Topic Dog Boards / Feeding / Getting Fussy about food??

Dear All,  I am hoping someone has some advice/answers for me.  My male Staff is now nearly 10 months old.  Over the past couple of months he has started to become selective on his food.  Sometimes he will scoff down frolic without taking a breath, other times he does not want to know, yet if you use a frolic to reward him he'll eat it with almost a smile on his face.  Also he is doing this with his meat meals, and sometimes with his treats he will have them several times and then refuse?  I don't understand is it his age?  he used to eat absolutely everything you put infront of him.

How many meals are you giving him now? maybe you should cut one out?
how is his general health does he look well?

He is on two meals a day.  He is generally healthy, bright eyes, glossy coat; except in the last week he looks like he's starting to get dandruff?

What are you feeding him?
- By Bobbysmum [gb] Date 09.02.04 14:40 UTC
He has frolic or pedegree chum dry mix at lunch and winalot meat in the evening.  But he can refuse to eat his lunch meal and sometimes refuse the meat if it is not Winalot.  Sometimes he will eat his dry food as a treat but not as a meal; we sometimes take it out of his bowl and he'll eat it of our hands?  his feeding behaviour can be a bit strange sometimes.

Why do you not just decide on a diet and feed him that and nothing else; Burns is a great complete dry or Naturediet a complete wet.  Both of these have to be hugely better than frolic and considerably better than Chum?

hi is there a cheaper alternitive good dry food to burns??
- By tohme Date 12.02.04 21:50 UTC
As in all things one generally gets what one pays for; cheaper generally means the quality is poorer.

i would love to feed burns but ant really afford to feed 8 dogs on it though.
