Whoops maybe I should have started my own thread  ph34r

Am I being thick?  Break it to me gently if I am  :005: but where on the Healthy Paws website do I find a list of the ingredients & analysis of protein, fat oil content etc?

Harry who is 10 months is going through the well talked about scrawny stage & is fed Burns & I'm contemplating changing his food. 
Max however puts weight on easily & Burns suits him, so I don't suppose I'm going to find a food that's going to suit them both  :-\

Another product I've seen & unlike Barking Heads & Healthy Paws there is a local supplier is CSJ CP21 - has anybody any experience of this?

Cooper gets Arden Grange & I used to buy 7.5kg bags of the chicken & rice & lamb & rice for variety but his poos werent great so, instead of changing again (I changed him from Autarky cos of his poos, & wind!  ph34r ) I decided to feed him one flavour for a bit to see if that improved.  He went worse on chicken & brilliant on lamb so that's the only flavour I buy him now.

Perhaps it is chicken based foods that are having the same affect on Bobs poo's.

i am going to get him a small bag of the TLC barking heads (chicken and rice) if he is no better on this i will change the flavor to lamb or fish

For anyone that wants to see it, Healthy Paws do have the breakdown on their website. You have to click as if you were buying a bag of the food and then it's written on there.

I read that they are bringing out a new food, does anyone know what it is?
