Chappie Adult Wet Dog Food, Original, 12x412g

Chappie Original Adult Wet Dog Food – 12 x 412g

Chappie Original is the plain loaf tin that has been on British shelves for decades, and the one a great many owners land on after a run of loose stools. Its reputation rests on being unremarkable: a plain loaf with nothing in it likely to provoke a stomach that objects to richer food. What is actually in it is on the tin's own ingredient panel, which is the only declaration Chappie publish.

This listing is the twelve-tin case at 412g a tin — the size that makes sense when Chappie is the everyday food rather than a standby in the back of the cupboard. It is a complete food, so it needs no mixer, although plenty of people spoon it over a dry food as a topper instead.

Performance & Benefits

• A complete wet food: fed on its own it needs no mixer, biscuit or supplement.
• Plain loaf texture, which most dogs take readily — including convalescent and fussy ones.
• A recipe that has barely changed in decades, which is part of why owners trust it with a delicate dog.
• Long the food people fall back on when a dog has had a run of loose stools.
• Twelve 412g tins to the case, which works out cheaper per tin than buying singles.
• Unopened tins keep for a long time, so a case can sit in the cupboard until it is wanted.

Suitable For

• Adult dogs on an everyday wet diet.
• Dogs with delicate digestion, which is what most people buy Chappie for in the first place.
• Dogs that have not settled on richer, meatier wet foods.
• One medium dog, for whom twelve tins is roughly a fortnight's feeding.
• Not a puppy food, a senior diet or a veterinary diet. For a dog with a diagnosed condition, follow your vet's recommendation rather than a supermarket staple.

Feeding

• Feed to the chart printed on the tin, adjusted for the dog's weight, age and activity.
• A 412g tin is a meal-sized portion for a small to medium dog; larger dogs need more than one a day.
• Split the daily amount across two meals.
• Change over from another food across about five days — particularly for the sensitive dog this is usually bought for.
• Cover and refrigerate a part-used tin, and use it within a couple of days.
• Fresh drinking water available at all times.
