Mrs B Posted January 29, 2007 Report Share Posted January 29, 2007 This is one of those friend of a friend situations .................... A hyper 18 month neutered male Staffie is being fed on Bakers - the suggestion today that Bakers might not be the best thing for him to be fed has been taken on board - but the question has come back, "what do you suggest instead?" I do think they will listen to advice on what to feed, and are also listening to the suggestion that they might need some training help. Can anyone suggest foods that I might recommend to them? I know the better types of dry foods generally, but just wondered if Staffie owners might have some particular favourites. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boosboss Posted January 29, 2007 Report Share Posted January 29, 2007 I've switched to Autarky, similar to James Wellbeloved and Boo (part staffie) loves it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs Mop Posted January 29, 2007 Report Share Posted January 29, 2007 My Staffie cross is fed on Burgess Sensitive, it is 20% and is mainly lamb and rice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allie No Dots Posted January 29, 2007 Report Share Posted January 29, 2007 The above are good or nutro and naturediet. Bakers will turn a staffy into a real monkey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phoenix21 Posted January 29, 2007 Report Share Posted January 29, 2007 my staffie is on JWB and she does well on it with nice shiny coat and not too hyper - i mix hers with chappy so it tastes better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs B Posted January 29, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 29, 2007 Thanks for all your help guys. Love the suggestion that Bakers + Staffies = Monkies! I've passed that one on! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muriel Posted January 30, 2007 Report Share Posted January 30, 2007 If she was really adventurous, real food is of course best Burns is another dry one with no additives, there's also Naturesmenu and Forthglade, both similar to Naturediet, ie meat, rice, veg wet.

StaffieLover Posted January 30, 2007 Report Share Posted January 30, 2007 (edited) My staffies (1 is pure, 1 is staffyxlab) and both my rotties are raw fed - never had any problems with any of them - coats are shiny, tails are waggy and they are healthy and happy. Lynn *edited to add: I get their meat from Landywoods - cant sing their praises enough! Edited January 30, 2007 by StaffieLover Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mrs B Posted January 30, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2007 Well both of mine are raw fed - but I suspect that this might be one step too far as a suggestion for these folks! Just about to ring to find out what time my Landywoods delivery's coming today - although this is the third date I've been given for delivery this month - but that's another story as they say!

Mrs Mop Posted January 30, 2007 Report Share Posted January 30, 2007 Some dogs are alergic to raw meat, Joe is, and a friend who's dog was fed raw right from the beginning by his breeder, is also now alergic to raw meat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JACKYSIAN Posted January 30, 2007 Report Share Posted January 30, 2007 Before I changed my lot to raw (2 of which are staffie x's), they all had Wagg Complete with tripe rolls (Lidl cheap as chips!!) and were fine on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs Mop Posted January 30, 2007 Report Share Posted January 30, 2007 I used to feed Wagg, did so for many years then one day Joe had a seizure, and the next, and the next and when I looked at the bag of Wagg, they had changed it but there was no notification that they had done this. Some of the new ingredients were what Joe is alergic to. This was when I went and found Burgess Sensitive, and my dogs have been a lot better on it.

staffymad Posted January 31, 2007 Report Share Posted January 31, 2007 Your friend needs to keep a close eye on any weight loss. Many staffies I know are a tad sensitive to red meat and/or poultry, my boy is. He is fed on Wainwrights Salmon and patatoe and thrives on it, nice coat, skin and poo and no weight loss. Ruby Boo is on Natures Menu senior and light because of worn down teeth she can't handle dry every day. Both also get veggies and fish (tuna, sardines and mackrel) Cindy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
