Well, it's good to know that you are willing to adopt a stray. Good thing indeed.

Well, for starters, would suggest you to bring to the vet for a check up. Normally a check up won't cost much, consultation is like RM20 mostly... but some can go up to RM60 depending on which vet. Anyway, just carry about RM100 with you lah just in case.

Food wise.... do not give left over food.... not really healthy lah. Get hold of a good bag of dogfood. Avoid brands like Alpo or Pedigree.... not healthy at all. You can try looking for premium brands. ANF is not bad, along with Eukanuba and Nutro... you can find those brands at Pet Safari. Some may think mongrels do not need such good food but they actually do. It prolongs their lives and also less health problem later.

Erm.. that's the best I can think of.... do read up on this thread, dog care answers are there http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/425864

ya , some people tot if a mongrel , those owner just give them left over food , this is bad idea , although is mongrel but they do need more nutrition and good dog food . never '' NEVER '' buy those food from supermarket which is ALPO or PEDIGREE , sumtimes i saw many consumer still buy those alpo or pedigree from supermarket...sigh ... i do hope they more care and love their own furkid more , which is make their live more heatlhy and live longer.

yeah , website do help us to how to care own furkid . sumtimes i do research myself. anyway i really appreciate what you do which is u willing to rescue a stray dog . u know what ? i went ikano last 3 month and i still remember i went a adoption booth at a corner which is btw ikano and ikea , and the adoption booth do really good and well , and i do pay a visit there , and see those puppies . and one middle age women , ask what breed is this dog btw , free of charge ? one of a staff there say is a mix breed , then the women reply '' huh , it mean is a MONGREL '' lah ...and she whisper to her family '' who want mongrel '' that time i really angry , and tell the staff those people just want branded dog , why dun just go buy a pure breed and visit adoption booth , it make me more annoying and feel those people look down on a mongrel . so you are doing a right thing , i really appreciate it . god bless u thumbup.gif

I agree that some people just want purebreed dogs, which is rather unfair to the mongrels. They are still dogs no matter what breed are they. Haihs.. really pity those mix breed puppies..  cry.gif

yeah , there still many mongrel need home and care from adopter .there's many forum showing those mongrel need home badly ... sigh . what i hope is i hope they will find a good home soon . cry.gif

Err.. Why ALPO or PEDIGREE not good for our dog ? LOL those are the famous company for pet food leh.. how come u say not good huh ?
*
hmm terrorist ya is true those manufacture is from those famous company but then how 2 say it purchase at hypermarket . easy example way to decribe : supermarket for dog food = fast food . and u will see those pedigree and alpo dog food is not with good ingredient . well , one of my friend want buy Alpo because he want to save money , and his dog always drop fur . it mean eat more those dog food is no good for health lor .

eh terriost , this is what i copy from a thread called puppy caring . crazymouse_yyh write :

Brand of Food
- The best is of course Holistic. If you were to get a dog that is prone to skin problems, one should give California Natural a try. It really does improve the skin and fur. Other holistic types of dogfood are Canidae, NutriEdge, EaglePack Holistic, Innova Holistic... there are more brands but I will just mention those for now. If you can't locate holistic, go for super premium like Eukanuba, Nutro, Blackwood, ProFormance....
- How to locate a good brand of dogfood? Look at the ingredients, the first 5 listed food ingredients used should not be corn or wheat, should not be Meal, should not be Chicken Digest or by-products.... Choose one that says Chicken or Lamb.... not meal but the meat. Dogs can be allergic to beef and beef can attract more ticks.
- If one wants to feed a homecooked diet, you must take into consideration of the amount of meat, rice and vegie. Also, homecooked meals may not contrain minerals that dogs need so you must give vitamin supplement tablets and also Omega oils to keep the dog healthy. Dogs on homecooked meals are also proned to teeth decay so the owner has to clean the teeth after everymeal.


hope u will find a suitable dog food for ur notty furkid ya hehe tongue.gif

Well... always the cheapest dogfood is not the right kind.... you can try to visit some petshops and ask them to show you their stock. Read the ingredients. Make sure no by-products. As long no by-products then you can safely buy for your dog lah. It is hard to recommand a brand like that here coz there are so so many brands.... of course the best are NutriEdge, California natural, Eaglepack, Blackwood, .....

Try and get hold of Nutro. You can locate this brand at Pet Safari at Ikano....
*
ya honestly is really hard to recommend the best food brand here , like she say there really many brand of dog food here . but of course not encourage to buy those dog food from supermarket . those dog food is cheap , but if ur furkid eat more , will they healthy ? unsure.gif

yup its true there are alot of stray cats and dogs out there. it breaks my heart seeing them out there, compared to our furkids.

sigh , cannot save all of those stray dogs and cats oso de...sumtimes i wanted to call spca to take those stray cats perhpas they will find a better owner.but then i find even worse , because what i heard the other say , it might be kill if really no buddy adopt them in dunno how many days , i think a year ? well , i rather give them some food to eat .. rather them let people kill...>< those stray cat and mongrel is innocent also right .

method to shoo those stray cats away i think perhpas u can move the stray cat a better place to stay ? but dun use cruel way ya . many those people who sell mee or whatever use boiled water and shoo cats away , i feel very very cruel . sigh ... i very pity of those animal which is being bully by human . we should care them oso ya ^^ but dun worry those stray cat will not bully ur puppy thumbup.gif
