Thread: Cop rice dog food

What's your thoughts on this food. Any good? Iv a heading/staffy that's 10 months old and he won't gain weight easy. I have increased his food but that just makes him shit more.....
Iv bought a bag of working dog food to try bulk him up a little
Will it need supplementing with anything? He gets meat and bone a bit too?
Ta if you have any advice

Possum meat is quite good for fattening dogs up since it's really fatty. I heard some one in Cambridge is selling dog roll that has possum in it called possyum.

Yeah I did see that today at sharps. Might try it after giving the new biscuits a fair few weeks first tho.

We only feed biscuits to ours, but in saying they they are somewhat gold plated biscuits

What "working dog food: did you buy?

I'm told farmlands has it too. Also told its fatning.

Gaining weight is one thing but getting fat is another. Il have to manage his intake and not turn him into a blubberguts

it's cheap and the only way to get anything out of it is to feed heaps.

just got one of ours over some pretty heavy medical bills and she was very under weight.

took a bit on board from some of tussocks ramblings and had good results from the high end royal canin endurance which bulked her up 5kg in two weeks and gave her enough in the tank when the second lot of infection hit, she is all good now and I have done a litter of pups on there puppy mix, and will use that endurance when the season starts.
my advise spend the extra on a decent feed.

high end royal canin endurance

we used to feed our husky this when she was running in a mates dog team.

It is really good stuff, not cheap but good. Been feeding our mob "Adiction" brand lately as its grain free and works out more cost effective and is delivered to your door free as well.

My working dogs get mighty mix the frozen stuff and fatty brisket at this time of year the lazy ones become a bit obvious quickly.

Go to the butcher and see it you can get trim.

i feed my lab cross on cop rice working dog keeps him in good all round condition but he does get a lot of work
i started off on cop rice puppy and feed him that for 1 year then went on to working dog as it has more fat then the family dog
i also give him a 150 gm slice of chunky dog roll

mighty mix is a good dog food

I use eukanuba premium performance to feed my poochy.
Not cheap but very good, and she loves it.
A mate put me onto it a while back and he swears by it and the difference in the dog was noticeable pretty quick, better energy, coat and temperament improved.
I get it from my local vet here in alex

Mighty mix!
