When Alfie was a puppy he was quite poorly and whilst the vet was investigating she suggested that for the following week we fed him on Chicken, rice and green beans. Well to cut a long story short, when Alfie learnt that there was more to life than kibble he decided he was not going to eat it. After trying just about every kibble and wet dog food on the market I have been giving him fresh cooked food, such as chickem, heart, liver with rice, veg etc. This is getting to be quite a chore and very difficult to supply when we go away. I decided that i should look into different wet dog foods. Having read Naturediet I decided to order some.
I stupidly ordered it and THEN decided to email naturediet with a couple of questions. I asked them what it looked like as I know my dog well and if it looks like tinned dog meat he won't touch it. Thinking that this company who believe in good nutrition for dogs I expected them to come back say it was whole chunks of whatever variety I chose. They told me it is not like tinned dog food more like Pate!!!!!!! Ok so having bought "chunky" dog food before and "Loaf" type dog food i can't quite understand why she claims it does not look or smell like dog good.
She also stated that the veg they use are carrots. Considering the description of their food states VegetableS as in the plural, how do they get away with only using carrots. I currently give Alfie 2 or 3 diff types of veg, so I am thinking my food might be better for him.
I wanted to change Alfie's food firstly for the inconvenience and secondly and prob most importantly because I just thought his coat looked dull and was thinking as I am not a dog nutritionalist perhaps I am not feeding him right.
I have emailed the company I have ordered the food from (not naturediet directly) to see if I can cancel the order. naturediet have very kindly offered me a couple of samples. IF ONLY I HAD CONTACTED THEM FIRST.
Alfie won't touch loaf type dog meat I'm sure he won't touch this. Anyone use this food with a fussy eater which has been successful?
Sorry to go on, feel a bit of an idiot!
