colouroflies Posted June 26, 2007 Share Posted June 26, 2007 Anyone know what supermarket VIP brand is like. Saw that chic from DR harry's give it a wrap so I bought some - looks alright and from first glance at ingredients everything seems ok. I'm after any opinion on it - good or bad. ta Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ittybitty_ Posted June 26, 2007 Share Posted June 26, 2007 I feed VIP rolls as an extra in the dinners to make some variety.. The dogs love them, and from reading the ingredients they seem to be okay. They have been a saviour for my pregnant girls who wont eat. As they love their VIP rolls so much, its the only thing they will eat at the moment. I think they are a great Idea. But I wouldnt feed 'just' the rolls. I always feed raw chicken/red meat first, and just chop the rolls up and mix it through.. Cheers Rox Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WreckitWhippet Posted June 26, 2007 Share Posted June 26, 2007 I've used them with the pregnant girls and also when we travel. I have had a couple of rolls that have been off, but I blame my local IGA, as it's not the only thing that has been off from there. To me they are an added extra and in no way a complete meal.

Ittybitty_ Posted June 27, 2007 Share Posted June 27, 2007 I know a couple of breeders/exhibitors who feed just VIP rolls and usually added kibble either proplan or Advance. And their dogs are in excellent condition. Its what works for them. I couldnt feed it as a complete meal though. I am at the moment to the preggie girls, as thats all they will eat.

Aziah Posted June 27, 2007 Share Posted June 27, 2007 What is the cost of one roll and what flavour have you used/recommend? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colouroflies Posted June 27, 2007 Author Share Posted June 27, 2007 I bought the beef and veggies one as well as the one with pasta, lamb I think. I've taken her off the raw mince and chicken wings, bones etc because she was having trouble with her bowels and keeping it in . I'm feeding about 200g of the rolls with a cup each of Great Barko, Nutrience and Nutro, looks to be going well for her. oh, she gets her bones and chews on the w/e. Thanks heaps all.

kamuzz Posted June 27, 2007 Share Posted June 27, 2007 What sort of dog do you have colouroflies? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ittybitty_ Posted June 27, 2007 Share Posted June 27, 2007 I use the lamb & chicken one with rice & vegies, thats the one my kids prefer, and it seems to agree with them pretty well.. I pay $3.99 for a large one from Woolworths. They also have the larger range of flavours.. Dont ever buy the platinum brand.. Its real horrid.

SpikesPuppy Posted June 27, 2007 Share Posted June 27, 2007 We buy these occasionally as a treat/change for the doggies and have never had a problem with them. I also used the puppy roll and gourmet chicken when Caber was a puppy, as recommended by his breeder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
badboyz Posted June 27, 2007 Share Posted June 27, 2007 You'd be better off with Scotty's rolls if you can get them. I used to feed this to my dogs and was very pleased with it. Only stopped when the stopped delivering. Much much better quality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
huski Posted June 27, 2007 Share Posted June 27, 2007 (edited) You'd be better off with Scotty's rolls if you can get them. I used to feed this to my dogs and was very pleased with it. Only stopped when the stopped delivering. Much much better quality. I was just about to post I prefer Scotty's over VIP too. Micha's breeders were very strict about diet, and only feeding natural food etc, but said if you are going to feed brand name/supermarket meat Scotty's is great and VIP is ok if you can't get Scotty's. We used to feed Scotty's to my dogs all the time... we've cut back now and prefer to just feed dry food and bones (chicken wings etc). Reading this thread has made me feel like getting some for them now Edited June 27, 2007 by husky87 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MissMonaro Posted June 27, 2007 Share Posted June 27, 2007 I have to admit it is the only thing my pregnant bitches will eat also. And of course I pamper to them...hehe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mita Posted June 27, 2007 Share Posted June 27, 2007 I only get Tuckertime Dog Rolls...available through vets 1.5 & 3 kilo sizes. Highly nutritionally packed, so feeding is economical re number of grams per a dog's weight. Brilliant stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ellz Posted June 27, 2007 Share Posted June 27, 2007 Little hint for you. The Coles/Farmland label rolls are just VIP in another wrapper. All they do is change the wrappers at the end of the production run and charge about $2 less in the stores per roll. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leopuppy04 Posted June 28, 2007 Share Posted June 28, 2007 Great for training treats - they are good coz they don't get too mushy and the dogs love 'em. Easy to cut up / freeze too Your hands do get a bit smelly though.... but that is the only way I have used them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
montall Posted June 28, 2007 Share Posted June 28, 2007 (edited) Dont ever buy the platinum brand.. Its real horrid. What's the problem with this one Roxiekda, why is it horrid? I hope it's only because your dogs didn't like it and not because there is anything harmful in it. My dogs seem to like it. I chose it because it had no preservatives and it also contained small amounts of glucosamine and chondritin which I thought would be good for my little dog who has had knee and hip surgery. ETA .. I have only just changed their diet to this as a main meal, they get chicken necks and bits and pieces of other stuff as well.
