shops never display in order of quality - they use clever pyschology in displaying items to get you to buy what they want you to buy.

Tuti I will Pm you later today about beards (notice Amy's is white with no staining )
Archie looks great and will bodyup a bit when he becomes an adult I tried some samples of new fish things the other day, they were good and clean teeth too ..I will have to find out what they were.

Cheers Mini

Yep Archie still has some filling out to do... but he is nicely in shape I think

A couple of weeks ago my mum was being norty and giving him loads of treats and stupid things like 'dessert' after his dinner and he started looking a bit chubby So I put my foot down and now he looks fine again

Thanks everyone for your ideas. My local pet shop is getting me some Burns samples and I will look into the Nature Diet. So hopefully will get some success!

Hi Mini,

I sent an email to Burns to ask where there nearest stockist is and they have sent one back this morning and said they would send me a sample if I wanted so I have said yes Thanks for telling me about the website

Foxy If you like it don't forget if the nearest stockist is a long way away try asking your nearest small independant pet shop (in yellow pages) and they should get it in for you, it is on their wholesalers list Also Burns deliver but it cost quite a lot in proportion for a small amount Burns also have a very nice nutritionist if you have any questions

Thanks Mini Yes we have a small local family run petshop in the next village and they would order me some if I wanted. I will see if he likes the sample they send. Does your Amy like Burns or does she tend to go off it a bit sometimes.

I really think Azz should get Burns to put a bit of sponsorship into Dogweb - lots of us come on and recommend it every time someone asks about food.

Dinah has been on it since I got her - I think she likes the fish'n'rice best but it's nice that you can get the variety. Their snacks - Kelties and the Ocean Bites are good too.

D has a wonderful shiny coat, sweet breath both ends and produces 2 healthy, pick-uppable poos per day. She's on the slim side too and, as Mini says, that's the best way to be.

I certainly think it's worth you trying it Foxy - let us know how you get on.

Thanks Dinahsmum, I will be checking the post eagerly for my sample - hope they don't forget to send it or send it to the wrong house like they did tuti's chalk. The silly postman delivered it to another address round the corner and when the lad brought it round he gave me a funny look. I bet he thought it was drugs in the envelope or something because the chalk was all soft and smooth
