hi, can give me some guidances..appreciation for sharing with ya biggrin.gif

My M.Schnauzer (11 month) currently eat Natural balance (sweet potatoes & salmon) and mixed with Addiction Raw Dehydrated (venison favor)..

1) Addiction almost finish and i want to change differ brand due to Addiction after soak with water (moist) really mess and yellowing MS beard rclxub.gif ..and i think to change GO! Natural (salmon favor), is it recommend to feed both salmon favor (N.balance and GO! Natural) or should i choose Go! Natural Duck formula ?

2) My furkid alright with N.Balance and Addiction and i had bought ACANA (puppy chicken favor) before but it's seem not suit him ( poo solid but smelly and he fart a lot blink.gif )..so i wonder GO! Natural brand suit him or any other recommend kibbles?

3) My MS is a black and silver and i hav no idea his black fur fade look like a brown fur...the groomer had told me that was a puppy fur but he ald 11month...so i wonder is that food caused, any idea?

4) Can dog eat cold thing (i stored fruits in refrigerator and giv him eat while stil cold) ? and a lot of fruit intake (like 3/4 of whole apple) ?

5) i saw previous posted said that poor digestion system result their stool show orange o etc undigested food....yaya, my furkid poo usually show orange n fruit...so yogurt or yakult help (really the human intake yogurt any fruits favor or got dog) ? the proportion to feed?

6) where i can buy GO! Natural (i'm base in Cheras) any nearest pet store offer?

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:
http://www.petsmore.com.my/storelocator.asp#Cheras Area

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 smile.gif

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.
