins but they always make her poop very runny. Deff not something I would put her on fulltime sadly.

Re: Budget Dog food?

Okay let me sum this up, Chappie is like chicken soup for humans, great when you're feeling ill but not a food that you'd spend your life time being fed on?
