    Cop rice dog food

    What's your thoughts on this food. Any good? Iv a heading/staffy that's 10 months old and he won't gain weight easy. I have increased his food but that just makes him shit more.....
    Iv bought a bag of working dog food to try bulk him up a little
    Will it need supplementing with anything? He gets meat and bone a bit too?
    Ta if you have any advice

    Possum meat is quite good for fattening dogs up since it's really fatty. I heard some one in Cambridge is selling dog roll that has possum in it called possyum.

    We only feed biscuits to ours, but in saying they they are somewhat gold plated biscuits

    What "working dog food: did you buy?
    All those with dogs waiting no longer fear death. Those with many dogs waiting even welcome it in it's time.

    Gaining weight is one thing but getting fat is another. Il have to manage his intake and not turn him into a blubberguts

    it's cheap and the only way to get anything out of it is to feed heaps.

    just got one of ours over some pretty heavy medical bills and she was very under weight.

    took a bit on board from some of tussocks ramblings and had good results from the high end royal canin endurance which bulked her up 5kg in two weeks and gave her enough in the tank when the second lot of infection hit, she is all good now and I have done a litter of pups on there puppy mix, and will use that endurance when the season starts.
    my advise spend the extra on a decent feed.

    we used to feed our husky this when she was running in a mates dog team.

    It is really good stuff, not cheap but good. Been feeding our mob "Adiction" brand lately as its grain free and works out more cost effective and is delivered to your door free as well.

    I use eukanuba premium performance to feed my poochy.
    Not cheap but very good, and she loves it.
    A mate put me onto it a while back and he swears by it and the difference in the dog was noticeable pretty quick, better energy, coat and temperament improved.
    I get it from my local vet here in alex
    Ya can't park there mate.
