Jo (divas), how can i forget to grab Canidae off you last Saturday!!! urgh. silly silly silly!!! and you did not remind meeeee!

anyway, there was a pet shop near where i had lunch last sunday and i took a quick walk-through in there. the owner caught up with me and we talked a little about dog food. he mentioned something like since Bailey is about 6 years-old, i should NOT be looking at high protein dog kibbles as the older the dog gets, the lesser protein he/she needs. is it true??

he was telling me orijen should totally be out of my list of consideration if i'm ever looking to change because it's protein level is too high for a 6 year-old dog. any truth in the things he's saying? need advice here!

am currently feeding Bailey with Artemis Fresh Mix, but realised her poo has been the stinkiest pieces around!! not too sure if it's because of the food though? which, come to think of it, i should have grabbed a few packet of nutri-edge samples from your shop too Jo so i get to try and see if it's because of Artemis! urgh silly silly silllyyyyy!!!!

Hello! Was just wondering if any of you heard of Fish4Dogs?

Pet Safari in Ikano (and basically all other outlets of Pet Lovers Centre) has recently brought the brand to the Malaysian market. Was chatting up with a guy that was doing shopping there with 2 of his furkids. He was telling me that Fish4Dogs have been the top seller in Singapore for many years. Pet Lovers Centre actually tried out the Singapore market, proven success, before bringing it into Malaysia. And he added "Singaporeans being... Singaporeans, they only want the best. Hahaha!". He also pointed out the obvious like how the brand is transparent in their percentage of ingredients (though, i added up the total percentage from the ingredients list and it didn't come to a perfect 100%) and went on about how Salmon and Potatoes are its main diet, with a whooping 7.5% of salmon oil. After all that said, i was convinced really just by looking at both of his silky terrier's coat.

Anyway back to the food...

There's 2 types for adult dogs: Fish or Salmon

Good thing about them is that they come in 2 kibble sizes! Normal and small bites.

Finest Salmon 4 Dogs Complete
(I got the below info from the packaging label. However, from their website, their stats vary a little. Not too sure why though!)

I bought 8 packs (4 Fish, 4 Salmon. Planning to alternate them).. So just wanted to hear what you guys think or if anyone had any bad experience with the brand. Can't seem to find any complaints online yet. Cause if there is, I still get to change my mind and exchange for other brands I initially had in mind to buy like Artemis or Oven-Baked.

hey, why not try out fish4dogs? get the one for puppy. i got the one for adult as bailey's 6 year-old now. it's been almost a week now and i thought it works super with her. she loves the kibbles, i feed it to her twice a day, morning and night, about 3/4 cups each time. small differences i realised from fish4dogs from the other kibbles is that
(1) she now isnt hungry all the time (even though i have not changed her feeding amount)
(2) her poo looks healthy (in my own opinion) and she poos once daily. on other brand, she sometimes skip her poo session by a day!
(3) her poo doesnt stink so badly

the brand she's tried (in order) natural balance > artemis > canidae > addiction > fish4dogs

give the brand a try and if your dog doesnt like it at all, you can exchange it for another brand (at pet safari).

has anyone got about to try fish4dogs yet? bailey's on her second 1.5kg pack now. i think she's doing super but not sure if it's too early and soon to tell? would like to hear what all of you have to say on the brand.
