good point you made there penny

perhaps he ate grass, that's why poo is green? i too had an aversion to all lifestages food, but on hindsight i think it was a mistake... contents not that much difference between puppy and adult formula, esp for smaller breeds?

no, both of you did not make mistakes, there are TWO reviews for Canidae (different products?) Me thought there was only 1 variant for Canidae?

hahah softer poo is an understatement, as much as i would like to feed CN, it gave my two furkids watery poo... the kind that looks like a puddle... yucks

then you would want to avoid Royal Canin, heard it's expensive and crap...

isn't the problem with RC being what goes into it as opposed to how expensive it is?

can we merge this with the dog food poll... the rest of us have discussed/argued about this topic so many times already

Certain brands of 'to be avoided' dog food actually cost more than the 'recommended' brands...
Trying to sucker ppl into thinking super expensive = super good

This one?

Your's is a puppy still correct? What breed? Perhaps, if you prefer to maintain the same brand you should be feeding

Is there a specific reson why you are using the adult formula? Btw, what breed/size is your dog?
Some ppl will insist that puppies be fed puppy formula.

How's Nutriedge? Haven't heard much about it... one of my furkids did win a whole pack in a dress up competition a year ago but used it as a treat instead...

All I know is that they 'sponsor' or are 'endorsed by' a lot of the Malaysian champion breeders which is not neccesarily a good thing and that their redemption program is (to me anyways) unethical as they offer a puppy as the highest tier redemption.

Marketing aside, how's the food?

same as the difference between arijen and acana if i'm not mistaken

innova evo is also 40% protein

I remember posting a while back that although high protein foods appear to have more proteins (say 40% as opposed to 28%) the actual amount fed is supposed to be 1/3 less no? So effectively, the amount of protein your furkid gets (assuming you feed 2/3 of the amount of the lower protein feed) is 26.67%.
Also, methinks the lesser protein kibbles often do not disclose carbo contents, which as they are using grain/plants as fillers could be quite substantial too?

I've not yet had the opportunity to try for a sustained period of time any high protein foods, so this is again guesswork

That is one of my main concerns too... imagine if your nasi 1/3 less, EVERYDAY!

yalor, that's why they 'tak pass'...

BARF (bones and raw food), if done properly is indeed better.

err... actually i don't mind all life stages food

A quick report...

Tried half a packet of orijen (got free from a friend ) Discontinued feeding Novacoat supplements. Siu Kat's coat is indeed shinier and smoother than usual. Normally if i discontinue Novacoat, there'll be noticable dryness/dullness in the fur.

Most importantly, with Orijen, sh*t size is very much reduced and smells less (a must for indoor dogs )

Siu Wan unfortunately developed some kind of rashes after a week or so. Mine are indoor, couch potato dogs, so perhaps the high protein content is a no-go.

A real bummer then because for Siu Kat, Orijen works wonders

Since Orijen is out, went to Seapark to replenish Eagle Pack supplies, but guess what, something new came in...

A bit pricy, but seeing that Orijen doesn't work for Siu Wan and that i am no longer satisfied with Eagle Pack or Blackwood, decided to give the fish and potatoes pack a try. Plan to try the organic one next.

Anyone's tried this before?

oh no! I will find out tomolo if they lao sai also
