Has anyone here tried Regal for their pets? Cant find any reviews about it.... Hope to hear some input from experienced members here....

hi, can anyone give me a review/feedback on Regal?

does it mean that expensive brand means good food?

usually the dog food bag tells to put half cup/1 cup to feed, but what type of cup exactly are they refering to?

i'm currently in a dilemma as my puppy dont seem to be interested in the high end expensive brand of kibbles.... I tried giving her Artemis & Acana Grain Free.... and she has problem taking them down like how a normal dog would go bonkers over food.... but according to her breeder, she used to take down her food like a greedy pig when she was taking Natural Balance.... problem is, she is still underweight as i can feel her ribs....

should i continue to feed her good food but she wont finish her meals / eat alot?
or
should i give her slightly lesser quality food but maybe she will eat alot, but probably wont digest much as the ingredients wouldnt be that good?

could it be that some dogs dont like the kibbles to be a mixture of few types of meat? as the previous 2 flavours i bought contain a mix of lamb, fish, chicken etc

yes i did.....

No offence here jz sharing what i noe.... alpo, pedigree and all that brands u find in supermarkets are actually rubbish kibbles.... They do not contain much meat instead alot of empty fillers such as corn.... I think that is why ur dog refuse to eat them.... Try changing to a better brand....

fur coat is not the full/only measurement of whether the dog food is good or not.... i think Divas and a few other more experienced dog owners have mentioned it before in earlier posts....
looking through the ingredients of the dog food gives the idea whether a dog food is good or not.... they are supposed to be listed according to what is the most followed by 2nd till the least.... food like alpo, pedigree lists corn as their 1st ingredient which is something dogs arent able to digest, not to mention the other low quality ingredients....
you can look through dog food review websites such as http://dogfoodanalysis.com and get a rough guide on how to choose a good brand of dog food and how is the review on those brands....
dogs arent able to choose a good food for themselves (except for a few picky eaters) so it is up to us owners to give them a good food for their wellbeing.....

For those who are or have tried giving their furkids innova (not evo range), how did the poo came out? Firm? Smelly?
And how about addiction salmon bleu or venison?
Thx

so far what I know is that big bags are always non-resealable.... so what we usually do is buy 1 small bag and recycle that resealable bag.... when we buy a big bag, we pour some into a few small bags and tie the big bag tightly... the less times you open the bag, then can keep the food inside fresher for a longer time...

either that or you get a air tight container to keep the food inside....

From what i have read before, it is not recommended to feed large breed pups with too high protein content diet... High protein diet would encourage growth spurts which is what we want to avoid in large breeds as they are more prone to hip dysplasia...
Also if your dog does not do daily vigorous or high energy activities, its not recommended to gv high protein diet as they wont need to burn that much of calories, some dogs may end up having skin problems due to too much protein...
Usually protein content btwn 21-28% should be sufficient for regular activity dog...
Hope this helps u...
