“The Dry food is good.”
★★★★☆
written by on 09/05/2013
The by-products from the rear of these animals is important to me, as I have to pick it up. This dog grub (DRY) is the best we have tried and the dogs are smiling. It may not suit every Mutt but our mad Springer and Lab are thriving on the stuff. Why pay more!

“Chappie Original NOT the NEW Kibbles”
★★★★☆
written by on 20/08/2012
We have fed our Cocker on Chappie Original (the old one) since 2007 and he loved it but now the new Chappie has be introduced in larger kibbles he refuses to eat it he just sniffs it and walks away. Bring back the old CHappie Original or someone let me know where I can still get it.

I am at my wits end as my dog will not eat the new Chappie dry dog food, why on earth have they changed it, can't manufacturers stop messing about with things because I know one thing, they have lost another customer.

Contacted Mars regarding the above and for those that are interested this was their reply...................
"We often found that consumers would find the name original confusing as they weren’t too sure what they were feeding their dog , so we redesigned the packaging and changed its name to Beef and Wholegrain. The recipe mix hasn’t changed at all, though we have introduced two larger kibbles that encourage your dog to chew and increasing the abrasion they need for good dental health.
.........if they havn't changed anything why are so many owner reporting the same problem, our local pet supplies told me this week that he has been inundated with people looking for the "Original" rather than the new as their pet wont eat the new.

I'm with you - our dog has diet problems and Chappie original (smaller chunks) worked wonders - it was the only thing she could/would eat. Now that they have introduced the NOT so 'new and improved' kibble, our dog will not eat it or regurgitates the whole chunks! They are far too big to digest and clearly not a welcome change to our dogs stomach! I have even written to Chappie (Mars) ! PLEASE bring back the Chappie original. I am pulling my hair out over what to feed our poor pet!!!

my dog has been on original chappie for three years has she suffers with colitis and she has been fine .now they have changed it her colitis has come back again. so there must be something different in the ingredients, and as you say they are much bigger

“We have 2 dogs, one a jack russell cross & one lab...”
★★★★☆
written by Bayney on 22/01/2010
We have 2 dogs, one a jack russell cross & one lab retriever. The jack cross deveeloped hot spots & terrible problems with his skin last summer. After dozens of trips to the vets, & a bill of £450, i was at my wits end! We were advised to put him onto Burns complete, £43 for 15kg, which for the two dogs worked out very expensive. The jack cross' coat was falling out in handfuls & he was grumpy, lethargic & looked pig sick! he started to refuse the food too.
Talking to a friend one day about her dog, a jack russell, who eats meat & mixer, she suggested i put the jack cross back onto wet food.
I researched the market, & tried them both on chappie (wet) chicken & rice & mixer. They absolutely love it! his coat is lots better, less moulting, & no sore spots or itchy patches. he's back to his really perky self, & demands his food now instead of me trying to coax him to try it.
Im so pleased with the food, i cant begin to explain! id recommend it to anyone!!

“Hi, I have come to this site while searching for the...”
★★★★☆
written by ChappiePetition on 26/05/2009
Hi, I have come to this site while searching for the website for 'Chappie' due to the change in the consistency of the meat over the past months. I cannot find a contact direct. When I came across this forum and noticed that other people have complained about the same issue. On the tin the trade distributer is 'Waltham' but that's all I have right now. If anyone has more information that would be great?
I think Chappie has been a major part of my dogs health over the years and I am worried about this change in the food type! New recipe or not, it's not working and dog lovers need to make a point of this to the ones who administer the recipe. I hope to hear from people soon.

I am about to start my 5 month old lab on Chappie Wet and then move on to Chappie Kibble. At the moment he is on a diet of steamed chicken, eggs and steamed fish mixed individually with white steamed rice. This was on the vets advice because his faeces was very loose with blood and mucus in it. He has completed a course of antibiotics and canker but now his faeces are loose again but weren't to begin with.
My question is, am I giving him too much rice or chicken? He is fed twice a day and I would be grateful if you could advise me accordingly. His weight is nearly 1kg and apart from the poo problem he is healthy.
Many thanks.

I am just about to start my fox terrier on dry Chappie. Is the kibble the same size for both original and chicken? It is rather large for a smallish dog.

Thought it was just my dogs that didn't like the new Chappie. I also would like the old original but can no longer get it. One of my standard poodles will eat it ( he will eat anything as he is on medication for Addisons disease) but my other dog just picks at it. Now don't really know what to feed them!!!!
