I feed Darcy Pedigree puppy. I know that a lot of people have issues with commercial food and particularly tinned food but Darcy was on Hills Science when I got her and she constantly had the runs, Pedigree seems to suit her much better and when she is a bit older she will go on to Chappie like Coco.

Coco can't tolerate dry food and I'm not really keen on the idea of it.

When we got Mollie she was being fed Asda Smart Price tinned and dry food mix, and cornflakes and milk in the morning. We have now had Mollie a weeks and i have started to change her diet to something better buthavei doen the right thing by putting her on pedifree puppy. She is absolutly fine on it stools are ok and no upset tummys. running round like a loony but she is small well i think she is . and i was just concerned that maybe i have her on the wrong food.

A dog we had a few years ago used to have chappie because he was ll he had stomach problems, he loved it we justhated the smell lol

Can only speak from experience here that i have had with pedigree

Holly had it initially as we wanted to move her off tinned food she was on from breeder

Vet had no problem with it as such but Holly did have quite dry coat she wanted us to keep an eye on...suggesting it could be diet related.

Holly would take or leave pedigree dry...was known to pick out the tinned we were mixing it with.

Puppy training suggested it was full of additives etc and this could be causing Holly to go a bit hyper...we were having some very mad moments around this time.

After lots of reading...mostly from posts on here....switched to Autarky. After a few false starts (we changes to quick initially i think) now such improvement...in appetite, shiny coat and hyperness (though still nutty Rolling Eyes

)

Dont know if any of problems were caused by pedigree though i definitely know she didnt like it as she wolfs the Autarky dry food down...but having said that i def. wouldnt change back either!!

Im sure more expert advice will follow
