slingshot82 32 Posted April 28, 2010 Report Share Posted April 28, 2010 I was recommended chappie by a mate for feeding my terriers. I started to feed them it, but every morning I would find 1 of them had shit on the kitchen floor I tried giving them it soaked in water, then tried giving them it dry, even tried feeding at different times of the day. But still every morning there was a turd on the floor . I went back to the food they were previously on and there hasnt been any mess on the floor since Kyle Quote Link to post Share on other sites
watchman 256 Posted April 28, 2010 Report Share Posted April 28, 2010 only ever used it on a saluki/grey pup i had years ago,good healthy pup,or so it seemed,got home and occasionally it was shitting with small amounts of blood in it.after a trip to the vet and a couple of weeks of unnecessary pills,was told to put her on chappie,very good for a young dog with this condition and worked almost immediately,the previous owner obviously feeding it something far to rich/strong whatever, for it,so as i say used it once with good effect Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RossM 8,121 Posted April 28, 2010 Report Share Posted April 28, 2010 i mix a tin of chappie in with the working dog dry food i use (£6.70 for 15kg from makro) never had a problem, stools are hard and of correct colouring, never tried the dry stuff though? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

slingshot82 32 Posted April 28, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 28, 2010 Sorry peeps, its the dry stuff im talking about (complete) Kyle Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Geoff.C 0 Posted April 29, 2010 Report Share Posted April 29, 2010 Sorry peeps, its the dry stuff im talking about (complete) Kyle Sorry mate, as one or two have said already, never used the dry type. Have always found the tinned variety good, and as Kay says, it's great for a dog with a stomach problem. I was at a doggy event once, and there was a dog nutrition talk by a man from Pedigree petfoods. With all the choice he had, he said he recommended and used tinned chappie himself!

waidmann 105 Posted April 30, 2010 Report Share Posted April 30, 2010 i give a dry food in a bowl in the kitchen where they can help themselves(always a different type depending where i go shopping,never over 15 quid a bag though)as well as raw chicken and other stuff. i see it as a bulking food. they are both "in weight" as as fit as the proverbial stringed instruments,faeces varies between dry/boney to "proper jobby".another plus is that dry and bones etc clean the teeth. i don't feed tinned food(the only thing they get that comes out of a tin is fish). waidmann Quote Link to post Share on other sites
CorkyJohn 808 Posted April 30, 2010 Report Share Posted April 30, 2010 Chappie good for dogs for old, sick & dogs with dodgy stomachs. I wouldn't use any tinned dog food as a main for my dogs, look at the water content - generally around %85 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Pignut 4 Posted May 1, 2010 Report Share Posted May 1, 2010 Chappie good for dogs for old, sick & dogs with dodgy stomachs. I wouldn't use any tinned dog food as a main for my dogs, look at the water content - generally around %85 That's what my vet said too. My lurcher (and 2 Patts) have it most days. The lurcher is losing weight (he is 13) so I add a raw egg too plus biccies, obviously. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
