after about 2 weeks of feeding her with orijen (not the fish package) i dun think she or even me and my family can take it.

for her - the stool remains soft and smelly. some of it is a bit watery as well.

for us - hard to clean up and smelly of course. worse is when she spread it around.

need to get a need kibble today...


Added on May 23, 2010, 10:05 amsummary of her diet.
nutri-edge - the kibbles she was feed wif when she was born. stool is firm and nice. no smell.

oven-baked - stool is ok but it causes her to drinks LOTS of water and she'll vomit brown, foamy fluid afterwards. vet gave her some medicine. after the med is finish...she continue to vomit once in a while.

orijen - no more vomitting but the stool is nightmare.

i guess her stomach couldnt take some much meat (protein) at a time...pity i would say.  unsure.gif

Hi Karwaidotnet,
I am feeding my furkid Over-baked. And he had the same problem too, i.e. vomit brown foamy fluid twice. I talked to staff in Pet shop Ikano, and he told me don't feed him too much with Oven-baked because the food will bloated in his stomach. If feeding Oven-baked, have to feed lesser than the usual amount, i.e. feeding 1.5 spoon for oven-baked if you usually feeding 2 spoons for other brands.

Low fat, plain yogurt.
Non safe fruits; grapes.

rice is fine for dogs, but proportionate to dog size and age.
Technically its a carbohydrate,...

The one you bought is the one that has higher concentrated meat inside the canned and also means 95 percent of the canned food is made from chicken and turkey.

Looking at the ingredients... not much difference. The points that am able to highlight from the 2 by looking at the ingredients are...

Evo regular has mixture of turkey, chicken, fish, fruits & vegetables and dairy ingredients and the 95% has much less ingredients which consist only of chicken and turkey meat in the can.

95% also has less carbs 0.46% than the regular formula which is 1.01%

The regular has a higher protein reading, which I think might come different protein sources such as herring, salmon, eggs etc. Egg especially is high in protein products which is the reason i believe why the protein reading is higher than the 95% canned food.

You decide which is best for your furry friend...

You can try lamb formula, fish formula or even grain free formulas. There is quite a number of brands in the market.

I'm using blackwood 3000 , as my Hugo is allergic to chicken as well. Previously he was on purina proplan, but since there was lots of bad review on it, changed to Blackwood. So far no problem

Ohhh...... I like your concept of buying in bulk and split it with your friends!
This way you definately save a lot $$$ and ensure the food is not kept for more then 2 months!
I buy a 15lb bag for my puppy, split the kibbles into smaller bags for storage. (I used to buy the 5lb bags when he started weaning and I kept the bags for this purpose)

He is doing much better with his food now. Now I am afraid if I am over feeding pulak.
Giving him 1 tbsp of plain yogurt once a week, started on evening prim rose oil 2 weeks already,brushing him daily and clean his ear twice a week.
I dont bath him more than once a week, too much work biggrin.gif
What I meant b4 was that, he only had total of 3 baths in his entire 13 weeks as a pup.....you get my meaning??

This goldie dont have hot spot, red skin/spot/ticks nor rashes and i cant figure out what is wrong with him.
He is still on Natural Balance Lamb & Rice - his intake has increase to 3 cups per day.

I started him medicated bath 2 weeks ago, but he is still scratching himself behind the ears and nipping his tail.
Any idea what is going on?
*
Turns out that my pup got ticks infection, the groomer told me after I send him last week. Yikes !!!
No wander he was scratching & nipping most of the time, sigh.
The groomer took care of most of the ticks and i sprayed Frontline on him and give him daily inspection.

Anyone out here tried Acana puppy food on their pet(s)?
Like scorpgal, my pup's poop is ALSO soft and smelly and I mixed it to his Lamb & rice kibbles, been a month already still same results.

Hey people, my pom is now 10 years old and I'm currently on Blackwood. Planning to change food soon. The choice is between California Naturals or Fish4Dogs (but I hardly see reviews on this). I actually thought of Orijen but then I think the protein level might be too high for my dog. Hmm also, I would like something that maybe has glucosamine to help with his joints. Anyone can advice me more on the various good dog food? Thanks !

Depending on your pom's overall health condition i would be wary of switching brands. 10years isn't old, but is old enough to be slightly cautious about changing things up.
However so as long as you change really slowly introducing the new food over a number of weeks, it is very unlikely that there will be any problems.

I would definitely agree with you on staying away from Orijen and other high protein foods at his age. Don't worry about Glucosamine too much, if the food you settle on happens to have it then great, if not never mind. In my experience, foods contain such a small amount of Glucosamine that it won't have much of an effect even if it is there (you can always suppliment with Glucosamine and Chondroitin if you are concerned about his joints).

You seem to be on the right track as far as choosing good foods (i'm not particularly a fan of California Naturals and don't have any experience with Fish4Dogs but they are both good foods in theory), so whatever you decide, that is available conveniently, will probably do fine.

Thanks for the reply Divas smile.gif I'm trying to slowly introduce CN Herring & Potato but the kibbles are too big for his liking ! Fish4Dogs has a relatively high protein too, about 26%. Dr Yeoh told me to go on 20-24% sad.gif Looks like I've got to try looking at other choices now. Ah yea, he's on Synoquin at the moment, so prolly the glucosamine isn't important factor in the food now. What food is your furkid on yea ?

Would agree with Divas on introducing new food to your pet. When changing to other food, we are normally being told 20:80, 50:50, 80:20 method.
