I can only go on experience, and this was my old collie lab cross’s favourite. he made it to 16 1/2, and 15 of those years were in perfect health. My current cocker spaniel cockerpoo and Staffy absolutely love it. All are thriving, with beautiful shiny coats and plenty of energy. I will continue feeding the stuff, as in the real world, my dogs are happy and healthy on it.

Has anyone noticed a change in quality of tinned chappie …. Sometimes it’s soft and sometimes it’s dry and hard to scoop out of tin regardless of flavour. Also my dogs appear to be reacting to something and only thing changed is consistency of chappie any thoughts?

I have noticed the same thing. Both of my dogs are on a mix of wet and dry Chappie complete, and they've both had episodes of sickness at least once a week.

This food is the epitome of junk food. Practically all carbs and very little protein which dogs need. All those 'derivitives' is a huge warning sign and is just another name for by-products, hooves beaks etc The 'nutritional' value from this food is vitamins added. It is a food full of 'fillers' and very little else. Shameful.

Well I am surprised! My Jack Russell, nearly 16 yrs old and well travelled over 3 continents, and has become really fussy with food especially in his old age, has found a new lease on life with Chappie. He doesn't sleep as much, has more energy, and is able to climb and go down stairs that he hasn't been able to do before....good surprise. Not what I expected after he's been turning his nose up at some of the most expensive brands. Oh and well formed stools too.

The amount of cereals and lack of meat in this so called food is shameful. Perfect duck feed.

I have a 9 Yr old Labrador whom has had Chappie since a pup recommended by 2 Vets as gets Gastro problems now and then.Our Vets have changed owners and now suggesting Royal Canin at £4.10 a tin with 4 a day We are Pensioners and this even on perception can not be claimed on his Insurence Can anyone tell me what is the difference between the two

This is the only food I’ve found that doesn’t set off my dog’s colitis. It was recommended by the vets after he kept having really runny, bloods stools with lots of mucus every three weeks. But after 6 months of Chappie we’ve not had that at all. After seeing the really low rating on here I felt really guilty so tried him on a very highly rated, protein-heavy different dry food - big mistake! Three times the price and we still have 11kg left because his stomach just wouldn’t settle on it. We now give him a mix of dry and tinned Chappie and his digestion is great again. He’s recently had both knees replaced (injuries occurred before we put him in Chappie) so he also gets a YuMove supplement, but his recovery was fine on Chappie and now he gets a glowing health report from the vets.

this is very interesting I have had many dogs for over 45 years, mainly rescue dogs, worked for a Vet for 10 of those years & fed all my dogs on Chappie both Dry & Tinned upon Veterinary advise. I once had a GSD who suffered from anxiety resulting in an overactive bowel & diarrhoea with blood, the only food she could eat & stay well on was Chappie. All of my dogs have led a very active life well into old age so even though this site gives it a very low rating I have to say I'll stick with a product that I know works !!

It's interesting that this has only been given a one star rating by the experts as this is food I was advised to put my dog on by my vet and was recommended by the nutritionist at the pet store I purchase it from. I had a similar experience to Fraser with my collie x husky suffering terrible diarrhoea with blood in it. I was being charged a lot of money for 'inconclusive' test results and feeding him very expensive 'high quality' food prescribed by the vet. Eventually I changed to a different veterinary practice and was advised to try Chappie as it is basically only 2 ingredients with no additives. Marley and me have never looked back.

I have to stick up for Chappie. My last Gt Dane had pancreatitis and had to be on a diet of less than 8% fat - Chappie was the only food I could find so low in fat and it was recommended by my vet. I would mix it with lean chicken and leftover veg and she got on very well with it. I've kept my other Dane on it (with leftovers) until recently and she's always been fit and healthy, touch wood. I've only changed her to a 'better', more expensive food as she's now 9 and I think she could probably do with more protein, vitamins, etc. The only thing I would mention is that since they changed the recipe (and shape) a year or so ago, my poor Dane had terrible wind!! Thankfully it's nowhere near so bad with her new food (Eden)!

As an update to my last comment posted about 1 1/2 years ago when I had recently - and very gradually - moved my Dane over to Eden... well she didn't get on with that at all. She very quickly went off it and for the first time in her life started turning her nose up at her food. About six weeks later she got bloat (GDV) for no apparent reason. Despite being an old lady for a Dane (9 1/2), she thankfully survived the op and my vet suggested I put her back on the Chappie as she'd got on so well with it. So much for my good intentions! Of course, I can't say for sure the new food was to blame but once back on Chappie (with added leftovers), she started enjoying her food once again and never had another problem with her diet. Sadly we lost her recently, just short of her 11th birthday, but it was due to old age. She'd had no other health problems all her life. Just thought I should add this to my last comment.
