crazymouse_yyh said was right, the can food more easy infect then dry food, the best result finish it in 24 hour. Please read the lable will get more detail.

I cant find California Natural here,Blackwood and Innova is the best brand i can find around me ..but nw they r both out of stock!there's only a few packs of Blackwood left,and the catfish formula is so so expensive!3.63kg is like rm68.90 !! i saw Innova in a big pack size 15kg,but it is just one pack left..so i jus ask for a sample pack n gv it a try!hehe,my dog is surely a picky boy,he always sniff sniff his bowl n then walk away ...left til afternoon or whenever he is hungry...i still cant find a dog food he really likes and eats it immediately...i know that Innova is a very good brand,i like its ingredients ,but dunno is it the smell(the smell isnt tat strong n nice..) or the kibbles shape(is in a triangular shape)???my dog jus doesnt quite interested on it.. i think theres nothing he is interested with except his snacks!! he is nw biting his tail again!!so headache.....

hmm....i'm now soooo confusing,heard that 'canola oil,menadione and ethoxyquin' is not a healthy thing for dogs.Blackwood does contain those three stuffs inside,it doesn't state tat it is ethoxyquin-free,so consider it has?? ohh!!this is nt good,that is unhealthy,then what else inside the ingredients is consumable?!!
sumone help pls!!!

really?is that anyway i can change the can food to biscuit?let her hungry for few days?coz she really don wan eat even a single biscuit

where are u from??

I'm from Seremban there's not much pet shop here.

Innova is better than Blackwood i think. or u can try to find other brand loh. If can try find those kibbles without corn, soy, meat-by-products, then ok lah.

anyone can teach me how to switch can food to biscuit?issit ok for them to hungry two days?or 3 days?

refer back to previous post...

Yup,Innova sure is better than Blackwood !!but my boy dun seems to love it,just sniff sniff then turn away.. The Blackwood 5000 is no wheat,no soy and no corn,but it doesnt state that did they use ethoxyquin(carcinogenic) as a preservative for fish or not,it contains menadione though...and one more thing,is canola oil a good thing or bad thing???

Canola oil is a good thing.

California Natural is good.... I think you can try to buy it online, they do deliveries. Just Google Buddy Pet Wagon Malaysia. We cannot provide sales links here so you Google and find the site. Easy.

Anyway, switching canned food to dry food. You have to do it slowly. But if you feed Pedigree and Alpo, since these dog food do not taste good, hard for you to change fast too since not so tasty. The right way is to lessen the amount of canned food each feeding. From say half a can, go to 1/3 can.... then a tablespoon, then a teaspoon, then a pinch..... of course you have to rub all over the dry food.... later on as you move to a pinch, the dry food would overcome the smell of the canned food.... then the dog would have an easier time in switching foods than to starve completely and cause stomach upset. Dogs can go on for 2 days without food but they will vomit out bile coz of the emptiness and gastric juices.... so that is not really good. Normally when my dogs do not eat their food, I let them go hungry for 24 hours, then they will start to eat.

Shih tzus are picky eaters, it may take longer to train.

Also, this is from experience lah.... shih tzus that do not get their teeth cleaned yearly and do not get their teeth brushed by their owners after a meal, would have teeth decay when they reach senior age. This is when a shih tzu eats canned food and rice.

Thanks,i have go through the website,but they didn't sell California Natural...sad....nvm,i see if i can get it in another way,last time went to Pet's Wonderland in MidValley..but i din see california natural,just saw Canidae,Acana and Orijen! I'm so tempted to try Orijen,but scared it is too much protein for my dog since he is an indoor dog...

Thanks for ur answer..i try mix with biscuit ,and slowly increase the amount of biscuit, as you said shih tzus are picky eaters..hmm mayb going to let her hungry for 1 day..

Pets Wonderland doesn't stock California Natural. Only certain petshops that bring in holistic dogfood. Canidae and Acana are good too. Since your dog is sensitive, better not try Orijen.

crazymouse_yyh was right, ROTiJOHN don't worry dog hungry, and they can stay for 4 day without food. They try do pity for you.
Want your dog life more longer and less ill, give them better Nutritional need, other else want you dog just as dog only, just give them normal dog food. It simple.
For my opinion as dog food user,
Type of food
Commercial dog foods come in three basic forms, dry canned, and semimoist. Which should you feed your dog.
Although premium commercial dog foods are a staple of your dog diet, let's face it.
The best solution check with your friends or dog club member have same breeds with you, check with them how the dog food. In many ways, seeing believes, if your dog has bright eyes, a shiny coot, a good appetite and good energy level. Chances are his diet's fine; your dog's breeder and your veterinarian are good sources of advice if you're still confused?

People or pet shop introduced the dog food to you, you need ask how it good for the dog? it is simple question.
he or she unable give satisfaction answer, you better find other pet shop again.It mean theyself don't know what they sell? They sell GOOD DOG FOOD brands, we don't want good dog food, we want is how our dog get a better dog food.

got it,wont let him touch Orijen! Just googling bout Canidae and found sumthing interest.Canidae tested positive to pain killers??oh my....

What is the price for California Natural??

I tot orijen is in deed quite ok?

Not all dogs can tolerate high protein dogfood. Some dogs got very sensitive skin and bodies, taking Orijen could cause more harm than good.

I use Orijen but only on 1 dog, the others on California Natural.

How do i know if the dog doesnt suite certain type of dog food?

California NAtural? the vegetarian dog food?

You will only know after you try it out. To be on the safe side, California Natural, Addiction.... these 2 brands are quite good for dogs with skin problems.

I cant get California Natural then,my dog now is on BW 5000,that's the last 3.63kg pack in the pet shop,the owner claims that BW company were lack of stock?!how come...-.-

I ask if them still bringing in Innova? ''Not much ppl is finding this brand..''that's her ans..>.<
hmm...shall persuade her to bring in...If not,then have to ask mum to order online,i thk she wont agree with it hah! and now the shop is having ProBest,not too quality imo

Anyway,anyone heard of Nicki dog's milk??safe to feed?coz i cant find Pet's Own Milk around except ordering online.
