Up until recently I have been feeding my dogs Wagg Worker, partly because they like it, partly because they seemed to do well on it & partly because it's cheaper than a lot of others. (Worker is typically £11.50 for a 17kg bag, normal Wagg is about £9.50 for a 9kg bag) Anyway, I've been having behaviour problems with Betsy, she's been very destructive when I've gone out & left her. I don't leave her very much, perhaps an hour 3 days a week, occasionally 2 hours, but never more than that. Pansy is no bother at all, she just settles down & sleeps, it's just Betsy that's the problem. So, I tried switching food, & put them both on normal Wagg a couple or three weeks ago. I wondered if the Worker mix perhaps had too much protein, or too high calorie ratio, thus creating lots of energy. It's taken a few weeks, but I think Betsy is getting better. I've just been for a swim, I was out for about an hour & a half & she's been fine. She was ok yesterday when I went to do a bit of shopping too. Is it possible that the food is the solution? Or is she just growing up a bit & realising that knocking chairs over, eating CDs, candles, shoes & clothing is not the thing to do?
