how many tins a day for a 44kg dog

I think Chappie Original is the best one for gastric problems.
Charlotte Delcore 10 months ago
I have a 9 month old bichon frise. I started her off on raw, she hated it. Then butternut box, hated it. Then YEARS which is ranked highest and actually does smell good enough to eat. Its nutritionally excellent. However, my poor baby has had hormone problems and has been sick and off her food, she wasn't a massive eater to begin with. The anxiety and upset seeing her so poorly has consumed our lives and its like having a child you worry for because they're not eating. I went into the pet shop and they recommended Chappie. Got home gave her a small portion of the chicken and rice in a tin. Astounded she even begged for more. Overnight she's back to normal in herself. Yes, it's clear this is not good food nutritionally but let's be kind to one another as clearly from the comments it's saved a lot of people's mental health as well as their dogs guts. In the 80s we had Dobermans who were all fed on Pedigree Chum, one living until she was 12. Which is unheard of. I don't know if I'll go full time on this but I'll definitely use it when she's poorly or as a treat, it's probably like having them a cream cake v a granola bar to them! Go Chappie I say!

Hi how is it going with chappie? My boy has chronic pancreatitis and IBD. It’s been a nightmare trying to find a food that will help. Awful acid reflux. I’m starting chappie original tins today as suggested by my vet

Had anyone elses dog had bad acid reflux in chappie, it has taken me years of trying different dog foods from the most expensive, raw, freeze dried, fresh and everything in between, chappie is the first food that has stopped their diarrhea and produce firm stools, but the downside they suffer terrible nausea and reflux?

Everytime my dog has this she poos out little brown hard seeds, anybody know what these are?
DonnaR Dawn Nicholls one year ago
Mine are pooping out yellow seeds I think it must be the high carbs in it

Hi. I have to feed my dog chappie kibble all the time now as she suffers badly with pancreatis and upset stomachs She used to eat all different brands from highly priced to low prices and we could not pinpoint what the cause was and if any foods were good for her. Also the ingredients are so baffling As I thought high protein was better for them fill them up more satisfied.... but harder for them to lose weight . The kibbles with less protein I'm thinking we'll is there anything in it that's nutritious and is it going to be enough for her .. Am I feeding her just filler and rubbish and not getting anything to benefit her I don't want to deprive my dog She is hungry all the time More so in the evening Any help much appreciated

Just feed her what works - what stops her being ill. Stop worrying about it. The stuff we used to feed to dogs back in the 80s was way worse than anything around now and they were just fine. The entire dog industry is now set up to make owners worry. You can try adding in a bit of high protein/low carb food, along with the Chappie, if you really want to and see how she gets on. Do it slowly though. Don't substitute more than say 1/5th of the bowl at a time and wait a few days to see the results.

The price of this has shot up recently. Six cans cost from £6 - £9 in a multi pack of 6. The availability has dropped with only a few stores having any stock. Chappie tinned dog food is now more expensive than better quality brands. I keep it in stock for when my lurcher has an upset stomach and is off his food. It is comparatively cheaper to buy chicken breasts and rice and boil them up instead!

Our female boxer dog Dusty has pancreatitis so i decided nothing but the best for Dusty.. it didnt matter what the cost. Nothing worked.. our vet suggested Chappie.. i wont even say what my reaction was... Well.. Dusty is now loving life.. loves the stuff.. she cant get enough and she is looking great... so have an open mind... its not always about price 😍

Many years ago my mums westie had diabetes and was having food from the vet. She saw a different vet on one occasion who told her to feed chappie and save some money. The dog lived well into her teens, despite the diabetes. I have had my dog on all kinds of expensive foods and even now cook for him myself but always had chappie in for after any upset tummy’s. I decided recently to save time and cost for cooking myself that I would give him a mix of my food and chappie and he love it. Does whiff a bit though lol. He also gets the odd extra bit of a good quality high meat kibble if he’s done a lot of exercise.

I've been reading the comments about crappie and I’m amazed that some people are so nasty about this dog food, I'm a qualified dog nutritionist and dog groomer. I've always owned collies Rough and working border collies. Rough collies have the worst digestive system along with gsd. My experience of rough collies is that crappie is the only food that doesn't run through them apart from kibble. I've had show collies on chappie and their coats were in excellent condition, chappie has mostly fish in it which is the reason it's good for runny tummies. My present dog is a border but she needs grain free and has a sensitive digestive system so she does great on royal canon and yes chappie no runny poo and no itchy skin, I do give her a tablespoon cod liver oil also daily

Helsblack 2 years ago
As long as you store it in the fridge for less than 5-7 days it should be fine

As a fosterer for the brilliant Many Tears Rescue I know that this is their remedy for dodgy tummies. As a raw feeder after doing Canine Nutrition study I too tend to turn my nose up at what my mum used years ago. BUT! My terrier gets pancreatitis and I manage a low fat diet which includes whitefish. Chappie is always in reserve for when she has a "turn". Using it now for my 11yr old collie lurcher with colitis and it works but I want to work around it to vary the cereals.

I agree

Hi I have just started my dog on chappie original and mixer, I have tried several dry food since I had her as a small pup, she will eat most brands, through from cheap supermarket own brands, pedigree, James Wellbeloved, Burns, Eden, we've done normal, hypoallergenic and most recently grain free, we've done chicken, beef, duck, lamb and fish varieties, we've done profibre, yogurt, boiled eggs, pobiotics, I've tried feeding less, and after over a year of trying all these things, and more besides, her poo still isn't very good.
From googling images of dog poo I have narrowed the problem down to a small intestine problem.
Has anybody else got or had a problem like this, or know anyone else who has, or could give me suggestions on what to try next.
She is a 16 month spayed show cocker, she is a good weight and is healthy enough in herself, but her poo's are hard to pick up,

My dog had severe problems. The vet recommended royal canin gastrointestinal vetinary low fat dry food (there is a non low fat version too but fats can cause rapid movement through a dogs system). It's worth a try but let your vet know. Good luck x.
