Can last for aPProximatly 2mths or "less"..
Feed 3times a day when 2mths-5mths.. Morning 9am, Noon 2Pm, then night 7Pm. The timing u Plan la.. Juz a guideline for u.
5mths + can feed 2times a day. Morning and evening 7Pm.
How much to be given, U can use a rice cuP to measure the amount. The back of orijen will be stated to let u know how old to feed how much. But these kinda thing, u as the owner wil have to agar agar becoz every PuP's aPPitite is not the same. Or u can give it all it can eat in 3mins(if its a fast eater) or all it can eat in 5mins(if its a slow eater)
Yang teach 1.

If u feed orijen, theres no need to giv fish oil.
Orijen is already filled with omega 3 and omega 6 and Flax seed oil.
Dun give too much already becoz too much of a good thing is not good at all.
Can give treats like carrots, aPPles ( not citrus and seeds not to be consume), Any kind of veges..
And of coz.. Giv little tiny winy only. They cant digest if given large Portion. Juz a bite to let them sastified.

i blend those vege into puree..
easier and cleaner..
sometimes they eat vege sticks untill whole mouth tainted..i headache lor..

u guys can try, let them hv as desserts. i guess a lil bit vege other than wat is contained in kibbles are good for dogs. at least they get something fresh..

Good price, you know what... Initially I thought Orijin food is somewhere around RM80 - RM100.

zeist,
It's called Orijen, not Orijin. I read Orijin, sounds like original. I couldnt quite make out your sentence in the first few post. Haha... Is this your first time having a pup? Allow me to share my experience.

First few months when the pup arrived at your place, feed it three times a day. 8am, 1pm, 6pm in little portion - those chinese soup spoon 2x full is enough. Your pup will poo a lot, each time after food. This is good, show the pup got healthy digestive system.

When the pup gets older 5 - 6 months, you can start giving more. 8am and 6pm is my feeding time.

Many other dog food, you can feed like 1/2 a 8oz cup. But Orijen, you feed 1/3 of the cup can already! Sort of like 20% less than what you would feed if it was some other brand.

The proper way to change your dogfood from one brand to another is done in a span of 5 - 7 days, to your preferences and believes.

Day 1 and 2 = 3/4 old food + 1/4 new food
Day 3 and 4 = 1/2 old food + 1/2 new food
Day 5 and 6 = 1/4 old food + 3/4 new food
Day 7 start = 100% new food

Some people just start with the new food like that if they know their pup do not have sensitive stomach. Suddenly change like this may cause SOME pup to diarrhea but over 2 - 3 days, it will be fine also. Just need to settle and get use to it. But due to the fact that a diarrhea can be messy and hazardous to health, people prefer the approach above.

Raw food cannot mix with kibble... not canned food right? Or canned food considered raw?

Ops, Orijen. Thanks for correcting me.

Yea, can say it is my first pup. I used to have a mix breed shih tzu + maltese, sold off after 2 months. At that time, I know nothing about pups, then I realize that it is not the right time yet.

Thanks for the wonderful info.

Remember that Orijen is 40% protein which CAN be too much for your pup if you dont bring him out to run about often. Those protein turning into fats at such young age isnt exactly healthy so watch it with the amount you feed ok? Good luck with your new pup, dude!

Ok, I will bring the pup out to park daily.

Thanks.

i think canned food cooked la..
cos they need 2 kill all da germs with high temperature..
so should b no prob lor.

just don mix raw.

That's a lot of work but I wish you all the best... I also want to give Casper the best, Orijen but then worry he cannot digest everything properly and too heaty for him will give him all those rashes again. So, I better stick with those with 24 - 28% protein types.

Hmm, what brands are those? I feel like changing every 3 months.

Actually all other brands are around 24 - 28% of protein. In the market, if I'm not mistaken, only Orijen and Evo is 40% protein.

I see. Evo (0 votes)

I think I will try blackwood first, then orijen, or orijen first.

Other than Kibbles, I can feed them with apples and salad, other than these?

i think after u take orijen, your pup won like BW coz BW has less smell and taste than orijen la..lol...

and don change your pup's food brand too often as they might not be able to adapt well to the new food diet...

during the 1st few months as essential la and yes u have to feed your pup 4 times a day de...but then like my puppy la...he don get much exercise so i only feed him 2 times a day dy coz he jus won eat his lunch, so i only gv him breakfast and dinner...

Waaaa 4 times a day ah?

Hmm if that is the case, I take Blackwood first then Orijen.

Afterthat, all the way Orijen.

zeist- Other then fruits and veges, U can buy puppy's treat biscuits. Dont get those meaty types, Those u saw got chicken bacon or lamb sticks.. Coz there are ingredients which are not good for ur dog, Get Holistic biscuits type, Like nutro puppy biscuit.. and more la.. eukanuba puppy biscuits ..

Nutro and Eukanuba Biscuits? Nice.

Oh yah, I forgotten this. The Orijen puppy food, which one should I choose? Chicken, Lamb, Beef, Vegeterian? If I'm not mistaken, if they take Lamb or Beef, their poo will be very smelly?

Which one do you recommend?

The best part of orijen puppy food is that u dun have to choose! Theres no chicken, lamb, beef or vegeterian.

All the nuritients are combined in a single puppy food. No need to choose. Juz get the orijen puppy, and when it grows Change to adult. Thats so easy and simple instead of getting headache choosing which flavours.

Dont feed beef. Beef can attract ticks/fleas to ur dog.

Added on September 20, 2007, 6:02 pmDid u google orijen's ingredient?

U will be impressed. Its included with norwegian whitefish! 1st ingredient is Chicken MEAT! Instead of meal or by-products.

But need to excerise ur dog la. hehe, else will be fatty fatty bumbum and heaty.

I see, no wonder Orijen is the best.

The ingredients? Aww I didn't, I'm thinking of visiting the PetFamily nearby my place tomorrow, hopefully they have Orijen and those biscuits. And can apply to be a member if I spend RM30 and above (something like bonuslink where you collect pts for each transaction made).

Yea, every evening go for walk at the park.

hahaha, the doggy's biscuits can mostly get anywhere.
U can google and check out the ingredients.. u will be like that If u knows wad pedigree's ingredient...
Wad are u going to get first tmr?

Serious? Will check them later and do comparison. I heard Pedigree sucks.

Hmm, not buying anything first. I'm going there to check out their products, services, pricing and etc. Especially the neuture services.
