Fourteen dry-food brands, and a reason for each one.

From everyday complete diets to prescription veterinary lines. Eleni signs off every bag on this shelf, and we will read the analytical constituents with you if you bring a competitor bag in.

Buying guide

How to switch a food without a week of upset stomach.

Transition over seven to ten days: a quarter new food for three days, half for three days, three quarters for two days, then all of it. Faster than that is the single most common cause of the diarrhoea that gets blamed on the new bag.

Judge the result at six weeks, not six days. Coat condition, stool consistency and energy are the signals worth watching; the first fortnight tells you almost nothing.

Buying a bag that lasts more than six weeks is false economy. Fats oxidise after opening and palatability drops — which is why we stock the 2 kg sizes alongside the 12 kg ones.

Ask before you buy — that is what the counter is for.

Eleni does Wednesday consultations at Exarchia by appointment. Petros runs the small-animal range at Cholargos.
