We have an 19 month old boxer and feed him on Chudleys Working Crunch. This stuff is great, 15kg bag for £11 Mix with cooled boiled water and it gravy's up on it's own.

Mine sometimes turns her nose up at her snap, because there's no goodies mixed in. It stays there until she eats it, be it a day or so. Don't pussy foot around with them Wink

If it's a gravy mix it's best avoided to much salt is a bad thing as said it's best not to pander to much to her she will eat if she is hungry.if all else fails natural stock i.e chicken will do the trick. It's also advisable not to vary her normal food, and if you have to do it gradually or you may have to clear up the result! Shocked
