Chappie Reviews

I have just put my 12 1/2 year old Labrador onto this tinned food (and dried James Wellbelove senior). Before she was on Pedigree chum. I have always been wary of Chappie and seen it as a low end brand, but someone told me that it was excellent for dogs with stomach upsets as it was very fish based and therefore a lot lower in fats. We give my ...  Read the complete review

When my young dog was diagnosed with chronic pancreatitis, she was put on a vet prescription diet for life. She had two severe acute pancreatic attacks in 2 years requiring hospitalisation and a drip for a week even on said diet. At £70 a bag, her food was not cheap but essential. I was discussing her condition and feeding with a vet friend and ...  Read the complete review

For many years Chappie has, for me, been a bit of a life saver and yet again in recent times it has come into its own. In the dark and dismal past, long before pet foods appeared in plastic sacks, lived 'Chappie,' and, on some shop shelves, Chappie, still resides to this day, although in my experience, not on enough of them. This is ...  Read the complete review

My dog, Dexter, has been unwell lately. A problem that has arisen from his liking of rich, gravy based dog foods, which really, his digestive system cannot handle. After much variation in trying to find the right dog food, wet or dry, our vet suggested that we should try Chappie, if we could stand the smell. He recommended this due to ...  Read the complete review

My Whippet crossed Jack Russell developed a food allergy to fat and ?wheat at the age of five months that made her hyperactive. Having tried various other foods we nearly lost her at the age of two due to vomiting & diarrohoea. My vets nurse suggested after attending a confrence trying her on Chappie, it saved her life. She was fed only on ...  Read the complete review

My lickle doggie is getting old and although I have tried to deny it its got to stop and I need to accept it! Along with getting old my poor doggie (jack) has had a lot of digestive trouble and I have been trying out different foods to find out what suits him best. Firstly it was pedigree wet food then pedigree dry then a specialist food from he ...  Read the complete review

After 2 years of trying to stop epileptic fits in my 3 year old Border Collie I was recommended a few pointers by The Canine Epileptic Association one of them being feeding the dog Chappie tinned food. The reason being is, that it is protien which gives dogs energy in most complete dog foods protien is in excess of what a dog needs on a ...  Read the complete review

My beloved lhasa apso was diagnosed at 14 years old with a heart condition which needed careful nursing and much medication. Since the enlarged heart interrupted the passage of food, it was necessary to feed him small amounts several times a day. As the medication and nursing began to kick in, to our horror the vet found crystals in Gin`s urine ...  Read the complete review

I miscalculated the shopping this week and ran out of dog food. So I had to go down to our local shop. Now if I tell you that this is Alldays some of you will realise that things are expensive there especially dog food. The dog food I usually buy was 57p a tin instead of the 44p I usually spend. As they only had that and ...  Read the complete review

There might be no accounting for taste, but neither my dog Molly, nor myself (no, I don't eat it! I am talking about the smell only in my case...) can stand it. Chappie appears to be mainly cereal filler. Alright, I admit it, I bought it because it came with 50% extra free and was quite cheap, but I soon discovered that this was a ...  Read the complete review

Nowadays there are so many different sorts of dog food it is so hard to know what to feed. But in my experience a dog will always show you by eating it if he likes it! But liking it doesn't mean it does him any good? I have found that if you have a dog with a sensitive stomache chappie is the answer. It is very basic. The dried food is ...  Read the complete review

My dog loves Chappie. Infact he eats more or less anything but I have had to stop feeding him this brand of dog food. The texture is soft, its cheap and I don't doubt that it is nutritious but it smells really bad. As soon as I open the tin I can smell a fishy smell and it makes me want to throw up. There's no one else ...  Read the complete review

Chappie has a good smell, my grandad fed it to all of his dogs and they were always healthy and happy. One of the main considerations when choosing food for your dog has to be, can I serve it to my pet without throwing up afterwards? The vet is best qualified to advise you on how much to feed your dog and at what age to use a ...  Read the complete review

The tin is featured on the logo here but I use the dried form for my 3 dogs. This is a cheap healthy way to feed your dogs especially useful for those with sensitive stomachs. I do like the premium foods such as Hills and Eukanuba and if you can afford it especially with a small dog by all means go ahead but if you have a large dog or ...  Read the complete review
