Hi All....Now i feeding my 4 months old dark brown colour toy poodle with Addiction kangaroo+apple.....is this food good?any recommend food to replacce this?i worry about her colour will fade....any solution?

How you store your dog food? I personally found that by keeping the dog food in its original packaged bag is the best way. I usually fold the bag and clip it with cloth clippers and store it in cool and dry place.

Added on June 23, 2010, 11:25 amGo! Natural would be fine in either Salmon or Duck formula. If your dog is doing fine taking salmon, you should stick to salmon. I'd suggest you get samples from your pet shop to see if your dog accepts the food.

Dogs will usually eat cold thing. If your dog doesn't has any symptom of upset stomach after eating cold food, you can continue to do so. If you are worried, just let the fruits sit up in room temperature for a while before you feed them to your dog.

Make sure you get those plain yogurt (unflavored, no additives & no sugar) to feed your dog. A spoonful per day should be sufficient.

@Gavin_TYL: Was at a Petsmore in Desa Park City last weekend, they just brought in a wide range of Go! and Now! products from kibbles to canned food. These are their locations in Cheras, perhaps you can give one of the stores near your area a call to check if they have Go! in stock:

Bloody expensive food though, a 6lb bag costs over RM80, can't remember exact price. Comparatively, a 5.5lb bag of Orijen (with a more meat-heavy ingredients list = higher cost) retails at RM65. But what I like is that they sell 1lb bags which range from RM14-17 which is a great size for just buying to try out so you don't get stuck with a huge bag of food if your dog hates it

Bought a trial-size pack of Now! Senior Formula to try out with an old spitz with kidney issues I'm fostering. Honestly I'm not too happy with certain ingredients like potato flour (pretty filler-y ingredient) and the kibble doesn't smell anywhere near as good as Orijen but I'm willing to give it a shot to see if a supposedly age-appropriate formula will suit her more. Her previous diet was Orijen kibble for morning meals and California Natural canned food or raw food for evenings - her second blood test results showed great improvement (kidney readings almost normal!) compared to her test results when she first came from being boarded at a vet (not sure what kibble she was fed, guessing probably Science Plan). Her improved kidney readings support research findings that a high protein diet (>30%) doesn't cause kidney issues, in this dog's case it didn't even aggravate her kidney problems, instead the function improved! Only thing I'm not happy about is that she sheds a lot - so I'm in the market for a preferably grain-free lower protein kibble to see if tuning down the protein helps lessen the shedding. Either that or she's allergic to chicken lol, it's a main ingredient in all her meals.

sorry out of topic, did you supplement your dog with Ipakitine and Azodyl? that will help his kidney

No worries glad for any suggestions that might help! Do you know which vets have the meds you suggested? How much do they cost? She was actually prescribed Fortekor by the vet (a med to improve heart circulation, not kidney-specific - my neighbourhood vet claimed there are no kidney specific meds, translation - they don't stock it lol). The idea was that improved heart circulation would improve blood flow to her kidneys. However when her blood was retested while the kidney readings improved to almost normal (might not even be due to the meds, could be more attributable to her diet), her liver readings which used to be good became elevated! My first instinct was that the stress of the liver processing her meds caused the liver readings to go up but the vet claimed it was unlikely - I then double-checked with a pharmacist who disagreed with the vet and thinks it's likely the meds (incidentally, the meds cost RM270 for 2 months' supply so perhaps the vet had a vested interest in assuring me they didn't affect her liver, hmmmm).

She's been med-free for a couple of weeks and there's been no decline in health or activity levels so I'm hoping a third blood test will confirm that all she needs is a good diet for normal kidney function. However if she does need kidney meds info on where to get the meds would be great, my neighbourhood vet is little help with this unfortunately.

Hi all, may i know tat any pet shop in malaysia selling nature's variety instinct dog food? Or it oso oni available in foreign country?

I find that storing it inside the original packaging placed inside a dog food bin with a cover works best for me. I have a tall rectangular bin that takes a bag of 15kg kibble, the combination of the bin and the original packaging (folded) keeps the food free of ants, cockroaches, rats and my two cats.

If you cannot find or don't want to buy a dog food bin, I guess those black rubbish bins work as well? (Just be sure that your other family members or visitors don't mistake it for an actual rubbish bin!)

Thank alot ...i know Asean puppy at tmn segar, but not usually shop around pet store in that area.. Thank your info anyway

Most good foods are good for any breed so any of the foods suggested in this thread would most likely do well with your basset hound.

As for dogs being generally smelly, there are a number of things that can cause it. Food can be a contributing factor, if there is a very strong and distinct smell (although i can't really describe what it smells like, just that if you know what it is, you knwo when you smell it) then fungus is highly likely. Some other skin issues like abnormal production of natural oils can create some kind of odor.
One very common cause is that a dog isn't dried off properly after having a shower/getting wet. This creates warm damp areas (especially under the armpits, behind the ears and other similar places, which is ideal for things like bacteria to grow.

A good groomer or vet should be able to help you identify (or at least narrow down the possibilities) the cause of your dog's odor problem.

yea...i just got my dog recent...and now...i wan to ask a serious question...my dog..this few days..poo with blood...what happen on my dog ? please help !

When was your dog last dewormed?
Do you give your dog tap water or filtered water to drink?
How many vaccinations has he had?
Are there any other symptoms (lethargy, lack of appitite)?
Has he chewed up anything like wood/cooked bones or swallowed anything else (coin, chemical, anything at all)?

hi everyone, i new here =)
i was wondering is this okay for a 3month old yorkies?

[ Mix a small handful of the dry kibble with 2 tablespoons of canned puppy food and 1 tablespoon of water. Let the mixture sit for 10minutes to allow the dry kibbles to absorb some of the canned food flavoring so the puppy will eat everything and not just pick at the canned food. ]


oh and, regarding on divas's previous quote,
what water should we feed our pup? tap or filtered?

when my dog was 3 months, i feed him with kibbles soak with hot water. then i let it cold and feed to him.

my dog is a lucky dog. i give him drink filtered water. hahaha but i think tapwater is fine too.
