If you reduce the kibbles and add in rice, it is more worse thing to do. That means you cut down on their protein and add in more CARB! Dogs are not human, they get their energy from PROTEIN...... PLS STOP, and give only kibbles.

oh, but rice is one of the main ingredient in kibbles. Anyway, small size dog might not eat rice but my dog is not a small dog . And sometime it keeps me thinking whether kibbles is really the best food for dog? There is 1 article that I read about dog food is dog should eat what human eat. And from my experience, mongrel in my house that feed with our left over food is the healthiest dog. They never has any allergies and sickness. Coat is nice and 1 of them is a long hair that never have any hair lost problem.

Yes, rice is safe for dogs.. rice in the kibbles provides the carbohydrate for your dog. The kibbles is formulated in that way, that it is balance for your dog. Additional rice means additional carb, which is not necessary, not say bad for your dogs...

Kibbles are a convenient way to provide balance food for your dogs. If you have the time to cook/research, homecook food definately better, or even BARF if you can go with the raw method.

Pure breed are prone to certain sickness, and when they are mixed with another breed, it will improve their immune system. That is why you see mongrel are usually healthy.

Hmm..no lah, won't give her BARF but will try to give her more homecook food whenever possible.

Something to bear in mind, homecook, must prepare in a balance way. Need to measure the amount of protein, carb, and other vitamins.. and the correct portions.... If you are talking homecook once a week like that, its like treat, then no harm if you are just giving boil chicken+rice (for example). But definately no-no to boil chicken+rice everyday because your dog will not have enough vitamins.

Oh no, my dog will have kibbles every meal. Those homecook food is add in. By the way, does any one knows where can i buy California Natural kibbles in KL?

seapark pet supplies

That is better, don't risk with her balance meal Just scare she will be very picky, and dont like kibbles anymore.

Being picky is what i scare too so i just add very little portion of other food. But so far she hasn't denied to eat any food yet la.

As i knew, there're a alot pet shops carry California Natural.. u may try petsmore which near by petaling street.. 1 more pet shop at jln pudu oso got, cant remember the name, if not wrong shd be Lee pets supply which next to meow moew @ woow woow old shop.
