Our Bichon Friese loves these and has about 3 packs of 6 chews a week. I have just noticed that the daily feeding amount shown on the pack is 1 or 1.5 pieces a day (he is 7.5kg). What might the consequences of our excessive amounts be?

Many thanks for the helpful replies

The vet has prescribed a long term painkiller for our 12 year old Bichon Friese's arthritis. It is Previcox and the 20 tablets were £38.35 - almost £2 each. Dose is ½ a day. Looking on line the same strength ones are 44p. I'm a bit cautious, knowing that the internet is awash with fake drugs...

Vet confirms no problems with teeth or gums so it must just be a sudden dislike. Never having used wet food I'm open to suggestions for alternatives to Pedigree (which he loves)

Vet booked. If there is a problem and it can be cured he can continue with what he has always had. If not I will ask for more help

We acquired our now 11 year old Bichon Friese when his owner died 3 years ago. We were told that he had recently had 14 teeth extracted. His food was Harringtons dried Lamb and Rice so we have carried on with this. Recently he has been taking longer to eat it and 3 days ago totally refused...

When our rescue Cavalier King Charles died we started looking for something similar. We are both in our eighties so looked for an older small dog that would not need long walks, any breed apart from terriers. When our daughter's friend died from cancer and her family could not take her bichon...

Bertie is a 10 year old Bichon Friese. A friend of my daughter owned him for 8 years, but developed cancer and could not care for him properly - we took him a few weeks before she died. I suspect that his last few years with her were very unstructured but he quickly settled with us. He has...

We became the owners of Bertie, an 8 year old Bichon Friese, in March last year when his owner became too ill to look after him. He settled very quickly. My wife has quite severe arthritis which limits her walking so I have been Bertie's daily walker. When my wife feels up to it we both walk...

Thanks everyone - plenty to think about and work on. We have only moved his food bowl once while he was eating, just to compare his reaction to the scavenging mode.

4 weeks ago we took a 7 year old male Bichon Frise Bertie from an owner whose developing cancer prevented her from caring for him properly.We are retired and my wife wanted a replacement for our sadly missed Cavalier King Charles and in many ways Bertie is ideal - "velcro dog" is a good...

We have been clearing out a cupboard and found a box of Pedigree Dentastix dated 2011. Are they still safe to use?
