Topic Dog Boards / Feeding / Pedigree puppy food (meat)

Why oh why did Pedigree change the sales packs of their puppy food.  It seems that we are now only able to buy this in packs of three assorted flavours.  We never have success with anything other than Chicken and Rice and yet have to buy Original and Lamb in order to get the Chicken.

We currently have a seven week old litter and have weaned them with puppy porridge (wonderful) but lastweek indroduced meat.  Within minutes they wolfed down the Chicken and Rice but take hours and hours over the others.  Today I tried Original and after four hours of crying and somewhat hungry puppies gave to the bitch and gave them freshly cooked chicken which they loved.

I just don't know what to do .... they need puppy food for the vitamins and yet they refuse.  My Cavaliers have never done well on dried diet so this is not an option.  Any ideas welcomed.  We have a store room with masses of tinned puppy food which the puppies won't eat.

Until I solve this I am going back a step to puppy porridge supplemented with fresh chicken.

I have approached Pedigree about this on a few occasions as I know many years ago, you could buy a tray of any flavour, now you can only get mixed (& a waste of packaging too) - this is their reason.
I was told that most big supermarkets will only stock 1 puppy product for them, therefore a varity mixed pack is their 1 product.
I then questioned why they don't then do trays of single flavours for breeders, to be sold only at specialist outlets & not in supermarkets & do you know what I was told? ~ that they would then have to pay people to unpack the packaging to do single flavours??
Yep I'm as confused as you. :(
