I wanted my dog to just eat royal canin dry food but, she only fancies that as an evening snack tried many things, and kept an eye on her in general and her poo I conner be arsed with all making up meals etc so, I've now settled on a 100% natural dog food called Applaws ...bit dear but....it contains the usual varieties chicken liver beef salmon etc with added veg.....peas carrots and rice........it does look very natural to the point it looks better than some pub food dunno if it is good or bad for her.....I just know she's fussy but, wolfs that stuff down my owd mutt Blacky, I had in the 70's lived until he was 21 on a diet of....1 big tin of chum per day....I bet half of that was sugar I have a couple of customers who work in the industry specifically Pet Nutrition and another guy whose a manager in a Pet Superstore . The all tell me the same thing , that being that people are becoming more aware of the good and bad products to buy , but some still continue with the cheaper products . At the other end of the scale there are those who want the best for their dogs and cats and are prepared to spend whatever it takes which I suppose is very admirable , however like most things there are much cheaper alternatives out their which can be delivered to your door without the hassle . The key to all this is is having the will or enthusiasm to do your own research . There are websites that will actually clearly guide you towards excellent dog foods just as good as the more expensive brand names . It would not be appropriate for me to suggest one particular one as there are several , but don't be misguided that Ilams or James Well-beloved are the only ones to consider . They are both good products , but are expensive . I currently use several home delivery firms that are a fraction of the supermarket brand name prices , but they are foreign and are marketed in a way that is alien to the British consumer . One to give you an idea has the picture of a flower on the front .! Genuine question mumf - do you have much dealings with cats, as we have two, but the youngest one (1 year) is like a furry pirahna !!!! Just wolfs down her bowl and then the fat cats bowl in literally seconds. She has regular adult food now from 'Pettshill -young adult active'...surely I just can't keep shovelling food down her.... Any advice? dutch

Yep, nail on head there Mumf.......I've just been too lazy.........she's only classed as a small dog so she's not too expensive although I do realise it's a lot for a small dog. she does like a pets at home brand that's based on pate with no artificial stuff that's half the price but was unsure of that

Genuine question mumf - do you have much dealings with cats, as we have two, but the youngest one (1 year) is like a furry pirahna !!!! Just wolfs down her bowl and then the fat cats bowl in literally seconds. She has regular adult food now from 'Pettshill -young adult active'...surely I just can't keep shovelling food down her.... Any advice? dutch Has she always eaten a lot or suddenly changed ? reason I ask Is change to constant hunger in cats can be a sign of kidney failure....doubt tho as she's so young ....I'm sure there are loads more reasons....ie fat cunt Nah mate she's been a greedy thing since day one.....its a feline Mr Creosote Im telling ya !! As said I changed the food recently to match her age and whatnot, but don't know if I should change it again - something for older cats perhaps that fills her up a little more so it reduces the urge to and frequency to eat so to speak. Been to 2 vets over here and some pet service at the local garden centre but they're just useless

Any advice? dutch Well , to be honest many young cats do eat quite a lot , but there may well be an underlying condition causing her to eat so much . The simple answer would be to have some blood samples taken and perhaps monitor her behaviour . Is she lethargic ...energetic ...does she drink lots of water ? The chances are that she is simply burning up the calories , but if you are unsure then get it checked out . There are conditions which cause cats to be ravenous. The cost to you including the consultation would be around the £ 100 mark . ...not sure how much abroad though ...

