if i'm not mistaken, it depends on the amount of protien in the formulae.
adults will need around 25% to 28%. hyper active ones will need more than 30%. somet

ya there large breed puppy food. if i'm not mistaken, eukanuba has it.

hmm..haha i'm bac in da forum, went m.i.a for so long.
for barf, i really follow the scale and recipe to see wat they need, at least this is wat i can do for them. not 100% barf yet, still bit reluctant to try putting in chicken heart, inner organs.. = =

vege puree sometimes i even use to giv them as snacks. my xx getting fatter n fatter..haha..

normally don mix wif kibbles if i feed barf.
no raw wif kibbles, bad digestion.

vege puree or fruits puree wif kibbles, yogurt, dats ok..barf doesnt need 2 be cooked.

hmm..
i tot most of the dog food contains preservatives.
dats y i prefer to prepare their own meal.
btw, can dogs eat potatoes?

last nite i boiled i big pot of chicken soup with meat n bones, den gave them only the soup without adding any salt or sugar. isit ok for them?

i gave them potato chicken soup.
unseasoned, no salt no sugar no ajinomoto.
soak their kibbles, they seem to lurve it alot.

thanks hun, no raw potatoes!
can i giv them my evening primrose oil?

cut open da oil sac?

yes. when they're young.
stop when they're around 3 months old if not u'll need 2 feed them milk everyday = =

i do soak the kibbles in milk, especially when they're sick. easier for them to consume.

the milk i'm using is Animalac, from Troy.

my blackwood finish d, at last 24kgs gone. so hard to finish the big breeder pack.
yesterday i spent rm134 in seapark pet supplies.
bought 6 packs of jerhigh assorted snacks, 1 pack acana lamb n rice, 1 bottle #1 all systems pure white n brightenning, essentials ear cleaner, and a nylon two snap lead.
kinda broke now. gonna replace da remaining 1kg of blackwood with the new pack of acana when i'm not free to cook for them.
today's breakfast = minced meat + cottage cheese + puree mixes.

yes, if its kept for more than 2months after opening the pack, it might get white spots. then its not fresh n safe to feed the pups anymore.

not worms ba..like fungae like dat..
worms on kiblles i saw b4. i accidentaly dropped 1 kibble on the sink, and it was soak in water for like 2 days. after dat i saw so many small worms crawling in da kibble. = =

yeah i think according to the article, we can use ripe tomatoes, just like we can only feed them cooked potatoes. i too cook soup for myself, then feed them half a bowl before adding any seasoning. thats very healthy.

ah i tried Addiction, the dehydrated food. rm75++?
can oni last for about 5dinners for my 2dogs and they din really like it. wasted my money!!!!!

i think royal canin has the widest range of dog kibbles ba.

hun,
ya really tried that. my pups din even wanna eat although i tried using force to scoop the food into their mouth. *blek* everything come out. have to soak in warm water. tried the dark pink one.

sometimes really fed up that i buy groceries for them more than for myself. buy d wash clean samor hv to blend. *headache*
so always 2meals kibbles, 1 meal Barf. no energy always go grocery stall.

rotijohn,
mix the kibbles with little bit of canned food. after a while she'll realise that can food is only for the taste and you wont be giving her any more than the amount like 2 teaspoon.

nee,
jj xx dowan regal. bought 1 packet, keep on throwing away everyday cos they just rather starve than eating. zzzzz...
