kibble with wet food
« on: July 20, 2009, 01:20:49 PM »
Oscar (12 weeks old now) came to me on Royal Canin mixed with wet pouch food. At the moment he is having pedigree puppy pouches as that is all I can get locally. Do dogs need the wet food? Can I transition him to just having the RC alone? What is the best for his health?

What does your dog eat in one day?

I'd get rid of the Pedigree stuff ;). Dogs do perfectly fine with just dry food as far I am aware, but even if this wasn't the case I still wouldn't feed Brodie Pedigree ph34r :P

ETA have you tried him with raw chicken wings? Brodie gets two a couple of times a week and loves them :D

Hiya,

I've always fed my dogs soley dry JWB, however Penny (13yr Old Lab x) went through a spell of being sick after meals so I got her some wet food in. Since shes been having half and half (JWB Kibble and JWB Pouches) she seems really bright eyed and bushy tailed - touch wood very healthy! So shes staying on that for now. The others are still on JWB dry, though I'd like them all to be on the 50/50 but those pouches are just sooooo expensive that for four would be a fortune!!

Hiya,
Mine have Burns complete Fish and Maize with a bit of Butchers tripe tinned meat added to it. They wont eat dry kibble for breakfast so it has to have a bit of moist food mixed in or meat juices with water or milk. They will eat it dry for supper though - fussy pups!!! 1x 400g tin lasts 4 meals. They thrive on this and are happy and healthy.

My vet was really rude about the pedigree pouches, I saw the comment on the computer screen, but I was getting desperate as Rufus would wolf them down and wouldn't eat any of the expensive puppy kibble stuff which all went to the local rescue. I then was told about nature diet and he had this in small quantities. I could then make the change gradually to a good quality puppy kibble. He wouldn't eat it wet. I wouldn't worry as long as you use a quality product. The vet said Pedigree had too much sugar, and pupsters liked it just as kids like sweet things. I feed kibble at breakfast and Nature diet for tea.

I might try some Naturediet with his dried then- eventually want to go with kibble one meal, raw another.
