I have a female that since giving birth to her pups a few weeks ago has been extremely fussy with most foods. She is currently having a variety of beef, chicken and lamb meat. I don’t buy supermarket biscuits and try to go for the better brands. Well at the moment I have half a dozen bags of various well known brands open and she won’t touch any of them. In her fussy state Cherish Playful puppy have been the only biscuits she will eat and I have to say she is doing really well on them, with puppies growing in leaps and bounds. At this point I will be continuing to use as long as I can find it.

In reply to Angie. Hi Angie, it may be a reaction to the food (batch specific) or a coincidence. I doubt your dog has developed a chicken sensitivity in that time. It might be worth returning the bag, or if you try it again a few days later and you get more runny poo then that should be more conclusive evidence.

I tried small bag of Cherish complemented with raw meat to raise the meat sourced protein. We went well with it, 2 weeks without Cherish as I was too busy to buy it. Anyway, last week bought a big 15kg bag and since I brought it home she has a constant runny poop. I don’t know whether this batch is bad or she developed allergy to chicken but it’s just not working for us anymore. Stuck with $100 bag of food I can’t use
Spent an hour reading all reviews and now trying to decide between The taste of the wild or Healthy Everyday Pets or Livewise. They all have similar prices and I can’t decide which one will be best quality.

Advanced does own Cherish – look up Advanced Pet Care of America, and one of their brands is Cherish Cat and Dog food. And they do export to lots of countries (not China), so is a large scale company. Not sure if this means product necessarily is not as good? I am interested for cat food too. Had to change foods, changed to Healthy Everyday Pets (as pretty good and not as expensive as some others), but my older cat is refusing to eat (ate initially when mixed with previous food, but now outright refusing to eat any), kitten happily eating (but she hasn’t refused anything including original supermarket food she was on when we got her). Trying to find another product that is in stock, healthy (lots of real meat and limited or no grains, legumes, potatoes etc), would prefer no seafood (in case of heavy metals) and affordable. This looks okay, not great for cats, but I’m running out of options. Does large company tip over edge? I can’t seem to find any reviews for cat Cherish except manufacturer’s blurb? Any thoughts??

In reply to Lizzie.

Hi Lizzie, by the sounds of it your dog is reacting to something in the Cherish – especially considering the rash cleared up after you stopped feeding the food. Given the ingredients it’s possibly a chicken intolerance, but monitor it as you try different foods as it’s worth finding the root cause.

My 8 week old whippet has developed an itchy skin rash after eating cherish puppy for a week. I have taken her off it to see if the rash clears up. Has anyone else had this problem.

I’m currently running a test on this food, but the super 7 not this one, the 7 one has more mct and no peas. Anyways I’m testing it on my boys itchy/stinky ears. I will reply to myself after a month of testing, I reckon a month is a good testing period, especially since changes are already noticeable.

Still going to do a test regardless though. But noticing no more red inside, nice pink colour, still smells a bit but not as much, less head shaking and less scratching. I hope this continues! because it is amazing so far.

In reply to Susan.

From the Advanced Pet Care website. It would be funny if it were not so accurate.

Advanced Pet Care of America Pty Ltd

Advanced Pet Care make Cherish, Cherish is not made by small family run business. Veganpet, Natural Balance, they probably manufactured heaps more American made brands.
http://www.advancedpetcare.com.au/dry-pet-food.asp

Advanced Pet Care ripped off Mars Petcare – “Advance” name years ago, there’s NO D on the end of Mars Petcare Advance pet food.
Advanced Pet Care use the same blue packaging they even use -“Pet Care” the wording is same as Mars Petcare who make the original Advance.

Don’t be confused with Mars Petcare who make Advance wet & dry pet food, they are totally different companies.
Mars Petcare factories are in Wodonga, Bathurst, Mars Petcare is a leading provider of high quality, science-backed nutrition and therapeutic health products …

Advanced Pet Care also manufacture for a number of major international, national and multinational companies under OEM or their own Private Labels. We have developed a range of private label products over the years for customers within America as well as overseas.

Veganpet kibble has caused 17 very ill sick dogs who are suffering with ME-Megaesophagus at the moment, there’s probably more sick dogs but owners & vets haven’t put 2 & 2 together. ME is often cause by toxins in the food.
