i don't know whether this is the right thread. but how many times you guys feed your puppy once? and the quantity?

feed until he full or just feed little bit only? i heard from petsmore they say the fur will not be nice if given to much food. true?

Nobody using the acana for your doggie?
The pet shop intro me this brand of kibbles...
I am using blackwood...Would lik to change a brand of kibbles for my doggie...But dono should change to which brand lo...
My doggie is "beagle"...Hope all of you can giv me some opinion...thx!!

I'm using Acana's new formula 'lamb & apple'. My chow chow loves it and it is grain-free. I'm going to let her try the 'grassland' & 'pacifica' formula soon.

Any Natural Balance opinion?

wanted to try acana but seapark doesnt have it.
previously on artemis, then pinnacle. but i guess pinnacle too bland he rather starve for 2 meals. so now mixing it with orijen..

If your dog like small size kibbles then i recommend Evangers, my dog loves it.

Well, feeding a puppy, if they are younger than 4 months old, they should have 3 meals a day. This is for me lah. Later I switch it to 2 meals a day since I feed raw food. The quantity, you have to check the packaging as different dog food got different guides. But then it also depends on the puppy. The directions on the packaging acts as a guide. So if it says feed half cup per meal, you pour out half cup and see. If the pup eats everything and acts hungry, then let it be. If it eats only half of the half cup, then just stick to the portion it can finish.

Petsmore say feed too much will have not nice fur? That's the silliest thing I've heard.... It's more like feed too much the pup will become overweight..... Fur, that depends on the genetics of the breed, the quality of the dog food and also the hygiene of the pup.

i heard from petsmore they say the fur will not be nice if given to much food. true?
this answer for those sale person with low knowledge about nutritional.

I feed my rottweiler (who is 7 mths old today ) with ACANA Junior Puppy (the packaging is yellow in color). The results, SUPERB even though he's only on this for around 2 weeks.

He was on Blackwood when my bf and I first brought him home. After that we changed to Innova. Innova is OK but the price is rather expensive. When he was at training school for a month we gave him Eukanuba. He shed a lot after taking that. And his pee was really smelly.

During the recent CNY, we ran out of kibbles and bought him Innova EVO. The results is OK but the price very expensive. After his EVO, we changed to Acana. Price very reasonable and his coat is really shiny!!!

Please take note, the protein level is very high, so make sure he walk him and play so he won't get over weight.

FYI, I even feed my another dog who is now 4 years old with ACANA Junior Puppy as snacks. She loves it to the max.

As we are ACANA fanatic, I actually stocked another 5 packs last months, just in case the shop ran out of stock.
If you can stretch your ringgit further (especially during the current economic downturn), get ORIJEN which is a bit better than ACANA.

Oh, you can also feed your dog raw (meat with bone, meat or bone) once a week as treats just to clean the teeth and keep him/her busy for the day. Dont worry, your dog or puppy won't bite you with the smell of your human flesh...

Anyways, Shane771, Best of luck!!!

hi..any comment about eagle pack?
i just bought a puppy formula eagle pack 4 my MS..

Using Artemis Fresh Mix Medium/Large Breed mixed with Natural Balance (Ultra Premium), so far so good.

Was using Innova Puppy before this but seems a bit rich and it's hard to get hold of (always no stock) plus bag size quite small.

Before that was using Blue Seal (junk).

Eagle Pack is pretty good food but I heard that they are gonna increase the price by quite a bit soon...

ok cool...but it seems like he dun like the eaglepack kibble le....he will eat oni half of his normal amount..
