Thanks everyone for the tips, Yes I would appreciate any links anyone may have.
When you say raw food, do you mean raw as in uncooked? I have a good butchers just around the corner, but can I also get some of the raw meat that may be in the bargain section in tesco and throw that in his bowl without cooking it?
I was always told chicken bones are unsafe for dogs?
Guess I will do some research into this raw diet...
Brian the problem is if it's people food he will eat it, but if I don't cook at home for a couple of days then he doesn't eat anything if he won't touch his dog food and I'm worried that he's probably not getting his nutrients from pork pies

Since there seem to be lots of people here who are knowledgeable about pets, I thought I might ask here for some advice. My dog (18 months) is a very fussy eater, he was on puppy food until a few months ago, since then he is given a mix of tinned food and biscuits. He quite often eats the tinned food and leaves the biscuits. I will admit he gets leftovers and if I make a fry up or something I will cook sausage and bacon for him. My friend buys him sausage rolls and pork pies every week ![::)](//storage.proboards.com/2973975/images/N0IhREh7uFcTjsME5Y1s.gif) My previous dog was a like a Hoover, he ate everything, I've never had to deal with such a fussy animal before. He won't even eat most dog treats or rawhides. When he was at the vets for his jabs in the summer, the vet said not to worry, he has great muscle tone etc....I understand vets like pets to be as lean as possible, but Dawa is looking even skinnier than he did then, all his ribs and bones in his back are starting to show now He is a bundle of energy and gets a lot of play and run time and even with the left overs and pork pies, he's not eating enough for the energy he expends. Before anyone says to stop giving him leftovers and "people" treats, I may as well be straight up and tell you that won't happen, my best friend looks after Dawa when I work and he isn't capable of eating something without sharing with Dawa...soft arse ![::)](//storage.proboards.com/2973975/images/N0IhREh7uFcTjsME5Y1s.gif) Dawa is a German Shepherd cross and I've heard that they can be fussy eaters..... Any tips would help, I've thought of feeding him just on wet food, what about a raw diet? What exactly is a raw diet? Thanks

I know lots of people love them, but I couldn't get along with them, I will get around to trying the mini at some point, for research if nothing else

I'm not worried about recommending juices, it's those (large) vivi novas that are gonna cause me sleepless nights #icon_hopeless# Lets just say I gladly gave mine away on here free of charge...

I thought of saying the same thing about there being lots of awful flavours too, but didn't want to scare the newbie lol
Of all the flavours I've tried, I think there are less than a dozen I would buy again

That's a shame Chris, but the film festival sounds fun, not sure where the room is for sleeping during all that ![:D](//storage.proboards.com/2973975/images/30yfTjP3QPippj7hX3wK.gif)

That's what I'm hoping to arrange Ewol, a relaxed evening where it's quiet enough to chat and compare shinies, but also finding a time that is convenient to everyone

For weeks after I switched to vaping, the hardest time for me was first thing in the morning, your nicotine levels will be at their lowest and vaping delivers the nicotine much more slowly so I missed the nicotine rush of the first smoke of the day. Use the highest mg strength nicotine you have first thing in the morning. It does get easier, your body is still adjusting

That would be great thanks Chrissie, the more confirmed numbers we can get, the more likely that Storm can arrange us a nice venue
