Ice and Cripton Posted July 28, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 28, 2009 Is that Jollyes in Crews Hill? I love that place, although the shop attached to it, Brothers pet store, that sells live animals is where we got our Sky from:eek: Saw her, and felt so sorry for her, total impulse buy! They sell the raw, frozen meat there, so maybe buy that instead of the tinned food, if you have a freezer big enough. You can cook it in the microwave, or feed it raw. Yep thats the one >> we enquired about that and we were going to complain but its been shut down thankfully! And she loves the Chappie >> although it doesn't smell that bad to me???? lol:rolleyes: And thanks Val:o:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaylaR13 Posted July 28, 2009 Report Share Posted July 28, 2009 I just got the same news from my vet that Dakota is under weight. I feed him Taste of the Wild and leave food down for him all the time. My vet told me to mix in 2 tablespoons of cottage cheese in with the dry dog food every day and that should put an inch on him a month. If you wanted to try that maybe call ask your vet if that would work for your Sibe too if you don't like the canned food. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, lamb is great as well for adding weight, so fatty. Gosh, that dog is being fed better than my kids:D And I did catch my 6 year old eating some dry dog food the other day! Said he wanted to see what it tasted like. He doesn't have a taste for the tinned Chappie though - I don't think:eek: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ice and Cripton Posted August 2, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 2, 2009 lol Sarah you deff should NOT try it lol >>> it has a yukki after taste! Yeah Alaska's doing fine, i had to be a bit firm as she is getting a bit picky, so it was just dry food today and she didn't eat a lot so she is probs hungry which means she'll eat properly 2moz;) << which will again be dry food to teach her it isn't gravy and chappie all the way lolz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malamute Posted September 7, 2009 Report Share Posted September 7, 2009 Tuna in oil Always works for Blizzy when he's not hungry, wolfs the lot down. Mind you he weighs over 30Kg. Tuna in oil is also really good for the coats I guess. Smells better than 'fishy' dog food too.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
