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.

Yes, protein for dogs and humans almost same.... if we don't use up the energy in protein, it would turn to fats.

Skin problems can come about in sensitive dogs. Senior dogs should not take high protein diets. Yes, it is true that too much protein would harm the kidney but this is if the dog has kidney problems. If your dog is active, then high protein is ok. Kidney disease is not caused by high protein. Dogs are created in a way where they can tolerate lots of protein coz in the wild, they do kill prey and eat everything. It won't cause cancer in dogs..... humans yes and maybe but not dogs and cats lah.

To help out, read these:

http://www.thepetcenter.com/imtop/protein.html

Since Orijen's protein are from real meat, it is quite safe.... if the protein is coming from by products, animal fats, soya meal.... then that's a different story.

QUOTE
A fable that has finally been debunked is the one that states that dogs acquire kidney problems from eating too much protein. This fable was repeated so often that it became self-sustaining and axiomatic. Finally, experts in animal nutrition have buried this myth. It simply is not true that high protein levels in dog food cause kidney problems. "The dog can digest large amounts of proteins, especially those of animal origin" stated Prof. Dominique Grandjean DVM, Ph.D., at the Fourth Annual International Sled Dog Veterinary Medical Association Symposium

You can make fruit yogurt puree. Take some apple, a bit of papaya and carrot, blend until soft and smooth like a milk shake, then add yogurt and give it as a treat to your dog.

My dogs like to take sweet fruits but Chelsea likes all kinds of crunchy fruits and vegies, she hates banana and papaya.

Dogs can eat fruits and vegies as treats.... but make sure no onion, no citrus fruits.... also no grapes. Anything with seeds must take out but seeds on Kiwi, Dragon fruit, strawberry is ok lah.... those big seeds that human should not eat wan, must not give.

Oh, don't go thinking a whole container of yogurt is healthy..... Dogs will only get healthy with 1 tablespoon of yogurt a day.... more than that, can get diarrhea.... tablespoon for large dogs, teaspoon for small dogs lah.

Puree vegies and fruits are much healthier than just feeding fruit base yogurt lah. Coz once vegies and fruits are cooked or processed, they lose most of their vitamins and minerals.... You don't need to blend everyday. Just blend a few types of fruits and vegie together, pour into an icecube tray and freeze it. Then everytime you wanna feed, take 1 or 2 icecubes and give as treat. Frozen sweeties for dogs hahaah.

Thanks guys, this is because Acana is from the makers of Orijen - so decided to give it a try. Nowadays, I feed dog kibbles with Inu canned food. Casper finish up his meals very quickly. The Inu canned food is only RM3.50 but much bigger than Caesar and can last me more than a week when I feed him twice a day. Cheap and useful.
