Anyone one feeding their hound pedigree dog biscuits?

Just swaped my 7 month over to pedigree dog biscuits from Royal canine maxi junior. Dog loves the Royal canine, and turns his nose up at most other brands.
He has been laying some scoury shits for the past three days. Thinking the new biscuits aren't agreeing with him.
Today we drove up the beach for a run, we roll in a cruiser, great beach wagons but you share the cab with the dog. He was putting down some of the worst dog farts I've ever had the misfortune to smell! (I've smelt a few) my god Windows down in the rain eye watering gagging! :sick::sick::omg:
The first sold shit I've seen in three days was this evening, but it was a Murawai black sand dog barker, from fetching the decoy this morning all covered in sand.
Hoping it's a temporary adjustment to diet.

Any thoughts?

Sure it was the dog?:D

Try Mighty Mix biscuits. Rate them. Dogs love them Good stools. Coats very good.

Did you introduce the new biscuits gradually changing the quantity? Or finish one bag and opened the other.....change of feed will cause gut upset

Yea true that, it was one bag to the other. Definatly him laying the nasty stools as I have witnessed ( wasn't the abusive neighbour). At least I got some one to blame my farts on, now the kids are old enough to stick up for themselves ;)

we chop and change dog food brands/varieties all the time ( not the cheap brands) but it would be unusual to have your problem. Only time I can recall that happening was with some PAL Meaty Bites (multi coloured biscuits) we brought when we ran out of the prpoer stuff over a long weekend. One dog vomited it up and the other had "explosive runs"

We feed it mixed 50/50 with raw for some of ours, we have issues with them putting on weight so end up changing them back to royal canin weight loss a few times a year, haven't quite got the balance right.
Going from high quality to basic dog food will give you what you have, you end up feeding more over time and the dumpage is pretty much the same as what you feed in. Similar to feeding tux.

I think I might 50/50 the pedigree bag I have with some Royal canine till the gut comes right.

Local vet recons some of the cheaper brands are higher in salts which can give them the squirts.

I tried that, my husky could sort biscuits she would eat from those she wouldn't on "the fly" she would spit the SD out while swallowing the others. I mixed a bag of Royal Canin (which she would eat) with a bag of Science Diet.
She always left an empty bowl with a pile of SD biscuits beside it.

BUT you can buy your Dogfood from here and get free delivery and a good discount for regular order and they often send further discount coupons.

Cheers Mikee I'll have a look

There is nothing cheap about those prices @mikee Hell, those are more expensive than buying from the vet even with the 'free freight'...

when i got my dog (dogo cross bull terrier)_ he had been starved and abused by the previous owner. (good job he wasnt there at pickup time) i fed him on rabbit meat for awhile. after awhile tried him on various dry foods till i decided on coprice. seems to work. had him for 6+ years and he is doing well, well apart from the fact the kitten is boss and he loves bichons and poodles to play with.
either way its good food just dont feed too much

We must have dofferent vets then cause their prices are cheaper than any vet here + animates..

we get it a lot cheaper at the vets, and even cheaper with breeders rate.............go to another vets

We been buying from animates on special which has been cheaper than the vet. Royal canine maxi Jnr 20kg for around $120 from memory. But all ways on the look out for a deal.

Lots of options with dog foods and lots of opinions, end of the day the dogs dictate what works....

The advice to transition between foods is solid (pardon the pun)

I am and Jazz does really well on it, I mix the flavours and often add hot water or gravy. I also substitute this with dog roll and scraps

After the initial puppy feed to one year, and an initial stuff-up with NutriPlus, I moved to mighty Mix for the food.
Tremendous stuff - highly recommend it.

Pooch seems to have recovered from the change of tucker by yesterday. Firmed up. Was getting a bit worried after seeing he had power chundered everywhere on Tuesday arvo, not sure what caused this.
He must have been hungry after though cause he knawded 2" of the old wooden dining chair leg on the back door step!

That's not hunger! :omg:

Keep an eye on him.

No Boredum I think Ruff. (The chewing) He's been stuck in the yard for a couple of days. I hadn't had the chance to get him out for a decent run with a bunch of commitments compounding up.
Got him out late yesterday for a decent run, meet some other older bitches out, and he had a ball messing around with them. Different dog today, quite content.
Where off up the Forrest tomorrow with the kids for a bit of a walk, see if we can walk him onto a deer. ( if the young fella doesn't winge so much they all hear us coming, he sounds like a wounded honey badger after a couple of kms)

Spewing is rarely a mediocre condition in any dog. (Unless they eat it afterwards!!! :D )

Gahahaha save on dog food. Man they are critters at times. Young fella was horrified a few weeks ago to see one of his ninjaco Lego man mummified in a dog turd when he was doing his chores shovelling the shit up of the lawn

Why did you change food, if Royal canin was doing the job why the change, personally I wouldn't feed pedigree dog biscuits, mine are mostly on a raw diet, was it a cost thing ?
If you join the Royal canin breeders club you get the food quite a bit cheaper, eg Pet co has Royal canin maxi junior for $ 136.66 for 16 kilos, the breeders club is $104. Actually while I was looking at the royal canin I see that they have Endurance 4800 20 kilo bags for $123 however for this month they have 15% of the endurance so a 20 kilo bag will be $104.55 that's a pretty good deal , milght just pop back to the site and order a few bags.

Yea change was a cost thing, The Royal canine seems like the goods though. The pedigree was a balls up, won't be getting them again. The two types are at opposite ends of the price scale. Will have to suss a happy middle ground.
Dog gets a bit of a mix biscuit and meat, scraps etc to keep it interesting.

Yep purina 1 good tucker for my gwp. would recommend.:thumbsup:

i feed mine on coprice, get it from the feed store. sure cut down on his turd size.
he also gets scraps and rabbit meat, normally he catches his own bunnies, when these jaws clamp down there is no escape !

hey there are no biscuit trees in the bush lamb briscuits could be a spell o there work it out per kilo and you might
find raw could be cheeper

We put our greyhound on coprice working dog after having him on nutrience which was blardy expensive and made him fart like a cannon, he now dosent smell and is healthier
