Best Wet Dog Food

[Rafferty]

Hi there,
I wonder if anyone could advise me as to what the best wet dog food is? I believe that many of them are full of sugars and other things that are not good for the dog. Are there any particular brands that are better than others?

I've been told chappie is better than pedigree/bakers/ceasar but would appreciate any advice! My dog is a small breed and is 4 years old (if that makes a difference! )

Thanks

The Butcher's Dog Food range is pretty good.

Hi Rafferty - sorry I can't answer your question as I feed my dog the raw food diet (or BARF - biologically Appropriate Raw Food) as tinned dog food is approx. 78% water. He has lots of raw chicken carcasses and meaty bones (never, ever give cooked bones) plus raw fruit/veggies and most things I eat (again raw) all whizzed up in the blender and given over cooked brown rice/pasta or cooked potatoes. Hope you don't mind me recommending this instead of answering your question but maybe you'll agree with the diet if you check it out on line. Just google in BARF diet.

should have added he gets the raw chicken carcass in the morning then the other stuff in the evening.

I believe that this kind of product is better for your dog.

I suspect that you will get as many different answers as there are posters!
What do you want from the dog food?
Why wet?
Does your dog have digestion or allergy issues?
Does your dog need to lose or gain weight?
Any skin or coat issues?

He's on dry, organic food at the moment but is quite skinny and needs to put on a little weight. were on holiday at the moment and he's been staying with friends and whilst there they've fed him some Organic wet food that he wolfed down. I was just wondering whether it's a good idea to keep him on the wet food if he enjoys it so much more than the dry?

When I got my lurcher,she was underweight and the rescue recommended chappie. Now I give her Forthglade or Natures Menu.

My dog always has wet food and he's 17 now and has no serious health problems. Chappie is good for dogs and I think you'll find that it's recommended by vets. Mine loves Asda's own chicken flavoured dog food which looks nice and meaty.

If he liked what your friends gave him, could you get that? Presumably they could tell you what it is?
