Greetings everyone, no doubt this will have been asked a number of times before but I'm really desperate for advice on what to feed my greyhound.
She is a 3 year old who was trained to race but deemed not fast enough. We adopted her around easter last year. One thing that we have struggled with since day one is getting her bowel movements to be healthy. Without going into horrible detail, her dumps or frequently very difficult to pick up. The first one of the day is usually not too bad but they deteriorate after that. While this is not good for us trying to be responsible dog owners and cleaning up after her, more importantly it suggests that her stomach is not in the best condition.
We have tried a number of different brands of dry food. She usually has sliced chicken with this. She often gets tinned mackerel and that is one way to be sure she will clean her plate. We occasionally give her wet food and have tried different brands, although this has most frequently coincided with particularly bad reactions in terms of bowel movements.
The other problem is that she is quite a fussy eater. If we give her something new, she will usually wolf it down and really enjoy having it for two or three days but she quickly gets bored and starts just picking out the bits that she likes - usually sliced chicken and leaving everything else.
I would appreciate any advice that you can offer.
Thanks
