    Might Mix Kibble

    Gidday all

    Anyone out there feed there hounds mighty mix kibble?

    Been feeding it to mine for years but have noticed over the last few months they gone off it. Pup that eats it still scoffs it down, but she eats anything. Eldest dog barely eats it at all and im often throwing it out, second eldest will eat a little bit then trot off and do her thing. She will eat it but slowly through the day etc... Same for the rest.

    Wondering if they might have changed the recipe as they all used to hoover it down?

    Either way im going to have to switch to something else as they're not eating it and all been loosing condition.

    Ask your wife to make you a jam sandwich for lunch for 12months Our house dogs get a bit of mixed food in there diet just to give them a change. Biscult's, veny scrapes, left over cooked veges, bits of mutton and chicken necks from the super market every now and then

    we feed chunky dog roll purchased from likes of farmlands.... doesnt need to sit in fridge, dogs get same amount each night and 1 roll lasts for 6 feeds eg 2 dogs x 3 days. have fed pretty much only this for last 3 years... we get maybe 3 craps on lawn for a day so not huge issue (although some huge craps at times LOL) dogs coats are shiney and they healthy.
    you could try a bit of it for variety..... its a right bastard when they change recipe.

    Same here. i also search out short dated bags of biscuits, currently dogs are on Bison ( Biscuits) as I got a few bags way way cheaper than their normal price.
    We are lucky in that chopping and changing brands/types does not have any unpleasant effects on their poo

    Cool, thanks all. Will give the hot water thing a whirl. Bit odd that they all seem to have gone off it all at once, hence me thinking something had changed in the recipe. Can't afford them loosing condition coming into winter so will likely switch to tux energy next month.

    copped rice dog food

    i feed my dogs copped rice biscuits and a bit of chunky dog roll started them on the copped rice puppy food for first 12 months as recommended then changed to the working dog formula along with the odd possum and you can change to the family dog formula if not working them much and starting to get to fat
    you can only buy this from the commercial stores like farmlands ,RD1 ect
    dogs look good shiny coats heaps of energy what more could you ask for