My staffie is 7 months old and has been on Wainwrights puppy food since we have had him. For the last 2 to 3 weeks we have now and again added things like rice, pasta, bits of meat but not at every meal time (3 times a day) now we are at the stage where he is looking for the extra at every meal time. Someone as suggested adding a bit of tinned dog food but some say most of it is shit. Please advise Not sure where to start with this one , but here goes ..... There's nothing wrong with Wainwrights at all . Any dog will beg for more food and treats so it's up to you to decide if he's had his quota . From what you've said you are doing the right things by feeding him at regular intervals which I suggest you continue to do when he's an adult ...but morning and evening . I don't tend to give my dogs many treats as it can easily lead to an overweight dog but again this depends on the energy levels it requires and how much exercise you give him . The vast majority of dog owners tend to over feed their dogs so my advice would be follow the advice on the tin or box . If you want to add wet food to your chosen mixer , then I would reduce the amount of dry biscuit and perhaps add the odd sardine or two ...Morrisons own brand are the best and cost 34p a tin . You might prefer to give it some Tuna or ham that's not been used by yourselves and is a day past its sell by date . What you should avoid is giving it fatty glutinous food rich in fats and sugar that can be found in the likes of many brand name products . Instead , think more along the lines of less fatty protein foods like fish......If you ever watch the Discovery Channel in the extreme cold climates of Alaska and Canada they only tend to feed their pet dogs (normally cross breeds and Huskies ) on Salmon off cuts boiled up into a soup. Obviously , I'm not suggesting that you do the same , but merely showing how beneficial simple organic food is . Dogs metabolism and digestive system is practically the same as a wolf or Fox . Dogs are not 'grazers' but predators and should be fed accordingly . Most North American Vetinary pet food nutrition sites advocate a more simple dietary plan . It is unnatural to feed any dog food that it would not be used to eating by fending for itself . As a result many now prefer the ' BARF' diet as their chosen preferred plan . It's all down to personal preference . Summarising ....continue to do what you are doing but keep a close eye on the dietary advice printed on the products . Never exceed the dietary advice . Avoid giving the dog human processed food ..or .it'll end up a fat bastuurd like me !! only give my dogs dry dog food...give them a treat once a week with tinned sardines...they prefer the sardines than canned or pouched dog food

You might want to consider the dried fish strips instead of the usual treats too ...they're not expensive . Dried tripe , pigs ears are other alternatives . Avoid buying the Dentistix ....they're no good whatsoever. Most dogs can simply snap them in half and swallow them ....try a raw carrot to a dried hide chew instead . These are cheaper and far more effective . Dogs take ages to munch on them .

My missus gets hers from someone in Bedford, we now have 2 chest freezers to store the stuff, it's pretty expensive I think but she finds it a struggle to get anything reasonably priced.

Yes ....I do get some . Am I right in thinking that your dogs are fed the raw food too ? Has she considered approaching one of the wholesale poultry farms down there for carcasses ? Might be worth a try . The frozen packs up here bought over the counter are about £.90p ...there's Rabbit , Lamb , Turkey all minced together with the bone . It's the roughage in the bone that breaks down as it is digested that forces out any sloppy loose material in the bowel thus preventing blocked anal glands and unnecessary trips to the vets . It's also good for health bones and teeth . Has your wife considered cooking up some cheap raw veg to mix in with it ....? You can use potato , but I prefer not to to reduce the carb intake There's plenty of farms down your way that love cash in hand . I should know ....I've spend weeks fishing on the drains in the Fens . What I've found is that practically all dogs benefit from a raw food diet , but you need to be careful that you don't give them bones that will splinter ...weight bearing bones . Chicken wings , chicken breast , and chicken rib cage area are all fine ......but not the chicken legs.

Chicken wings , chicken breast , and chicken rib cage area are all fine ......but not the chicken legs. Yes, raw food is all they get pretty much, aside from the odd bonio type biscuit and dried fish strip, very occasionally she'll get a couple of local rabbits or some road kill. Chicken carcasses come along with the raw food, and wings etc. Don't think she's tried mixing veg in with it, I'll suggest that and talking to farmers, she grooms some farmers dogs anyway so she may have already enquired on that front. 90p a pack doesn't sound too wide of the mark from my limited knowledge, I suppose when you have 8 dogs it's going to get expensive whatever you feed them. Cheers :)

Dry food in the morning and wet with mixer in the evening. That way you get the best of both worlds.

Should a dog licence be brought back?

Mumf 2 questions : Have you ever been badly bitten (by a dog, not a human)? Should a dog licence be brought back? Only once and that was by accident . One of my dogs was attacked and I intervened ....it went straight through my hand . Dog licences .....No . I would rather see more stricter legislation enforced in relation to the welfare of animals and bigger fines and sentences imposed by those dogs that attack other dogs causing injury or death . Your average vet bill in such attacks can run into the thousands of pounds and the victims are the ones who suffer both emotionally and financially . I'd make this enforcement the duty of the community police force ...at least it would give them something to do .!! Ha ha ...

I'd imagine you've come across 'zoopharmacognosy' mumf? Any thoughts? Good/bad experiences? There is little doubt in my mind as the authenticity or benefits of this both to animals and humans . Animal behaviour is a very complex but interesting science in itself , but the real experts in this are those that spend so much time co habitating with such animals , such as indigenous tribes across the globe . It is ready well known that certain dogs can also detect cancer in humans and much research is already ongoing to exploit the benefits to us humans .
