Hi all....Just got myself a 1 1/2 month old Golden Retriever.....

Any advice on the recommended kibbles for the pup.

Am thinking of getting the Orijen LBP pack for my pup. Have had recommendations to try out NutriEdge Stage 1, Blackwood 2000, Nuaram Puppy, Golden Eagle Puppy, Pro Plan Puppy Lamb & Rice. Any comments?

Any hook-ups on places that I can get em' from at good pricing (Orijen LBP). The ones I've seen online were priced at RM295 for the 13.5KG pack.

Appreciate your help here....

Is your pup a female? I have a 3 month old male GR. Can get them to socialise or maybe if you require stud services if it is a female we can arrange to let them meet in future. smile.gif

GRs are really smart and adorable!

Mine is a 1.5 months old MALE bro...but nevertheless I like the idea of socializing them....atleast to get CASPER (my pup) to be more enthusiastic....

Dear all,

I am planning to adopt a 2-year old golden retriever. Can anyone share with me what do you feed the dog? Kibbles? How much is the dog food cost per month?

Thank you.

I am feeding my 2 month old GR ORIJEN Large Breed Puppy...

There's ORIJEN Adult as well --> maybe you can consider that tho' the price is towards the higher rank... nod.gif

Eukanuba if I'm not mistaken falls under the 6-Star rated PREMIUM dog food category.

A good choice indeed if you ask me

Am giving Natural Balance Grain-Free treats for my GR....he loves it to bit....

....so I think their kibbles wouldn't be that bad either....

There is a shop in Tanjung Tokong, Penang selling TOTW. I've been feeding my pup Orijen but it didnt work well on her so I've switch to Acana and still not really working for her. Hence, wanted to find something else for her
*
Cool....but I haven't seen one here in KL yet.

Maybe its hidden somewhere tongue.gif

Which ORIJEN have you been feeding your pup?

Orijen for puppy. My pup is 5 month old. Was thinking of annamet but according to the shop assistant it's for adult dog. (can feed but don't recommend). She is recommending me Natural Balance.
*
Well my pup is just 1 week away from being 4 months old and he is being fed with Orijen Large Breed Puppy and he absolutely LOVES it!!!!!

It depends at times on the breed its being fed to. Some smaller breed might have issues with Orijen due to its 'claimed' high Protein level....

Mine is a westie-poodle. She was on Orijen Puppy for 2 months and she was itching like crazy. The doctor says it's not allergic. Then I switch to Acana. Less scratching . Not too sure if it's due to the high protein level. Poo was smelly when she was eating Orijen. Acana - smells better (still smells like poo =D )
*
Awesome phrase above there mate.... tongue.gif

Anyways, it may or may not be of the Protein level IMHO....

My pup has had itch like a few weeks after going into Orijen diet....one vet told me to change the food....another told me not to worry its just an bacterial infection and prescribed him with some medications - Now, he has no more itch issues....

Where to get it from? The pet shops here in klang don't seem to keep this formula.. i also saw some other formulas on their website which are not available here.. Eg : Synergy


Added on October 8, 2012, 10:34 pmI tried Acana, Nurtisource and Orijen Large Breed Puppy for my GSD of 4.5 months old.

He didn't seem to be doing good with all these 3.
Acana was the best among all the three.

With Nutrisource, BAD!
Orijen - BAD!

His stools r extremely loose. Kinda like having diarrhea. I do not know if its the protein content that is affecting it or due to some other reason?
*
Acana & Orijen are from the same company.

AFAIK the difference between the two are from their nutritional returns and some minor ingredients....

I could be wrong here nevertheless

I got a 4.5 months Shih Tzu, previously was fed with Origen Puppy  nod.gif

Ya, the poo is terrible smelly and soft, hard to clean it, sometime it will stick at her fur as well, have to take bath every few days  rclxub.gif

So far I just fed that for 2 weeks time, but her weight was grow almost 1kg  shocking.gif

I think the protein is too high for it, so I decided to change others brand. whistling.gif

I think it depends on the pup's genetics itself.

I don't have issues with smelly or soft stool with Orijen LBP...

I still think it depends on the breed and its genetics....it suits some and not others...

My GR was on Orjien before. I used to get em' from Pet Playground at Ara Damansara. Also available at Summer Pet & Seapark Pet Supplies at SS2.

Another option that's equal/on-par with Orijen will be Taste of The Wild. thumbup.gif

Is there a specific brand breeder always like to promote? I don't want to mention brand name but they always push me to get that brand when I purchase a pure bred from them.

Well generally they tend to push for their house brand. Probably because they buy em' in bulk and thus get a better price for it as compared to retail.
