Stick it in the bin best place for it  :nono:
The vets wants you to use it as he/she makes mega buck on this crap.
As Laura said the best is a natural diet if not Burns is one of the best.

You'll have a much healthier dog if you feed raw/natural and won't have to go to the vet so often and be pestered into buying that crap!!!  ;D

as willow is only 8 weeks old if we changed her food how do we do it? can we change over straight away or gradually change it.

I would like to give her the best start and do the raw diet but i dont know too much about it so think i will try the burns but when i have learnt more about the raw i think we will introduce it.
 ;D

The hills as made its way to the bin  :laugh:

she has pedigree complete dry food and meat twice a day morn n teatime, for lunch she has rice pudding and scrambled egg and supper just the dry biscuits, which she rarely bothers about..
We have just been following the diet sheet given to us by the breeder, but we had read on one of the post that pedigree isnt great so wanted to change as soon as we could. plus she isnt eating all we put down weather we put too much or she is still settling  :-\ . her weight is good though so not too worried at the moment.

my Echo was switched to raw at 8 weeks the day after we got her from the breeder. she is now a happy, healthy, cheeky 10 month old.

no upset tummys or anything with us.
