Blackwood so so only. D fur not so nice w blackwood, for tht price unless u wanna get breeder pack of 25kg then maybe still worth paying compare to outside u r paying such a high price for a so so kibbles.

Natural balance alpha formula - whitefish, salmon and trout. This is d best so far that i tested on my dog but super expensive as d biggest pack is 11kg, rm 2xx..

I no longer giving this coz too pricey cannot tahan as i hh three dogs to feed.

Used to last me abt 3-4 weeks depending on whether i purely give this alone or mix with others.

Currently am mixing eagle pro n belcando for him. 15kg bag usually last me abt 1 month or +.

Ermmm.... Usually i keep my pups in the house until he is big enough to stay outside within the porch compound.

I keep my pup in a small confine area with clean water, but bear in mind they might be quite naughty n mess up the whole area, therefore cleaning is needed pn daily basis if possible.

My pup used to eat n shit n urine on his sleeping area and i have to train him to shit n urine separately on a matt. Its best to have a bigger area for a gsd, as they need to run n play as well as exercising in a large area when they have grown up.

I dont know if pond is a good idea not as they might be too naughty n might even get drowned if they were to jump into it, but as we all know dogs can swim however im not too sure with pups i have no experience with ponds. Grasses or gardens are good for them at least it will help them strengthen their joints n muscles by running on a grass area instead of slippery tiles. Tiles r not a good choice for pups especially gsd. Coz their hind legs especially showline might cause hips displacia.

One thing to bear in mind, gsd loves to play with water, my pup even until now at the age of 2, still plays with water, he will put his whole face n both front legs into the pail whenever he could. So will have to clean n wipe dry him from time to time to prevent tangled hair n smelly body.

Honestly speaking i never had such a naughty dog until i had this gsd pup, so its my first challenge in my whole life experience so far. But its under controlled and i love him for who he is, he is such a naughty but protective lovely dog. He will walk with me everywhere i go n is quite obedient when i bring him out. When i wash my car or clean d porch he will sit just next to me n watch me do work. Unfortunately he has some digestive problem, which is quite common in gsd's i think or maybe my batch is just the unlucky one.

I sprayed bayticol mixture all over my home n mopped the whole house with it and the very next day all ticks appeared n i killed em all. Those babies super mini's one are dead but not those smaller ones, i hv to kill em all myself n repeat the whole procedure from time to time.

Ticks can live without food for 6-12 months in the surrounding. U gotta constantly apply bayticol on the dogs n spray all over the surrounding corners n kill all the ticks immediately continuosly for weeks until u see zero ticks...

Clorox shud help too but i havent try it out myself though. But pls dont spray clorox onto ur dogs.

Haha yea it was clear to me .

Btw im wondering if ticks can live on human host , inside d body? Maybe by crawling into the ears or nose or we accidentally swallowed it in? Its kinda scary though, ticks r all over my living hall n room even on my legs n body sometimes i found it on my mattress as my dogs live indoor.

I hate it so much whenever i see them in my room. Yucks!!!

Yes of coz grass is definitely a better choice, but i would prefer natural grasses as they r softer. According to my friend, it does helps strengthen the hips n joints of our gsd's by running n playing on a soil ground, bcz its soft and wont hurt their joints growth with them often stomping on a hard surface. Tiles is a no no bcz it is slippery n puppies love to run around n that will hurt every joints of theirs.

As for the pond, im only afraid one thing, pups might tend to jump into it. And what happens next? They do not know how to come up back. Either d pup will bite all d fishes in it or d fishes will bite ur pup. Does koi bites btw?

I have a fren who has a waterfall pond n his pup often climbed onto it n not knowing howto climb up back. But his has no fish. Only waterfall. Moreover i bliv d pup will be very attracted to the fishes in d pond as they do not know what r those. They would be very eager to find out those moving fishes.

Well abt digestive disorder i think gsd is very prone to such isses from the read up on google. Especially twisting of the stomach/intestine. And that could cause death. But i dont know why, perhaps its genetic, or its js d breed itself. So far its mostly common on gsd, as thats what mentioned there. But my gsd is soft stools.... Arrgghh!! Lau sai and soft stools.... Dunno what else can i do. I tred changing the diet to raw n only grain free food as he totally cabbot consume rice. U can see almos immediate effect whenever he consumes rice eg; if i give him on d night for dinner n the very next morning my whole house will be fille with patches of his diarrhea. Anyone here has similar experience? I been to the vets n i was told its just in his gene, they conclude it as ibs, epi, digestive disorder. No giardiasis no infection ntg. N was told to try out with enzymes...

