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!
