My gf also said to me that too much protein will not only turn into fats but someday lead to cancer too... I dunno how to prove her sentence but I believe her cause she studied pharmacy last time.

WAh liao eh... Innova is RM50 for 2 or 2.5kg also I think expensive liao... This RC even MOREEEEE expensive?! HAH?!

Orijen will give Casper skin problems again. Blackwood I dont really like. I'd go for Acana since it's made by the same people who do Orijen but lower in protein.

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.

Thanks for your clarification Hun! Yes, I forgot that dogs in the wild hunt for meat too and they come from the wolf family-tree. True true...

Dogs can eat strawberry and banana or not ah? WHat fruits are considered harmful for dogs?

Those nestle yogurt, are they safe for dogs? Too sweet?

Tomorrow going to get my first pack of Acana from Seapark Pet Supplies and also a finger-tooth brush.

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.

Dunno they have Acana or not. Wanted to go today but then got late and got dinner, so tomorrow only going.

Apparently they got Acana, the aunty told me they only stock up Acana last week.

Orijen at Seapark Pet Supplies is priced at RM46 price tag but the aunty can give you better price, I think RM42 like that only.

Orijen and Acana packaging same because from the same manufacturer in Canada.

Yes, there's something called Evanger - Pheasant or Chicken flavor.

Hun,
Seapark Pet Supplies memang got sell Evanger quite long liao. I think it's about RM40+ for 3kg - they come in Chicken and brown rice or Pheasant and brown rice.


Digitral,
The aunty told me that they only start taking Acana last week! I buy for adult small breed (white pack) is RM35 for 3kg.

Oh I see, gold color packet wan Evanger.

I think Evanger kibbles should be quite alright but Casper never like Eaglepack or Evanger so much - always never finish.

However, I was told that Evanger canned food is just as it's shown on the packaging. If it's true, then it would make an amazing gift for my Casper's birthday.

Why you bold herring oil, flaxseed and garlic? Are these bad for dogs in Acana? I just bought a 3kg bag.

Ok, then I'm relieved. I thought I made the wrong choices as though it was highlighted as a warning. Thanks a lot for clarifying.

Okies, should be good then, from the makers of Orijen!!

Hahaha... yeap yeap, good thing got place to discuss with you guys or else I sure headache liao. My Acana havent open as I still have some Innova left. I'll write in after he starts eating Acana.

Wont be so soon cause still got his old food left. Last time I mix Orijen with Innova, still left a bit at the bottom of the tong, want to clear it first.

I think I will only be able to post up a review next week or so.

Casper also same like Siu Kat but even worst with Eaglepack, rather die type if fed Eaglepack!

Acana smell exactly like Orijen - the smell is very strong!

I am not sure about the same ingredients part but same manufacturer la. Acana has lower percentage of protein which I think is more suitable for small dogs.

Indeed Orijen is damn good but look at what the reviewer at dogfoodanalysis.com says, "High protein may not be suitable for puppies." Even though it's only stated as puppies, how do you define puppies? 1 year? 10 months? 6 months?

So basically I have the mentality that the sentence actually meant "High protein may not be suitable for small dogs." because of digestion issue and also much dependent on the activeness or inactiveness be it indoor or outdoor.

I think Acana's 28% protein is very good already.
