You can use Pedegree budget buy raw chicken (rm7.50/kg) or pork (rm7.00/kg) fr your dog. Unless it's too young.
That's what i do, transfer the food fund to real food. Now my freezer is always full. 满。 During CNY also can put sticker满 liao.

Just now I read the food advisor from your link. Seems like my previous dog food, Bil Jac also not good enough

You can easily get Orijen in Petsmore, Pet family and other petshop. 2.7KG gonna cost you RM70+. A lil expensive. So i suggest you to take bigger pack. If you wan a cheaper but also a good quality kibble, you can get Innova for adult which cost about RM50+. (Not Innova Evo as it's as expensive as Orijen) U need to gradually feed your terrier by mixing the new one with old one. For any switching to new kibbles, i always do in this manner. 70 old, 30 new - 5 days 50 old, 50 new - 5 days 30 old, 70 new - 5 days 100% new This post has been edited by adriankhoo153: Aug 18 2011, 02:31 PM

Couldn't agree more. But do your research before buying a food or starting any home meals by urself. A six star food is only a rating given by normal human beings given on its ingredients. Its by no means a universal god-written ratings given to rank a certain food. Orijen's overly high protein content is known to cause reactions in dogs, irregardless what claims are made over the internet over high quality protein don't cause anything bla bla bla. I've seen so many reactions first hand that I'm definitely not convinced bout orijen's wondrous claims.
Barf itself, without proper research, is a ticking time bomb. With proper research and knowledge, it's indeed biologically appropriate and would certainly result in a healthier happier pet, but if everyone would jump right into it, thinking they have done enough research by reading up on a few articles, then you're seriously heading for a huge medical bill. I bought over five thousand ringgit worth of books on nutrition, including university nutritional studies, veterinary nutritional studies, human nutritional studies, read a thousand articles online about feeding pets ourselves, i got books on natural health, on commercial dog food, on the bad side of commercial dog food, good side of commercial dog food, on the bad and good of feeding pets ourselves, on supplements, herbs, biological history, on wolves and their lifestyle, of food food and food, and so so many recipe books, and i am still very careful on feeding my dogs. Someone i know tried feeding their dog barf and the dog died of protein poisoning because the overload of protein on the kidneys rendered them unable to filter and therefore causing the protein by products to flow back into the bloodstream. This is just an example of someone who thought they know what they were doing but turns out they don't.
So, be careful
