The reason a dog has so many friends is that he wags his tail instead of his Tongue.

Just bought a new bag of JWB £47 i think the dog eats better than i do. Lucky i only have one dog. Dazy it would cost you a fortune to feed your lot on JWB. yup, but if they needed it, they would have it and I would have to cut down on other things... this is the trouble with flipping animals... they cost... |

One of our litters of cockers ate a packet of the childrens' wax crayons - I had to warn the purchasers collecting them hat the coloured bits coming through weren't anything to worry about and explain the circumstances! And a friend of ours' flat coat ate socks - which used to go right through too.

We had a collie who used to chew the bricks in the garden which were supposed to edge the footpath. They came out the other end without problem. The dog did wear down his teeth. He was the nephew of Shep from Blue Peter fame. He died at the age of 12, which is young for a collie, he had a little bed in the greenhouse and used to eat the grapes as they fell off the vine. I have only lately discovered that grapes are highly toxic to dogs, more so apparently than bricks.

Mine always used to eat grapes and dried versions thereof without any apparent ill effects and lived to a ripe old age - I was horrified when I discovered they could be toxic!

I don't think anyone is ever going to ask me if my whippet "ate all the pies"? He honestly does eat like a horse but it all goes to his muscles it would seem. I think sleeping for 23 hours a day must be a whippet calorie burning exercise too!  |

If you dont mind feeding pies like i do with mine, i just "happened" to see a pastry delivery van at a shop one day and being in a cheeky mood asked him if he had any out of date stuff, meet up with him twice a week now and feed all the dogs on pies and pasties for an occassional bottle of wine. They look really well on it and so does my pocket

I feed my three on Harringtons. They all love it & look very good on it. It's available from Tesco, Asda & Morrisons & even though it's already reasonably priced it is on offer at regular intervals for just £1 per kilo. Have used James Wellbeloved, Arden Grange & Burns in the past, all EXCELLENT feeds, but Harringtons does the same job  www.harringtonsdogfood.co.uk/ |

Reason I was asking was because I found this site: www.dogfoodadvisor.com/choosing-dog-food/dog-food-grain-by-products/I than started looking at the contents of the dog food, even the 'vet' ones, and realised what I had been feeding my dogs ... after a quick google of some of the ingredients and I was shocked. Am now feeding them on Finshmongers, white fish and potatoe, feed which is all natural and contains 5 ingredients, which are all natural and contain no by-products. |

Still searching for something a bit better but this one doesn't break the bank! Thinking of cooking dinner for them from now on though. Still undecided...  |

I have tried many different dog foods this is what I have found:
Smaller breeds westies I feed James Well Beloved they love it, it has a smaller kibble so easier for them to eat and because this breed can get skin complaints the ingredients are fantasic and help prevent any irritation. Their condition is great as a result. (Also good for other small breeds)
At the moment I breed Beagles and feed the puppies up to 18month old on either Eukanuba Puppy Junior or Pedigree Chum Puppy Complete and tripe makes a huge difference to their development. The older dogs are fed on Bakers Complete and tripe, the meat stinks but they look fantastic.

Natural Instinct raw food, comes as a complete frozen diet or just meat. They also sell bones.They don't use any battery animals and the working lines have no VAT. Great company and my 3 dogs all look great on it.
