An excellent food. I have brought up 2 dogs on it with no problems, in fact it has solved the problems.

I have recently started to give my dog two tins of Chappie a week, just so he has a change of food a couple of days a week! Bruce loves it, it's great for his tummy!
I can't say about dried Chappie as not tried it.

My vet recommended I use this for one of my dogs when telling me to change to tinned food. I think it's fantastic stuff, my dog loves it, it's made by vets, recommended by most vets for dodgy tums, and what comes out the other end is fine by me, perfect poo's! I've now started mixing it with some wet trays, but I'd be happy to stick with it on its own too.

I saw the vet nurse recommend it to someone over hills s/d for her dog , she went up in my estimation after that...
Wonder what the price difference would have been ...

I'm just trying Mya on this now, she needs to lose weight and someone recommended it. I'm slowly mixing it in with her regular dry food and no problems so far, we've got the dry chicken.
Fingers crossed

It's better than the other cheap foods imo but it wouldn't be my first choice of food.

Tinned Chappie Original is literally a life saver where our Chessie is concerned, nothing else worked and he had become a skeleton.
He's been on it now for 5 years and is the picture of health

I use original tinned chappie plus omega original for mine and they do very well on it, well formed poo, nice coats, plenty of energy.

One of mine is rice intolerant so I don't use the chicken and rice.

Any tummy troubles I drop the omega and just use Chappie for a day or two.

My vet recommends it for dog with delicate tummys.

When one of mine was ill recently and vomiting blood the (very expensive) specialist internal medicine vet insisted he had a food allergy-related IBD (despite the history and symptoms not fitting, and I already avoid the rice I know he doesn't do well with ) and insisted I feed him on a dry Eukanuba potato and fish exclusion diet (also prohibited me from giving him a home cooked exclusion diet) that was at least three times more expensive that Chappie.

Even when fed 50% more that the recommendation for his weight he didn't regain any of his lost weight after 10 days and he started to get dark, loose faeces and had no energy .

My regular vet said put him back on Chappie. His stomach stayed fine, his energy increased and he went from 26 kg to 27.5 kg in 10 days on the weight-recommended amount.

More expensive isn't always better
