Innova is good? how about the poop? smelly?
orijen is how much?

Innova being rated 5 star kibbles so i guess it's good. Poop doesnt smell strong but i am only feeding half cup proplan and half cup innova. Will comment once i feed him 100% Innova. Orijen is much more expensive. I think it's somewhere around Rm70+

wah orijen so expensive le..... don't think can fit into my budget le
will think of trying innova once the old food is nearly finishing... thanks for the advise =)

Please estimate it nicely as you still need to mix with your old kibbles when giving your pup new food.
U need to gradually feed your pupp 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

anyone know where to get innova in PG?

i recently bought anf puppy 3kg pack for rm53, much cheaper than the first time i bought for rm60, is there any cheaper than this? thanks

where can i get it??

n how much it cost me

I think you will look better if u google what is barf.

+1 I agree. Get more info before asking questions.

My pup kept eating Pedigree for puppies for the past few days instead of the Blackwood adult. Is it because the adult version is much harder to chew?

Or maybe his teeth haven't fall out and change to a new teeth?

Orijen, BARF or any other equally awesome foods are the way to go.

Why?

Cheap kibble contains lots of fillers/bad stuff for your dog = Not much is digested = Lots of smelly poo!

So why pay for poo? Since it's more or less the same cuz not much is digested?

Think about it.


Orijen in Japan is RM174 per 2.5kg! I wouldn't complain about KL's pricing.

Just ordered Innova for puppy 13.5 kgs. Price is RM194. Do u think it's expensive? Last time i bought 2.7KG already cost me RM58 after discount. After calculating, the price for 2.7 kgs now cost me Rm38.8. I think quite worth to buy big pack.

Buying big pack is always more worth it than small pack.

since my favourite Artemis is no longer available anywhere, i have been looking up and down for new kibble. Orijen and Acana is out of question as their kibble size is huge and my puppy doesn't like it.

Any comments?

The first 4 main ingredient looks good to me. Dehydrated chicken is considered concentrated meat and much better than chicken meal. But i see conola oil present. I read it somewhere in dog food advisor saying that there is controvesional going on on this oil.

As whole it seems like a very good kibble to me.

Guys, how you store big pack of dog food like 13.6kgs?
In a big container or in the original packaging but tied up with rubberband?

Is this method of calculation correct?
13.6 kilograms = 479oz = 60cup.

If one day i feed 1 cup, it only can last approximately 2 months?
So little?

I buy a big bin and pour the whole bag into it.

As for your calculation, I guess it depends on how big is your cup. I prefer to go by weight since it is more precise.

Also the feed amount depends on your dog's age and size. It might be more than 1 cup.

I personally think that innova and orijien with min crude protein more than 40% is too high for a small breed inactive dog....i personally dun feel comfortable to feed such high protein to my kid..

And our furkids have a very limited life, average 15 years only, i will give the best food to my kid...and the price for a good food is definitely worth anything...


anyone can recommend any pet shop located at KL (prefer kepong) that sell a big variety brand of dog kibble?

Th standard cup which is 1 cup = US 8oz.

Bro, i am feeding Innova for Puppy which has only 26% crude protein only. The one you mention should be Innova Evo.
For Kepong area, you may try petsmore at metro Prima but not really a big variety. But most brand can be preorder from there.

The std cup being 8oz is usually fluid oz, which is a measure of volume not weight. Easy way for you to establish the weight is take your cup and fill it with kibbles and measure the weight. I think it would be around 110-120g only.

What kind of dog do you have and how old is it?
