i find that they are often more honest/forthcoming than other pet stores but some ppl (esp new customers) find them a bit 'cold'

science diet has a reputation of being the most terrible dog kibble around. IIRC it is the corn in it. Period.

Wow, are you sure? My gf is feeding her Japanese Spitz this brand. Never thought its that bad.

Do you have any URL that says such statement? I'd like to prove it to her. Thanks.

lilcatty tried innova(if not mistaken) and she says that copper's shit smell very bad...

i think im gonna grab a sample pack of royal canin too and see if mikey loves it...he don seem to like acana as well although he prefers is more than BW..nowadays i have to mix his kibbles with something sweet like orange juice like that to make him eat... sweat.gif

Innova make the poo smell bad ah? Innova or Innova Evo? They're different right?

Acana or Blackwood... I think I might try out Acana. By the way, why orange juice? I thought dogs stomach very acidic - so if with orange juice... then wouldnt that be very bad?

Because they are friendly and helpful. They are also a pro at grooming Westies. ihawk98 and myself goes there. Its the same row with the Poh Kong.

Yes, I also think they are friendly and very honest. They have taught me many things when I told them I am first time dog owner.

I have only seen this one sold by vets, must cost an arm and a leg!

would be a good starting point. google is your best friend.

if you really want to know what chicken-by-product meal or meat-by-product meal is;

QUOTE
Is meat meal good for my pet?
In its simplest, purest form, meat meal is meat with the water and fat removed. The dried meat is then ground into small granules or powder for use in pet food. Pure meat meal, as opposed to meat and bone meal or meat by-product meal, is a good source of concentrated protein which is nutritionally excellent for your pet. Pure meat meal cannot contain blood, hair, hoof, horn, hide trimmings, manure, or stomach or rumen contents, except for amounts that may be unavoidably included during processing. It cannot contain any added extraneous materials, and may not contain any more than 14 percent indigestive materials. Also, no more than 11 percent of the crude protein in the meal can be ingredients the dog cannot digest.

Some might dismiss all this as a blatant internet based anti-science plan/smear movement though, the choice is ultimately yours.

Also read this before going hunting for your next packet of dog food.

Pet shop suggested that Blackwood is actually very compact, hence no need to feed much. If feed much, then sure a lot of 'goldbar' will drop out.

Been feeding my dog eukanuba, that's the best brand around my area at dat time.....but the problem with it is that very easily get worms in the food.

So tried Canidae. My dog loves it. But bought a small pack, so cant really tell how good is it yet.

Then emergency (shop ran out of the brand) bought science plan. Aiks...dog shit is like lumpy, liquidity like dat.

Anywayz, going back to Canidae.

Is Royal Canin suitable for small dog? Is it really that good smile.gif hehe? and what are the price like? Thanks.

I really can't compare which brand is the best for my sasha coz she so picky on her food. sad.gif

Yes, Royal Canin is pretty suitable for any dog. For small dogs, the kibble are quite tiny, I got a sample but gave to my hamsters instead hahahah.... smells really nice. I only have Royal Canin for cat at home, which is to feed my hedgehogs. I know it is addictive coz my hedgehogs like RC more than Orijen.

It is a pretty nice smelling and oily dogfood, what I heard is it has lots more flavour so that is why dogs are so addictive.... but if compare ingredients with holistic brands, of course will choose holistic lah.

RC comes in many variety. Got for mini, small, large, joint problem.... some even for specific breeds I think.... I can't remember much about RC for dogs.

Recommend me a hollistic dog food that is not 40% high in protein (like ORijen and Evo) and yet its not bland (like California Natural) and not over-rated (like Eaglepack). Hehehe... Thanks in advance!

Acana can be considered holistic. Acana does not contain artificial colors, flavors, or preservatives. So pretty good lah. So far my boxer's stool and skin is good.

Another brand is called Solid Gold but only a few petshops carry this brand. I have never tried it on my dogs but it is a holistic brand. Quite expensive too. I think more expensive than Origen.

Its quite hard for me to find Go Natural, so I think Acana is possibly my choice, especially when they are from the same manufacturer as Orijen.

Go Natural I think Pet Safari got.... but then these are limited brands in the market, like Solid Gold.

Just try out Acana. Maybe try out the Salmon and Potatoes la, it is for sensitive skin.
