Recently switch from Proplan dog food to Acana, to get the grain free dog food. But the puppy poo becomes watery... This is the third day on new diet, and still no improvement, usually how long do I need to observed if the food is suitable for him.

Where do I buy Kong products in KL?

Pooh, found it on my own. Kong can be bought at Petsmore, Great Eastern Shopping Mall, Jln Ampang.

Switching from a low quality food like ProPlan to a high protein grain free food like Acana is a huge leap for a dogs digestive system. If you were eating a diet of McDonalds and KFC for a significant amount of time and then switched to an organic vegetable and free range meat based diet, you would have an extreme reaction. This is especially true if you didn't do the recommended procedure for switching foods where you slowly phase out the old while introducing the new.

You will also find that the stool of a dog on a grain free food (such as Acana) will often be slightly softer than when they were on a non-grain free diet due to them simply not using all the nutrients packed into the food and it coming out the other end.

Generally if you just stop one food and start a new one (especially such different foods) you will find that it takes at least a week for the stool to harden up again. Unless there is a majorly bad reaction (such as bad hot spots, itching or other severe reaction) it will usually take between 2-6months of a new food to see the final results.

I thought Proplan protein is also quite high, just that it is grain based.
Anyway... ya, last minute we only switch it because inexperience. today is the 7 day. The poo is getting solid, and the poo shape is there but still hard to pick up, it get squash when slight pressure is apply. I'm becoming dog poo expext now

my pug is bery bery bery bfat! so he eats the diet dog food by eukaneba. No more meat snacks. Only eats small pieces of carrots and apples as treats haha. He hates his food and will only eat if hungry. No choice la doctor say too fat liao. His joints are beginning to weaken

Hi there everyone. I have just bought a Chow Chow pups at 2 months old. Read most of your comment here previously but not sure it is applicable to puppies.

As I am first time owner of dog, I would like to have some kind advise from all sifus here on what brand/type of food I should feed to my Chow Chow pups.

Thanks a lot.

Generally the same rules for adults also apply for puppies. Some foods separate puppy formula and adult formula but often there is very little difference between the 2 and the puppy one will be priced higher (to take advantage of the fact that people will be more willing to spend more on their new puppy than am older dog that has been with them for sometime).

One thing to consider for chows specifically is to make sure you keep his/her weight on the lighter side of normal. Chows can be prone to becoming overweight quite easily, this is bad for their hips and lungs which can be put under stress by having to support an overly large body weight.
Chows in Malaysia also seem to be quite prone to skin issues such as hot spots so try to avoid high protein foods.

Also as a side note.l: Please make sure your Chow is well trained, although they are quite medium in size, due to the structure of their body and head they can be extremely powerful dogs with a crushing bite. While I advocate and advise proper training for any breed or size, when there is a dog that can easily do major damage to another animal or human it is vital that they are taught manners at a young age to prevent any accidents.

Hi all, Hardyhaus is selling Nutram and Crown brands for Dog Food. Feel free to check out our threads

I made a stew/mash for my Golden today.

Almost an entire head of cabbage, long beans, sweet potatoes, carrots, beef chunks, peas and garlic. I would probably pick a fattier beef next time because dogs need the fat.

After 3 hours of stewing, use a potato masher and mash it up. Stuffs great into a Kong. Refrigerate the rest.

Looks good enough for me to eat!

I found Taste of the Wild in Sabah, for you Sabahans out there. IraManis Pet House has it. They even give out free samples. They also have a branch in Kingfisher (aptly named Kingfisher Pet House).

or perhaps we can home made some nutritious food for it?
I used to feed him fish for dogs but due to its size and consumption. .. I'm going broke.
Please advice as I need help on this.
pedigree is cheap but too much bad reviews.

Thanks

Hi Guys. Just want to ask if Pro Balance Dry and Wet dog food is OK for a toy poodle?

Actually, right now I'm mixing pedigree dry and pro balance wet dog food. I learned the hard way with pedigree, but unsure if pro balance is OK to continue.

Help!

What's wrong with the pedigree?

Hmm... by the way how much is your budget? Is RM300++ for 13KG dog food consider within budget or RM150++ for the same weight?

Besides that you need to know how much time you dog will be in active, running, jumping around. If the dog have log activity, choose a lower protein dog food which is also cheaper. But if you have a large garden and your dog is free to roam and run along and have high exercise routine, go for higher protein dog food but obviously it cost more.

BTW, how old is your golden retriever?

Hi, I'm looking for royal canin urinary so for small dog. It was recommended by vet after my dog had bladder stone and recovering from urethstrotomy. Anyone here know where I can get it?

I bought a few stuff from KinkyJane in Penang. Both my 4 year old Retriever and 1 year old Labrador had diarrhea. I told them about it on the phone. When I tried to call, I was told to contact online or facebook messaging if I can't get through the phone which happened.

I was told by one member later that I was blocked by 迪森 (a man pretending to working in japan but so obviously staying in KL) !
I am sickened by people like these who pretend to want to help but resort to tactics like these. No replies. I gave up trying to find out what was wrong.

I will not go to KinkyJane again. They advertised all over the place spreading what a fantastic team and products they sell on other groups too besides their own "Pet For Sale or Adoption in Selangor & KL".
It has been one bad experience for me and my family. Now I go to a great shop (I will avoid mentioning which shop because it will mean i am promoting them) and used golden eagle or beef cooked with peas, cabbage, carrots etc. All I am saying is to never go back to one shop only just because it is so close and convenient or they look like they are adopting dogs out so they have integrity. How wrong I was.
