Try Innova Evo. But thats even harder to find than Royal Canin. Where are you located, Suet?

Have you dewormed her? Puppies below 3 months should be dewormed every 2 weeks and thereafter every 3 months

t3ng t3ng, where are you located?

I am in Sunway. We do grooming here too but we charge RM80 for full groom. If you want cheaper, you can try Lee Pet in Pudu. I think they charge RM70. Not too sure. Can call them and ask.

You got PMed

It's about RM40 for the 6in1 jab

Today a toy poodle (4 months old) came in for grooming and he was seriously UNDERWEIGHT. So, we asked the owner what she was feeding. Here comes the sickening part. She said she was feeding dog food but she gave very little. So, we asked why and she was told by the breeder to control the dog's feeding if she wanted the dog to remain small!!!!

For those of you who want to have really small dogs, please please please please do not limit the dog's food just because of that. It is downright cruel and will cause serious health problems. Please don't be blinded by your desire to have small and cute dogs.

Puppies must eat puppy food and must be fed with sufficient food. There are some breeders who also recommend that in order for puppies to maintain their size, they should be fed with adult/maintenance food. This will stunt their growth and it is NOT right!

Please remember that they are dogs and cannot tell you that they are hungry or that they are not growing well. They depend on their owners to take care of their needs.

My hubby said the exact same thing about African children. Hopefully after we educated her, she will feed more. When I bathed the dog, I could feel all its bones. So sad.....

She feeds her dog 3 spoons a day. In addition to supplements, my 6 month old toy poodle eats 1 and a half cups of Canidae a day and a half boiled egg every other day!

Then she asked "Eh, why my dog's fur and skin so terrrible ah?" Haiyo, not enough food, hence not enough nutrition, ma the fur terrrible la.

I really hope that the next time the dog comes for grooming, the dog has put on more weight.

Nowadays people seem obsessed with small dogs. Sometimes, so bloody irritating. Yesterday, I had a customer asking me whether I had small small shih tzu and when I asked her how small, she opened both her arms to show about 4 inches long. I was like huh? I told her don't have and I told her that if she found a shih tzu that size, that dog would have serious health problems. She said, it's ok, as long small. OMG!!! What are people thinking????? Like crazymouse said, want so small, get a hamster la!

It's days like these that I wonder what the world is coming to.

Kelly, my overweight chihuahua. Hahahaha. She use to have gastric and sensitive stomach problems, so the vet said to free feed her. After free feeding her on Eagle Pack Holistic Duck (suppose to be for dogs with sensitive stomachs) for a couple of months, she just piled on the pounds so now she is on controlled feeding - fed twice a day. If she doesn't finish her food within 15 minutes, it's taken away.

Here's a picture of her in her 'Fish'.

Kelly also use to shed like crazy. She stopped when I fed her Addiction Vegetarian but I so kesian her eat vegetarian food, so now I feed her EP with salmon oil. Still sheds but not as bad as before la.

On another note, I appreciate that you don't simply pet strange dogs (although Kelly would love it la - she very very manja wan). I always feel that people should ask before they simply pet dogs - what if the dog is aggressive and bites the person. Then become whose fault?? Believe or not, there are plenty plenty of people who touch stranger's dogs without asking. I understand if the dog is running free outside but if the dog is leashed or cordoned off, I think it's only right they ask - just my two cents thought la.

Thanks White Palace.

No problem la. Use to it....so many dogs pee and poo here hahahaha That's why got tissue standby all the time.

IMHO, it is not right to say that Indonesian maids do not really like dogs. Personally, I feel that it is a racist remark to make - but that's my personal opinion. But I do realise that you were asking a question, wanting to learn and did not assume, so for that, I take my hat off to you.

Anyways, to generalise a nationality like that is like saying all Malaysians are cheaters (just because a local taxi driver fleeced a foreigner) or that all Malaysians don't like dogs. A foreigner may meet a Muslim Malaysian and find out that it is against his religion to touch a dog's saliva. Would it be right for the foreigner to conclude that all Malaysians are like that?

Not liking animals, be it a dog or cat is a personal thing and has nothing to do with the nationality of the person. Therefore, some Malaysians, Indonesians, Americans, etc do like dogs and some don't.

Really not trying to tell anyone off here but sometimes it is in forums like these that we need learn.

On another note, crazymouse is right. Treating a maid like one of the family makes a huge difference. It would be good for people to remember that they are humans too. They feel emotion, humiliation and pain too - they just have not had the same privileges as some of us. Sorry for the rambling but I am sometimes so disgusted at seeing some people treat their maids so horribly. They scream and yell at them in public and I always feel that the screamers are the ones who are uneducated.

I use Eagle Pack. I like it

Kelco will be the same price anywhere in Malaysia. Seapark is the distributor, so I don't think you will get it cheaper anywhere else.

Need to take into account that shipping and taxes cost a lot of for imported goods to be brought into this country and they would need to add that cost into the shampoo. That's probably why you find it cheaper online.

Most pet shops sell Greenies wat. Buy the 16oz value pack la. More worth it ma

RSP for 16oz is RM69.00. Some petshops give discount

you are giving them a whole bag a week???

Actually, should blend the vegetables as dogs cannot digest whole vegetables. Raw is fine but just need to blend. Also, if one intends to go BARF, one should ensure that all ingredients make for a balanced meal.