I hve no issues for my labradors, they r doin fine. And they can eat whatever they like, without having any issues.

I think u could seek those ppl who is specialise in building kennel on d sizes. Stainless steel should be good in my opinion.

Hey guys

Would anybody be interested to get this probiotics manufactured by Ark Naturals?

I do have some stocks received today as i ordered in bulk, if anyone would like to get it kindly do pm me.

RM 38 / bottle, fixed price.

Im located in Klang. Its imported from the USA and manufactured there itself.

I understand many vets are selling at a much higher price, i used to get from Dr Yap and he charged me RM 60 / bottle!! SO ridiculous!

Yes hard flooring applies to all large breed pups. It will have the tendencies to hurt their joints but at d same time not recommended to supplement them wkth calcium.

Gsd is definitely more active than labradors .

Personally pedigree is not a good brand to me it has lotsa artificial colours n bad ingredients in it, never buy it. Whats ur budget like? Or is price not an issue to u? Try natural balance fish formula; grain free salmon, trout and whitefish (if i rmbr d sequence), this is special formula and very good but super expensive. Im currently feeding eagle pro, grain free budget a bit, but better than blackwood.

Blckwood i tried but doesnt seem too good, d fur a bit dull n it caused my dogs hair to drop more. Well dogs can eat rice but my gsd cannot due to his digestive disorder. Pity him.. His pancreas is unable to produce sufficient enzymes to metabolize and digest d food so im feeding him with lypex.

Fresh raw meats r good for them, remember their ancestors n wild animals they consume raw fresh meat. I do ovassionally give then raw meat whenever possible in fact its even better than dry dog food. If u r able to do so u can feed him with raw beef everyday. For snacks i buy the big big bones as a reward for them they love it lots.

I think any plain yogurt will do. I frd my dogs with plain yogurts and they seem to love it but i personally find it very sour.

Not only for german sheperd, any dogs or cats can consume it. Its a supplement for the stomach.

U know probiotics? Good bacteria for the stomach to combat the bad bacterias. Its good for the digestive system as well as for those who takes antibiotics, that kills off all good n bad bacterias, probotics will help to supplement ur stomach with good ones.

Mine is eagle pro , i dont think its d same as eagle pack.

Im feeding him the fish formula, herring is one of d ingredients as what i could recall.

Haha sorry been pretty busy lately.

Well, i believe it is only my gsd having this issue as he has EPI - in short his pancreas is not fuctioning well to produce enzymes for digestion of food.

My choices of dogs would mainly be gsd's and labradors .
If i could own a tiger or even a tibetan mastiff, i'd love to try that as well.

I love big big dogs! But not rottweilers. Hehe.

Whixh type of gsd r u looking for? Show line work line? For workline i think someone here is a breeder but i cant recall his nick, u will have to check from previous posts.

For show line , there r many but how reliable im not too sure and i do not know of any good ones so far.

I think there is one which i remember seeing from previous posts , located in kl. my advise is make sure u see d pup personally before deciding.

Go over and choose urself rather than seeing it from d pics. I learnt from my mistakes though. My gsd unfortunately doesnt have his testicles descended, so will have to go for surgery to locate and remove em. And as for my batch, there has been couple of health problems with d pups. It was quite disappointed to experience this actually.

Thanks dishwasher.

Ill be getting him into surgery soon probably by this year, however im quite concern if he needs to live a night in the clinic, that would freak him off, as he never stay apart from me, not at all. Whenever i go out or leave him alone, he will be barking at me, he is a very sticky dog following me where ever i go.

Im getting it below rm180 for a 13kg bag. Recently i mixed it with natural balance as i just couldnt resist the result after temporarily given him NB when eagle pro was out of stock then.

Im getting em at a slightly lower than the discounted retail price. I dont think outside is selling any price lower than this.

What about yourself? Which do u feed urs with?

It doesnt looks good to me. Im not an expert but i think the postural structure isnt too good..

What sort of premium dog food r u looking at? There r many out there actually.
