Anybody on here give me advice on what is best to feed him , I’ve been feeding him beta junior with half a tin of tinned stuff and it’s giving him the shits most of time , any advice on something I could give him as it’s a pain in the arse picking up shit that’s came out through the eye of a needle 

He may be intolerant to grain, there's a lot of grain free options out there from barf to dry.

there are allot of experts on feeding lurchers but a decent complete is plenty good enough for most knockabout dogs, imho.

He caught a rabbit the other day and since then he’s wanting to chase everything , I’m not saying he’s going to be a world beater or anything like that but he is definitely keen on anything that moves 

Well done mate

Been feeding Millies Wolfheart peak performance with a good quality raw meat. Dogs looking well & running well on it, holds his weight perfect as well. It’s pricey but you can’t expect them to give 100% if you’re not doing the same for them.

I'll second that. I found my dogs kept great condition on a mix of good quality complete and raw, including a couple of pounds of green tripe

If he has the shits it's likely his body is rejecting something and flushing his system with fluids, there's lots of good and bad diets out there but I don't think that's the issue, it's more likely you need to remove some ingredients.

I eat more than my share of bad food but still have good shits ( king Kong's finger) however if I get the shits it's usually something specific that disagrees or a stomach bug.

Gonna have to look at something mate cheers

Always got a few tubes of this in the house sorts out the shits etc, especially handy for young dogs that eat all sorts

Make sure it’s summat that do able. Pointless starting dog off on poached salmon am freshly cooked spinach rice to settle its stomach then figure out you can’t afford it anymore, find summat decent an preferably raw that you can get constantly, or stock up, last deerhound x I had didn’t like eating lots a dry food yet due to his size an work load he needed it, yet he would wolf raw down by the barrow load, use some decent live yoghurt an that over it an the dog be fine, do the best you can tho as a growing dog like that needs as much as possible an for al o don’t like them, a decent dry will give it everything, so the better you can get again the better

I don't like complete either but it plenty good enough for most dogs just  mooching and odd nights on the lamp, most dogs don't get worked hard enough to need more elaborate diet ,once they done growing, t will be the tin stuff that give it the shits.

Get used to feeding hime some raw tripe a couple of times a week regularly mate. Watch his coat and skin improve, and him gain some nice weight pretty quickly. You'll get over the smell pretty quickly.
