MegaSack DRAW - This year's winner is user - rgwb
We will be in touch
Our Saluki cross has gone off his food, which is only Bakers supermarket stuff, but it seems to have done him no harm up to now. I might try giving him a change. What works for your fast pointy dogs? Being able to buy it either in a supermarket/Pets at Home/Jollys would be good.
Feed our fast (but not so pointy) Kelpie on Vitalin "Gold Menu Fussy Eater Diet". Started using it for my previous Kelpie who was a real fussy eater and just carried on. Available from Pets at Home, but not the supermarkets. Seems to be average cost - similar to Bakers.
Lurcher here gets James Wellbeloved or Iams depending if I can get to the feed shop. James Wellbeloved if I can or Iams if I can only get to the supermarket. I usually mix in some wet food like fish or chicken

google that bakers stuff matey. even superstar don;t get reviews THAT bad.
pretty shite food matey, can't go wrong getting almost ANYTHING else.
we rock James Wellbeloved too BTW, deliverd by amazon for free. about £35 for 15kg bags.
Got a bitch whippet and a great big pain in the arse young lurcher dog. They both get fed Arden Grange Lamb & Rice
Here's the deal
There's a little link, 2 x 15kg for 56.98 delivered. This was the best quality/price ratio dog food that I could find
They both love it and are far too healthy for their own good
Our greyhound has hardly any teeth now so we give him [url= http://www.workingdogs.co.uk/index.php ]this stuff[/url]
We also have pro-biotics for the old fella which seems to have gotten him over the worst of his stomach problems. That said his food from this morning is untouched and he has been out in the garden eating grass.
The odd slice of buttered toast or warm pasta also used to do the trick of getting him to eat.
You could also go for reverse psychology of not putting food out and making it a battle of wills.

some warm water and couple of decent spoons of tinned meat
Our Lurcher has Wainwrights its pets at home own brand, its not the cheapest but she eats it. A spoon or two of tinned food goes in as well. Somwtimes she will hardly eat for a day or two think this is just the way they are. If she has cheaper food ( mrs bought a sack of beta once) she shits more.
They generally don't do high protein foods, that is the main thing. Our greyhound was as greedy as our lab so we gave him two smaller meals a day. Any greyhound specific food will have a lower protein level. Don't forget to let their food digest before you exercise them, they are very prone to twisted gut. Do miss our Deerhound what a dog he was.
Bedlington here - James Wellbeloved and some 'raw' meat (comes in frozen blocks, chicken / tripe etc) as a treat. Been the same ever since we've had him (coming on a year now) - we tried various cheaper options to begin with but the adage of sh*t in > sh*t out seems to hold true; seems that fillers and bulking agents mean copious amounts of mess (could go into detail on texture too if you wanted, suffice to say James WB = small, easily pickable poo!) important when the kids share the same garden as the dog...
Not sure if you can get it in the UK but our greyhound Benny has Purina Fido. He's been a bit fussy about what food he gets in the past but wolfs this stuff down and it's reduced the volume of gas we have to live with too. Win win!

Cheers all, Bakers wasn't our choice but it was what he was used to when he came to us as a rescue so we carried on. He did a bit of bin raiding the other day and that has upset his rhythm so a change might put him back on track.

We use bakers as well as ours is a very fussy eater and won't have most of the better types of dog food even though we have tried pretty much everything. We used to give her pedigree better by nature stuff and she loved that too but they have stopped making it which is a drag. Anyone know of anything that is similar to that?

We feed ours Gains dry food mixed with canned sardines or tuna and he loves it. Its bloody cheap to £15 for 15kg bag mail order.
Heres a pic of wallace
