Hi all

Just wondering how those of you who had switched to Autarky are doing? I keep reading good things about it and was just curious.

All the best,
Nic

Hi Nic

WE change dHolly over to Autarky..some problems at first..think perhaps we changed it too quick or she ate something she shouldnt have from the garden..then just as we thought we were getting back to normal Holly given a Pedigree SUpachew by someone else..poorly tum again. So gradually reintroducing Autarky after rice chicken again etc. It is slow going as we want to make sure it is not Autarky giving her a dodgy tum. But this time so far so good so fingers crossed Very Happy

On all other fronts it is great...she loves it....her coat is so shiny....and she does seem a bit less manic than she was..LOL ..though still definitely a mad puppy!

Cant give it a 100% thumbs up yet untill she is fully back on it and still no runny poos Shocked

but ill keep you posted!

Hi Shelley

Glad to hear that Holly is feeling better now - please keep me posted on how the Autarky goes - Smudge is on James Wellbeloved which suits him fine but Autarky is more readily available in this area and it helps that supermarkets sell it too!

We used to have Smudge on Bakers and were advised to change it due to his 'hyperness' (if that's a word! lol!). It did help to change him from it, though he still has his mad moments! It's amazing what an effect their food can have. I mean, Bakers is available everywhere but like everything, I guess it affects different dogs in different ways.

Take care and hope Autarky continues to work well for you.

All the best,
Nic

we feed maddie burns diet. She's 7 months old but she's on adult food as they've advised us to because of her activity levels. Her coat is glossy and she's really lean and well defined. Seems quite reasonable cost wise too. Lots of advice from them and its delivered free of charge to your door from the website. Cant complain!!!

Just thought id do a quick update from previous post on how Holly getting on with Autarky. The result is good. She is on it fully now and doing really well. Her tummy has settled well, although i think it will always be a bit sensitive (at least at the mo) to chews and the like, as we do have the odd soft one Shocked

(sorry) but i dont think the Autarky is to blame. I think these coincide with a different training treat etc. so im going to try sticking to using her food and maybe chicken or cheese as special training treats Wink

Might give liver cake a try - read the recipe on here somewhere.. although as a veggie i might be calling on hubbys culinary skills for this!!

Anyway the verdict so far on Autarky is a definite thumbs up... but soon we will have to start thinking about changing to adult version. Im sure theres a thread or two about that LOL Laughing

Best wishes
Shelley
