Hi everyone...need some opinions from you all. I have a 6months+ beagle and 9months+ german shepherd, currently both of them are eating Brit-care Lamb and rice (12kg) pack. Cost RM207 (12kg). both of them can finish it up in less than a month. Started my GSD with brit-care due to his sensitive stomach for past 2-3 months, not sure can change to other kibbles or not now. Any suggestion for decent replacement which is cheaper??

QUOTE(Holyboy27 @ Oct 21 2014, 12:44 AM) Adopted a stray puppy. Currently around 8-9 months; somewhere between 16-18kg. Very nice of you to adopt!At first I started with Pedigree - hair loss, that was an innocent enough mistake when I learned from the pet store to never feed any food I can get from the supermarket. Switched to Bil-Jac for puppies. No more hair loss, puppy seems to like the food but my issue with the feed is that there seems to be a lot of it wasted as the feed easily crumbles to form powders. Switched to NutriEdge - regular one for all stages, Chicken meat. Okay. Pet store says it's the best available. Couldn't find any info about it on the internet so I just went ahead despite it being much more expensive than the previous brand. Dog seems to like it, no problem until I think my dog go bored with this brand. Then there was a promotion for a new range of feed also from NutriEdge - Salmon & grain free. I bought a total of 21kg of the feed. I notice my dog were not so actively feeding. In the past, she'd eat every time I pour feed into the bowl but lately she's just been not wanting to eat. She does eat if I feed her by hand but I don't usually do that unless the feed has been left for more than 6 hours. I also notice that my dog has been shedding a lot lately this past month. I don't think the feed is causing this problem, perhaps it just coincidentally overlapped with my dog's shedding season. I used to feed my dog with nutriedge, chicken then moved to salmon and rice. My dog get bored with it very fast, maybe not that fragrant. They will still eat if i sit there supervise, but takes long time. Sometimes, adding some water to the kibbles help, not flooding it. I've tried Taste of the Wild/Blackwood/Meradog/Solid gold/Profine also, but expensive kibble doesn't always pose better outcome. Now i've changed to lower quality food, Maximus, due to budget issue also, but i give fish oil and sometimes carrot/cucumber to my dog. My dog poop ok and not yet bored with it. I used to be obsessed with reading kibbles review online, trust me, the more you read, the more your head spins. Just get some idea reading kibble beg ingredient and try it. Nutriedge chicken i get 15kg for Rm180 Salmon & rice 15kg i think he quoted me Rm210 Maximus chicken 23kg RM140 Good luck trying out all the brands that fits you budget, too many brands out there. Do note switching too frequent will upset their digestion system, do it gradually always. As i recall, nutriedge is not grain-free, just hollistics. There's a lot of discussion whether grain-free is the answer for quality food (my dog can't take grain-free, diarrhea, haha). Well, it's always better to judge by looking at your own dog, their fur, /poop/growth and etc. |
