Canagan Update

I thought I’d give you a bit of an update on Alfie and Jasmine’s new food regime. They are both doing really well with the Canagan kibble, and we’re definitely going to stick with it.

Alfie the Chocolate Labrador is being exceptionally fussy at the moment. He is suffering with hayfever, and the heatwave of recent weeks seems to have taken his appetite for dog food (not human food I may add). So we are giving him about ¾ of the recommended amount of Canagan kibble along with a couple of big spoonfuls of Lily’s Kitchen wet food. The meat entices him to dive in quicker, and it’s a good way of hiding a Piriton tablet! His favourite combination is the Salmon kibble, and Lily’s Kitchen Fishy Fish Pie with Peas.



Jasmine the cat is now 7 and a half, and we noticed that quite often she wasn’t digesting her meat as well as usual. It often made her sick after eating it, and after discussing this with her vet we decided to remove the wet food from her diet and see if things improved. I’m pleased to say it did. She is getting all of her nutritional requirements from the kibble, and she’s gained some weight back. Her coat’s looking good (with the help of a FURminator of course), and she seems to have plenty of energy. We noticed she has been drinking much more water since we switched her to dry. She hardly used to drink from her bowl at all, but now she does. On really hot days I did sometimes add a couple of spoonfuls of Lily’s Kitchen Chicken or Fish wet food, just to make sure she was getting enough hydration.

So, I’d say it’s going really well with two very healthy happy pets under my roof!
