Everydog may have some drawbacks with certain food. I do know now that a small percentage of dogs get tear stains and body odour and rashes from eating Orijen, some dogs get constipation from Eukanuba and some can get itching and skin problems from Nutro or ProPac..... but this is coz each dog can react to a particular ingredient..... so if your dog is giving you a bad drawback, then change to another brand. There is no harm if you do it the correct way.

Dogs can get better skin and health conditions if you monitor their food closely. Like for my 1 dog, she cannot take Orijen or Acana or BacktoBasics.... only on BARF and Innova Evo.

my silky OKAY with the Origen now...should I continue with Origen for adult kibbles? after so many comments on Canidae here...

If she is ok, then follow on. I mean, it is up to you but then if you see your dog doing good with the current brand, then there is no need to switch.

yalo....i agree tat!
like my bibi ok with blackwood 5000 then i jus stick with it!
if suit then no need to change ler~

at first i think of want to change because i want my mature adult shih-tzu (9 yrs old) eat same kibbles with the silky which going to turn to adult soon...
i'm not sure whether the shih-tzu can take so high protein food or not cause he's too old to do any exercise and have joint problem....

my silky loves to steal his food (which currently on pedigree, which i don't agree - not my dog)....i want them to have same kibbles so that they don't have problem eat each other foods....

can.. just feed lesser for the shihtzu

Crazymouse is right, That's what I don't personally care for about these sites. Someone has used whatever method they feel is appropriate to make claims about which food is better than another, and that method may or may not be appropriate for your dog. It's best to learn as much as you can and make your own decisions, not simply accept what someone else says. But that's just my opinion.

Good news to all, the blackwood have coming new fomula. The holistic fomula, coming soon to malaysia market. To who support blackwood check with your nearby Blackwood dealer.

eheh, BW got holistic formula..........good good.
Nutro got the holistic formula not long ago, now BW. more choices.

Nutro isnt nutro choice? if yea, You have read the USA dog food news?

yup, nutro choice holistic.
Regarding the USA dog food news.........wat news? is it the old news for the dog food recall?

I not like much discuss the recall, it might make the malaysia sold agent loss business. It also no benefit to me too. The holistic fomula very differ with other. It adding natural amino( very expensive Nutrition) acids and omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids. absolutely no chemical preservatives—no BHA, BHT, ethoxyquin or propyl gallate. Now many popular brand is “"Private-label" (sometimes also referred to as "own label" or "store brand") means products that are commissioned, marketed and owned by a retailer, as opposed to a manufacturer.

My chow chow just switched from Scient Plan Lamb & Rice to Acana Salmon & patota few days ago. 1 thing I notice is the poo has no smell at all!

LOL science plan poo poo really GENG..

acana quite good, the ingredients good and yet price not expensive.

i just bought nutri edge chicken and rice for my pup but she dont really like it.. just eat a few
so my mom had to mix some rice with kibbles then she will eat, all finish in a split second

my dad say she is used to rice as she is a stray puppy, dont know real or not

BW holistic formula??
wat ingredients ya?chicken,lamb o fish?

keep it up, then slowly take away the rice loh.

Actually rice is good for puppy and dogs.

Dogs don't need rice if they are feed with kibbles. Kibbles have enough of carbohydrate, don't need anymore carb intake from the rice!!

You can reduce the amount of kibbles if you add in rice. I'll prefer my dog to eat as much variety of food as she can. Actually now i'm mixing 2 types of kibbles in her meal and also add in rice occasionally. Rice is human grade food anyway, i feel secure to feed her rice.
