Many Thanks for the info HopeRosie!!! :)

I know my simple pole on this topic is only a brief insight...but it's strange Burns is leading...but a few dogs don't seem to get on with it. I guess it just proves no 2 dogs are the same, there is no right answer....all you can do is ask advice and make up your own mind.....then cross your...

If I went down the JWB route...do you mix it with anything or just feed it as is? Any advice on what would be a good flavour to put him on to? Do you find the JWB keeps the coat nice, or would I still need to add extra oil? Many Thanks, Matt

Thanks for the tip, but unfortunately they don't have any stores in wales :(

Have you any experience with the Beef one, as I bought the variety multipack that they do, and the Beef seems to make him a bit smelly :oops: In what sort of quantity do you feed the pouches? Have you found a cheaper supplier than PAH? Thanks, Matt

Hi, Do you mean the same natures menu pouches I bought in PAH? What mixer do you use? How did you work out how much of the pouch/mixer to give? Thanks for the help, Matt

Thanks for the reply...do you mix the Nature Diet with anything...or feed on its own? How much do you give per day? Have you found any flavours better than others? Regards, Matt

Sorry...just testing my updated profile picture... Doesn't seem to show it :unsure:

I'm off to our local PAH this afternoon...so fingers crossed I can make sense of the various packaging and pick a winning formula :thumbsup: I'll have a look at the Cod Liver Oil while I'm there. Cheers for the tip! Many Thanks for everyones thoughts...i'm still not sure what to do, but...

I thought I'd add the Poll, to see what the split is on people feeding dry complete brands to their whippets...might be interesting.

Thanks....a bit more thinking and reading to do on my part before I decide. It's interesting that PAH recommend a product, and no-one on here recommends it...would this indicate a hole in the market or are these forums read more by whippet owners who feed BARF???

Hi, do you mean you gave up Burns as you wanted to put on extra weight or due to the dandruff problem? I did try initally giving him slightly bigger feeds of Burns, but he refused to eat the extra...lol I'm torn on what is best to try at the minute...Arden Grange or look into the Eukanuba that...

Is Arden Grange seen to be a better dry complete diet over Burns? I originally started him on the Burns as they are a local company and he seemed to enjoy it. He first had the puppy bites, then went onto the adult chicken. The chicken Burns seemed to make him very smelly, so after trying a few...

Thanks for the replies... If I try him on the Arden Grange, how do I slowly change his diet, as at the minute he is having half a pouch of Natures Menu and a good handful of Burns twice a day. Should I phase out the Burns, then add the Arden Grange...or stop the Natures Menu first???? I'm...

Thanks for the advice, the pouches seem to be quite good in terms of meat content etc. and unfortunately we are not in a position to prepare fresh food everyday due to lack of freezer space etc... I would like to feed the natures menu, or an equivalent, but cannot afford 2 pouches a day...

Hi, i'm hoping i can pick a few brains and get some advice on changing Dylan's diet. I have decided to do this as he has been on Burns Lamb & Rice, but he could do with putting on a little more weight and he seems to have a slight dandruff problem. The vet has checked him over, and gave him the...

Unfortunately my boy has suffered with this problem aswell...and under the vets advice I had him castrated last week. The vet did check him on a few occasions prior to the op, but waited until he was a year old before operating. The stitches come out on friday....just keeping my fingers...

Hi, I originally posted this in the whippet forum, but then thought it maybe more appropriate here... One thing I can't work out (if someone knows the answer that would be great), when you are 'shaping a behaviour' do you have to click for that behaviour every single time you see your dog do...

Cool...i'll be giving it a try soon...was going to pop out and get the Karen Pryor kit (seems to look the best)...but can't find any local shops that stock it (I'm near Llanelli in South Wales if anyone knows somewhere that stocks it???)...I guess I'll have to order it online and be patient :(...

I'll give it a try over the coming week...when you start clicker training do you still stick to short (5-10mins) sessions, or do you click on the required behaviour all the time??? Many Thanks
