last time i used to feed my smart dog with rice mixed with Pedigree can chicken meat + vitamins .

if u sked mikey got overweight, juz feed him 20-25gram a meal..
my daisy is eating da same portion of origen

so far those who feed higher protein kibbles (innova evo, orijen, acana....) got experience loose stools or not??
I heard that especially evo, very easy got loose stools one wor.

For the 1st few days, yet. It happens..... but after their stomach and digestion gets used to it, the stool will harden.

Some dogs won't experience loose stools at all while some will in the first few days. My Chelsea had loose stools for the first 2 days, then later the stool become firmer and firmer and now is hard and easy to pick. If she poo on carpet, you won't see any stools stuck to the carpet.

Same here, for the first few days i switched to Orijen, the stool seems looser, but after that, firm already, now easily picked up without staining.

icic......coz since fifi is eating lesser now, due to picky on food, so might wanna try some highly concentrated kibbles, so that she got enuf nutrients. After her kibbles finish 1st though.............

daisy looked a bit thin wo...u scared she will grow into big size?

If I feed my pup with Orijen, everyday out for a walk is essential?

@.@ i tot of this b4 too...but they play like mad inside da house d.

You feed your 2 pup with Orijen too?

Casper vomits often. We often think that its because he is hungry and his stomach build up acid, so we give him more food but that didnt help solve the problem. In fact, he still does vomit some times, mostly in the morning and yesterday, Moonie did too.

Anyone can share some experience of why my dogs are vomitting sometimes?

zeist, yes both orijen but one puppy one adult.

pennywise, after they eat, did they induldge in playing?

My sister told me that they actually vomitted in the cage. Sometimes, in the evening, Casper also got vomit in the cage before... Too bored wont cause vomit, is it? I stopped bringing them out for these few weeks. WAiting for Moonie to get her last vaccination this Sat before taking them out for their daily walks... That should not be the cause, right?

When you first got the pup, you feed them with...?

What do you think of Eukanaba, good ah?

mayb got gas in their stomach?? mayb kibbles not suitable for them??
Try change kibbles see, like eaglepack holistic, got added enzymes for digestion. and mayb go get some supplement which is good for digestion, can ask vet for this supplement. just my opinion lah.
Fifi will vomit sometimes also, reason unknown, but i think is empty stomach coz vomitting bile.

Added on December 19, 2007, 9:25 amThe 1st kibbles to feed them is wat the breeder is feeding them. Get a small pack 1st, then when its almost finish, get ur desired pack, small pack also, then change slowly.
For me lah, if my dog is small breed, I'll get those higher quality one, like orijen, innova, nutriedge, eaglepack.........although more expensive, but size small, so eat less loh.
But if big breed dog, will go for Blackwood, nutrochoice, back2basic,purina proplan.......big size, eat more. But if got money, then only change to higher quality one.
For eukanuba, some say got smelly poo, but some got no problem with, u think u lah.

Enzymes for digestion eh? OK. I will try it out. While we are on the topic, those 15kg dog food, do those bags come with seal or we have to keep them in a container? I'm planning to buy a 15kg bag, brand undecided but preferably one with seal because I dont have a container to store 15kg of kibbles.

I opened a bag of 7.75kg Evanger for Casper and Moonie on 1st of Dec and by now, more than half is gone. I think it will only last a month. So I need to get a bigger pack next and share bit with my gf.

i've heard that after meals, dun let ur dogs consume big amt of water. not sure what's the cause tho.

zeist, tried euka, blackwood, eaglepack hollistic before..but my silky not ngam eaglepack, she shed soooooooo much

if the vomitting still persist, it's advisable that you bring them to vet for a checkup cause vomitting will cause dehydration to the body... at least you are able to obtain some advise from the vet on this issue better than guessing what is wrong with casper.

or if your feeding time is not consistent, they may vomit too...

i think cannot drink too much water after meal is bcoz it will actually wash away the stomach acid that is used for our food digestion...including our furkids too..

germaine used to have this kinda situation too but when i brought her to the vet he couldnt check whats wrong with her...
