Guys my dog sheds a lot still some part bold d.

he is currently eating orijen 6 fishes..

any idea to help curb this problem?

if your pup sheds since you fed it with the new kibbles - then it might be the kibbles that's causing it. common sense would tell u to switch to another kibbles and c how it goes.

unless you're hoping there's a med that needs to be taken together wif the kibbles so that it does not shed after taking the meal....which i find it kinda troublesome to u and to the pup...i mean our pups shud be eating happily and healthily without the need of medication...

or it might not be the cause of the kibbles - which you need a vet to confirm that. hope your pups get well soon...

actually how do we know if our pups is having a genuine problematic itchy body?

i mean its norm for them to scratch/lick their body right? please guide me...

hi...want to know what brand of dog treat do you all normally give to your dogs? I saw a lot of brands but most of them are made in China, so I am unsure whether it is safe for consumption for the dogs..

I gave my dog Origen Or sometimes acana. Recommended.

I got my dog homemade treats from this http://pawsome-treat.blogspot.com/

I try to give treats to my furkids as natural as possible.
Baby carrots, Raw chicken drumstick, Dried animal hide, red apples, low fat yogurt, banana, durian.

hi, maybe u should change her shampoo or treats before changing her diet. sometimes itchy doesnt necessary mean that its food. maybe it might b caused by the floor cleaner u r using? try changing those n c if it helps. just my suggestion.

Added on June 7, 2010, 9:31 pmwow a good selection u have there! not alot of pet shops carry these brands. i have a golden retriever and he has been on addiction, eukanuba, hills, natural balance. sounds liek alot huh? but i will change brands when i think the food doesnt make any difference. my opinion based on those few brands u have chosen, i think only go and artemis i think is good. judging on the price i think artemis would be more economical to use. my dog's on artemis adult dog now. i can c the fur is more shinier than before. dont know if it will do the same to your dog or not. btw, the price u have for that artemis is really cheap. i bought it at rm195 from a pet shop in kl.

HI artie,

yes, i think artemis would be fine for my american pitbull terrier. tomorrow i will go for this brand and try it out. i am no expert on kibbles, but i will try to look for : -

1. Artemis fresh Mix Adult, Fresh mix Medium/Large Breed puppy or Osopure med/large breed dog
2. California Natural

hope i can find these foods at the store.

thanks for all.

Just bought California Natural. price for 13.5kg is rm194.

according to the seller, feeding should be careful as this is a more 'thick' type. feed in less than 1 cup (about 180g), and check the stool. continue to change the level until the stool is not too hard, but only comes in a ONE short stool only.

this appears as a matter of record and for testing only.

Always remember with the kibbles, never feed as much as what the instruction says. It's more than the dog needs.

good advice. that is that i think.

for all ur problem i think similar with mine, my pup have a lot of tangles and always scratch or bite her fur/hair a lot...
the problem actually is dry skin where they are lack of Omega as been told by my groomer... so i bought a bottle of Omega pills for her and she has been eating it for 3 weeks already now less tangle and seldom bite/scratch herself already...
all u need is buy Omega supplement for them
cheers...


Sherly,
u need to let him out more, cammy walk outside daily morning and evening sometimes weekend i bring her to the park where she can run a lot... but make sure u train them properly b4 u unleash them, coz they will not run away cammy will come back to me and look for me if she did not see me in the park but different story when i release her to do business during morning and evening... she so use to the road already, she will roam herself and search for a place to do her business
dogs prefer to has some big place to roam bring him to walks also helps as the more their exercise the better... cheers...

I feed my dog with orijen puppy + natural balance canned food (lamb), her scratching is getting worse. Now I can see dried red clots on her body. The dog foods I gave her has omega, isn't it enough?

Yup, I do know the important of dog walking. Used to walk her daily until ppl warned me about the risk of picking up diseases. My dog is still 3 month old, not fully vaccinated yet. Now I can only train her leash walking and play fetch in apartment to exercise her.

some is not enough, i give Orijen 6 Fish mix with Artemis... enough??? no, she has dry skin problem also as the groomer tell me that is the symptom scratch a lot and bite their own fur/hair... as they could not absorb all of the nutrient in the food sometimes so i feed her the omega supplement b4 food
2ndly redish skin is not good better bring to Vet and see how... cammy had ring-worm b4, at 1st we thought only itchy or sensitive but later it does not goes off even we bath her twice a week and keep her clean... later brought her to grooming and the groomer tell me it is ring-worm luckily not widely spread but ppl can have that also (my gf kena afew spot also)... better to bring them to Vet they will check for you...
lastly try to skip the lamb canned food and see sometimes it might cause by lamb, i heard from poodles owner some of them sensitive with certain food also

yea you need to wait for 4 months or after finish the 3 vacc but i did bring out my cammy a lot b4 she finish her vacc... so it depends on ppl lo, i even bring her to grass field also to run around

for the training sometimes you need to be very strict during it, i beat and scold her thats y she scare of me more than my gf... but after the training of some teaching i'll play with her until she become "Xiao" already haha...

*later when i go back to Penang, i can look for you also hopefully cammy will follow me back as my gf does not allow me to bring her to penang

Really?
I feeding acana pacifica to my 6 months pup, n according to the kibble instruction, i shoul feed 40-85g daily for a pup weighted 1-5kg, so i fed 85g to my pup, but this seem like not enuf for her (i can felt her rib easily), so i canged to feeding her 100g daily n i think tis is juz enuf for her...wat a big stomach she has

haha thats y u need to adjust accordingly not to over feed them la...

I don't know about you. But my dog is always hungry no matter how much I feed him. Lol.
