weaned means no more mother milk I strongly belif the puppy milk out there is for those unfortunate babies that couldn't get the milk from the mom. Other then that, not necessary for dogs to have milk.

I've changed from last time orijen-> acana-> nutro choice-> eagle pack -> orijen(stop after hugo got skin problem)-> nutri edge-> going to be the new brand soon after they finished their 15kg kibbles.

just bought orijen for my shih tzu of 3mths old. after consuming like 3-4days..

her stool is very soft.. is that normal ?

i feed her 3-4times a day each time about 3spoonful (the chicken rice spoon). is that because of the high protein level 42% ?

and now she shits more often also. last time one time in between meal. usually 15min after eating. But now she shits like at times twice in between meals. is that normal ?

Yaya, that's what I'm trying to say. No milk required after being sold to us.
Should be strong enough.
In the span of 2 years, I change a lot of kibbles brands too!


What's the name of the new dog kibbles?
Where is their pet shop? I also wanna see their westie.

Obviously if you see some changes, it's not normal already la. Dont break her system thinking 42% protein is good. Some dogs cannot take it. I'd suggest you stop giving it Orijen and try something lighter

anyone have tried the Addiction Raw Dehydrated food?? Good?
i saw it selling at my Vet there....

it is normal if her routine changes in the first few days of taking new kibbles because her system need to get used to it. If after one week the stool is soft, then this may not be suitable for your dog. Do you mix with old food when you introducing the new food?

Feeding high protein lvl food you should decrease the amount recommended at the packing.

if old food run out, and introducing a new food (especially for puppy) feed in small amount, more meal. Say one meal 30 biji, u seperate to 10 biji, give after half hour another 10 biji, another half hour 10 biji.. let him slow slow digest. 3 months puppy recommended 3 meals a day oh! Meaning if 1 meal seperate 3 time feeding, u need feed 9 times because some puppy have really sensitive stomach.. but you need to do this just a few days la..

Added on November 3, 2008, 5:26 pmAddiction dehydrated equals to canned dog food, just that addiction dehydrated is without water. That is why the price is higher then kibbles.

Any brand starts with named meat meal (chicken meal, salmon meal, lamb meal etc but not poultry meal) with (or without) quality grains (ie brown rice, rice, oat, barley and not ground rice, ground oat or brewer’s rice, ground yellow corn, corn gluten meal etc). If you are getting fish base kibbles, get those with ethoxyquin-free, a kind of preservatives that causes allergy to some dogs. Avoid animal fat, but chicken fat is alright

That's kinda the basic hmm.. I hope you understand

I like Eagle Pack, Evangers & Orijien. Just started on California Natural, dunno how is the result yet.

Hey guise,

Any shops in Subang/PJ selling Orijen Adult Kibbles? Preferably the meat flavour not fish. I've checked the one in Pyramid, out of stock.

Need to top up soon. Wanna sapu 3 packets at a time.

Thanks.

@jarjar.. LOL bearbear testing all the food in the market?

@zeist, try seapark pet supplies Buy big pack ler, why buy 3 small pack?

Any shops selling Innova puppy??i went to seapark pet supplies they oni selling Innova adult food.

I like Evangers Pheasant at 1st..i bought the small pack n try, my GR puppy has firm stool n no smell..den i bought the big pack..dunno y this big pack after she eat her stool quite watery..n smell really bad

my worst kibble is the Artemis Fresh Mix for L/M breed..my GR never had nice stool from it at all when shes eating tat..super smelly.n very expensive

forOrijen mayb protein too rich makes her urine stinks..very heaty smells..now trying blackwood 2000..jus started hopefully get good result on it.

den my other GSD eat wad also watery stool mayb bcos she eat everything outside..cockcroaches, flies..everything..i try many brands on her yet still watery stool..mayb have to c vet ady..i try to give her yogurt..some say yogurt can help digest..after eat yogurt her stool lagi teruk now thinking of giving her probiotic supplement

for Eagle pack i found their stool is very...sandy type..dunno y..my gsd n other shihtzu eat also stool quite the same..very sand

i still remember last time they eat eukanuba got very very firm stool..mayb going back eukanuba

Hmm...my bearbear never has any loose stool even though I change her food suddenly. Maybe bcoz she used to eat different food already. I always mix 2 types of kibbles together. I also notice the urine is more smelly & yellow with Orijien. Luckily I mix the food so still not so bad.

Do you have the address or website? Name of the shop? Small pack 2.5KG just nice 2 containers. Wanna buy few packets, lazy wanna travel around.

There is this shop selling Orijen here, but they are old stock and only huge pack available. I think above 10KG.

i think mayb orijen very heaty so causing their urine so smelly any urine problem with acana??im thinking to try acana since its from orijen also but lower protein

Acana ok, poopoo also no smell.

acana wher can get?i jus saw PLC selling..but their price quite expensive
