My dog's poo is a bit yellowish green, is that normal ?
AFAIK dog's exrement should be solid and dark while mine is solid a little moisture but with yellowish green stuff

Does that mean my dog's digestion is no good?

Thanks notworthy.gif

That not normal. Whats your pups regular food at the moment? Try a different food first. Consult a vet if it doesnt work out.

Doesnt seem to have a too good ingredient listing. It contains corn which is very bad for digestion. It also has fillers. It also has a minimum acceptable meat content, with kinda unclear chicken source, i.e. "chicken fat (preserved with Vitamin E), chicken, chicken digest". It can be anything from chicken's skin, fat, legs, neck, head, some internals etc etc. What worrying here is leftover of unwanted chicken parts which might not be meat source. Producer also didnt state the use of preservative free ingredient.

Maybe you could try changing, IMHO. Avoid corn. Its deifinitely a NO NO!!! Second step will be to try avoiding rice. Feed your dog potatoe instead if its allergic to rice. Its also a good alternative for grains.

Hmm, but its premium food?
The green yellowish excrement indicates he isnt digesting the food well ?

Thanks for the advice notworthy.gif

I didnt explore into Innova as it doesnt have any food with the meal type i was looking for my pup. Anyway, browsed around previously and realized that it is quite good depending on its range. Its premium ones should be on par with Solid Gold.

By the way, besides what i'm feeding my pup, i would opt for Blackwood's catfish and potatoe. Despite having some filler, it is food above its leaque, IMHO. I might switch to it once she's a year old.

Well, i would try my very best to give the most i can for my pup, so, balance between desire and financial would always be a conflict. But at the end of days, i wouldnt want to harm her unconsiously, so going the extra mile a lil more wont hurt, at least currently, as she's my first one, hehehe.

Most proly but am not too clear if there might be any other health issues with your pup. Maybe a check with a good vet would help???

By the way, premium food seem to be the bottomline nowadays. The market's talking about like super premium, ultra premium, hollistics, etc etc like that. Dont be fooled by those terms. Some really good manufacturer's dont even brag with these terms, while some below average manufacturer's would boost sales based on jargons as such. The ingredient list would be your best bet to getting the rite food for your pup.

Hey thanks for the explanation notworthy.gif
Yeah he went for a checkup 2 weeks ago, and he is schedule to go for his injection next week.
Will ask the vet more about it.

Thanks again

U may wan to check on the pricing on Orijen..its pretty pricey.
*
But look at the protein content?
42% la not pricey considering their high protein level

But i have a question is 42% protein too much for our dogs or not especially in a hot country like Msia?

It is best if when you guys buy dogfood, look out for the words holistic, then check the ingredients for any harmful preservatives.

Back 2 Basics.... I can say one thing.... good dogfood and it can make your dog FAT so anyone with dogs that are big eaters, beware hahaha.

Orijen is ok, but the high protein can make certain dogs get allergies. And it can cause a bit of tearing to certain dogs. Ingredients, this brand has good ingredients.

Now, my bigger dogs on SAVA, not a bad brand, I prefer to Back 2 Basics actually....

For my small dog, she is on BARF, I see so much good improvements that I have never seen in dogfood.
*
Back 2 Basics does not comes in kibble form right?
If i not mistaken i saw its like some sort of powder form where you need to mix it with water?

It's not for busy people and also for those with no freezer space. Hahahah.... But for me is cheaper, less than RM100 for my Chelsea, sometimes my meat bill is only Rm60 a month.
The powdered dogfood is dehydrated food by Addiction. You gotta mix with water for it to become a full meal. Well, it certainly is costly so I have never tried.

Back 2 Basics is kibble form. Oily kibbles, my lab put on weight till can't see much of her waist but it didn't make her shed like she use to. This is the pork variety lah. I think chicken variety should be almost the same. The one thing some people might turn away from Back 2 Basics is the corn in it. Yes, this brand has corn but I think the good type. Get small packs or sample packs before buying a large pack to try. They small packs are 3kg.

Thanks for the info

Btw mind to tell me where to get B2B in PJ area if you know of any?
Also how much they cost?
My mum's been feeding her shih tzu crap eukanuba

2 things changed her

One was my puppy retriever who is on premium dog food

another was their own retriever, a rescued dog

Dad bought the wrong type of kibbles, the premium ones no corn no wheat and no by products
After that 1 and 1/2 15kg packs, they saw the result, upon checking they found that they bought the wrong type of food and was convinced that premium food does show some results
