I once started with a picky eater and tried all sorts of dog food...Canned jojo, canned Rukus, canned pedigree, till i met nutroplan by petsmart. My dog finally settled for that till she got tired of it. Then my journey into dry food started. I fed Arion puppy, she just ate a little and returned back to play. I switched to Dogmor and then to Pedigree for large breeds which she eventually settled for.

*Problem starts when Pedigree goes out of stock, then I have to switch to Arion which she doesnt really like. She loses weight during this period because she eats little and still remains overly active.

I am thinking of trying Miglior Cane Professional or Pedro nut or Diamond which are readily available.

*Has anyone used the above brands and what has been your experience with them with respect to acceptability and weight gain?

*Your comments are highly appreciated

Get Royal Canin, though expensive but that's the best around and your dog(s) will love it.
Stay far away from Pedigree and Diamond, you can also try Josera.

Royal canin is quite pricey and not readily avail. esp for GSDs.People rather retail its variant for large breeds because they are cheaper and in high demand. Having to be consistent with a brand of kibble that is more than 80percent acceptable with appreciable result to my dog is what I am after. I don't want to switch off and on.
Nutroplan puppy (chicken meat loaf NOT the gravy version) in cans is still the best I have used so far, showing very noticeable weight gain. I supplement with eggs, boiled chicken necks or butt. Ready availability is the problem.

*Have you used Josera?

I am yet to use Josera but a friend of mine recommended it and I have contacted the manufacturer in Germany and they confirm it to be of high quality.
Royal Canin is readily available in Lagos,Abuja,Ibadan and Port Harcourt.

Reasons for advising against pedigree and Diamond?

Manufacturer will boast of his product na.I am looking for a people tested and trusted product before i dive into Miglior cane professional...trying to avoid a costly mistake.
For a non blue ribbon kibble, royal canine is expensive...the last time i checked, it was 17,500 for the GSD variant.

For their many recalls in the US, they only sell in Nigeria.
