To be fair JWB are sending me an env so I can send them a sample to check out and will compensate me if there is a prob with it. It will have to be in pouches though not dry as Jak is a Burns dog now. Only put him on JWB as he can be grain sensitive and I wanted him grain free. Thanks for your advice x. Jak had fun watching the Cadet band rehearsing this. morning and enjoyed the fuss from a few of the. cadets. Wasnt scared at all. Greys amaze me all. the time

Hi Jak'sMom .It's frustrating when feed companies change things and don't warn you isn't it ? It sounds like they may have increased something in their food that Jak doesn't like so I think you're doing exactly the right thing and listening to him 🙂 Many people say to leave the food down for a short time then take it up so the dog HAS to eat it but we find Greys will often just stop eating 🙁 so I'd rather find something my dog likes and is happy to eat .. Burns is a good ethical company and we've recommended Burns food for years for the greyhounds 🙂 so Jak has very good taste 🙂 J x

The lovely Dee is definately starting to gain in confidence now, and she loves being out on her walk. Still a bit wary of eating if anyone is watching her (?) but I think she just needs time and the security of her own home to blossom. x

Holly is such an affectionate and sweet girl. She was a little bit nervy out on our walk and jumped at a few loud noises, but this will go in tiem as swh gets used to her new surroundings. As it was so wet and muddy, I knelt down to clean her paws and legs when we got back and she thought this was a great game - she was fascinated by the wipes & kept giving me big kisses as I did each leg!! Such a sweetheart. xx

Come on Robbie! I can't believe those ears alone haven't got you a second chance in a loving home. Now that Katie has finally, finally got her deserved retirement, we need to get you and Cornelia sorted and soon.

I think Cornelia was a bit lonely when Katie first left. She lay quietly on her bed and looked subdued. I hope she is feeling less lonely today in the company of her brother, Piglett.

Hello, we lost our beautiful, beautiful Jojo 2 weeks ago. It was time to let her run free with our Ruby. My heart is still truly broken, thank you to daybreaks for giving us such special gifts as when our dogs choose us for their forever homes. Myles is now being more spoilt than ever if thats even possiblexxxxx

Over the Rainbow Bridge
Been really worried about Jak this week. JWB changed their kibble size of their & veg range but swear they handnt changed recipe. Jak refused to eat it slowly over coupla days but would eat pouches on their own as long as wasnt mixed in with kibble. He got really depressed so wasnt sure if it was to dovwith fireworks. Wasnt sure if i was turning him into a fussy feeder by offering him the pouches on their own but couldnt stand those sad eyes. Kept trying to introduce the JWB back into pouched foof but he would only eat a little or non of it. Yesterday I couldnt bear it any longer and bought a small bag of Burns Lamb & Rice to see if it was dry food in general or Just the JWB he had a problem with. Gave him small meals of Burns with a little pilch or a sachet and so far he is scoffing it fown. Tried to put some JWB in to make it a gradual change but he just left it. Dont know in future if will by the big sacks of food just in case. Do you sell the 7.5 kg bags of lamb, fish, chicken or duck and rice or just the 15kg ones?
