woah RC so expensive huh.. some more copper is big eater =_= not enough 1 month already finish.. D:

i dun know... why would a shih tzu need almost 2x as much fat compared to an M.S.? also, most of the ingredients look sama jer, just that their positions are swapped.
perhaps they have different formulas, 'supposedly' optimised by breed... They could perhaps market it as formula A, formula B etc

then surely the M.S. formula is wrong as most MS are allergic to chicken and corn which features prominently in the first ten ingredients.

Added on September 13, 2007, 12:36 pmyou guys are correct - if RC is super sweet/super fragrant/ super tasty perhaps like little kids with chocolate our furkids will be addicted!

Also as for the meals thingy... eagle pack holistic has many 'flavours' - i've not noticed any difference between chicken, lamb and fish varieties but the 'duck' variety i tried last time round seems to result in one of my furkids licking her 'tail' excessively

check this out.
http://www.royalcanin.us/dogfood/

even science diet also dun have so many varieties... just like Hienze Baked Beans - 52 varieties!

ROFLMAO really alot of varieties worh >_< some more small dogs also need to differentiate o.O"

Rc really lots of Varieties ler ....


pennywise ,
so ur choose which brand for ur Casper ?
now the vote is Orijen - 9 ppl & blackwood - 9 ppl

I hope nobody here is spending SO much to feed CRAP food like royal canin to their dogs.

It's ridiculous to charge that price when you look at their extremely LOW quality ingredients.

Orijen will give Casper skin problems again. Blackwood I dont really like. I'd go for Acana since it's made by the same people who do Orijen but lower in protein.

why not try solid gold?

solid gold is oso expensive larh.

hmm... true. but it worked like a charm for me kids, how old is casper?

How much is consider expensive for dog Kibbles?

Solid Gold expensive hahahah.... but it is worth a try... so far I am quite happy with Orijen, my dog is fit, no overweight problems since she is an indoor dog, eats twice a day too.

Acana is ok too. My bigger dogs eat like pigs, so Orijen would burn a big hole with 2 big eaters, they also take 2 meals a day.

It's always better to go for Holistic dogfood if you compare the price, is really not much difference from some super premium food.

Solid gold is >RM200 for a 15kg bag (puppy food).
Haven't try it before though, but my cousin is feeding his rottie this.

Fala consumes 14kg of Orijen a month . more than I spend myself on food for a month . Never heard of Solid Gold though .

solid gold ar..da bag is like metalic colour with a sunny label.
not much petshops carry this brand as its expensive.
i still think RC is da most exp brand..
addiction dehydrated food, more exp than RC kibbles..

I saw the Addiction Dehydrated food.... tempted to get but so so expensive..... summore such small boxes.

will too much protein harm a dog ah?

da 1 box cost rm79.90 lehz.
i terus changed my mind lol..

It's not easily available and it's expensive.

How expensive is it actually?

Casper is turning 1 year old on 16 Oct 2008.

I think anything above RM45 for 2.5kg is expensive?? Orijen is like the best dog food based on most votes and that's like RM45 for 2.5kg. Anything more expensive is considered expensive.

Yea, I am thinking of Acana because its produce by the same ppl who made ORijen.

RM200?! Wah liao eh... expensive but then can eat many months if its for Casper.

... What dog is Fala? Macam like quite a lot nia.

I'm not too sure but perhaps Hun can enlighten us?

I only know that protein for dogs and protein for human who goes to gym is the same. If you eat a lot of protein and work out, you will be very fit. This applies to dogs and gym go-ers. But if you eat a lot of protein and yet stay indoor and dont workout, then everything will turn into fats.

I also read somewhere that too much protein may harm the liver or kidney, forgotten. Moreover, protein is sort of like 'heaty', thats why you see gym go-er eat a lot of protein, become very fit but also got a lot of pimples. They can overcome by drinkings lots of water and eat lots of fruits. But how often our furkid eat fruits? Dog do not know "oh it's heaty, drink more water..." Hence, this leads to skin problem for sensitive skin dogs like my Westie.

How it lead to cancer, I am not sure but if it's coming from my gf, I think can believe kuaaa... at least for myself la. =) Hehehe... No choice, if I dont believe my wife, who will, right? She may be right or may not be right but she studied pharmacies and she love dogs, so I am sure she has her explanation.
