Well I was intending on giving acana and the ziwi wet stuff but some people said I should feed just the ziwi.
Im thinking it wont be that expensive so I guess it will depending on how long a tin lasts them.
Jake cant eat much wet food at once though as he eats it too quick and throws it back up
Ah I confuse myself to much with what I should be feeding lol

Isn't the dry food a little less expensive? Could you not feed wet and dry ziwi?

Yeh i hadnt realised it was a bit cheaper. Dont think i will be able to feed ziwi though it works out at like £2 a day to feed mine on it :/

Bones

That looks quite good as well, the other 1 i saw was natural instinct. But i like that with ziwipeak they can alternate between the air dried stuff and the tinned moist stuff, and give bones too as im not quite confident enough to change them onto the raw diet. I prefer jake to eat mainly dry food because he can only eat a small amount of meat at a time otherwise he throws it back up as he eats too quick (those bowls that are supposed to help are too big so he can get through the nobble bits in it lol)

Natural instinct is like a mince with everyjing in you need a lot of freezer space but it's pretty good just bone heavy!
Have you tried putting a ball
In his food so he has to move around it to eat his food???

Natural instinct looks quite cheap to feed too, this field spaniel at work had half a pack a day so i presume mine would need a lot less, and i can feed them bones too? Haven't thought about trying that, i'll see if it works

Yes with natural instinct you get the benefits of raw but not the teeth cleaning so they would need raw meaty bones a few times a week. It is a very high boned food 20% when the diet only calls for 10% so u would personally add extra meat!! You feed 2-3% of their adult body weight (if they need to lose weight it's of their ideal weight) and adjust as necessary  the natural instinct packs are 1kg! Rachel uses it to feed 5 dogs idk how much she feeds them tho or how long it lasts |
