QUOTE(h71y6 @ Jan 19 2009, 05:17 PM) Seriously, don't believe the hype! I don't quite have a choice... I used to feed kibble (Evo) because I believed it was 6-star and all. Then my dog came down with a host of problems. Impacted anal glands, skin problems...  This post has been edited by bluepuppygirl: Jan 19 2009, 04:26 PM |

QUOTE(KittyKat @ Jan 19 2009, 05:26 PM) Am considering, am considering... Give me some time... =) Hahahaha I used to be like you until one day I bit the bullet and just headed to the supermarket and bought raw chicken meat and stuff. It's as easy as feeding as kibble. Store chicken in freezer and defrost next day feeding in bottom compartment. Follow the prey model diet, not barf... you don't even have to feed fruits or veggie. Just raw meaty bones and organs (liver, kidney, etc) And I just realized I'm probably typing this in the wrong topic LOL.

Added on January 19, 2009, 4:28 pm I dont plunge in to Evo, or Orijen, or Solid Gold, etc etc just because it is 5, 6, 7, etc stars, by the way ;P I trusted Evo, because it's grainless kibble. I know grain can cause allergies in dogs. Maybe that's just me, but if I can afford it, I would want to give my dogs the best. This post has been edited by bluepuppygirl: Jan 19 2009, 04:32 PM |

QUOTE(KittyKat @ Jan 20 2009, 01:59 PM) Oh... My pup's doing Evo small bites now. Moved her from Orijen cuz she dont really like it. While biting into her kibbles, she'll look at me with expression on her face: "Ey... Boss... Very hard... Very difficult to bite lar!!! How to eat???". Then she often skip her meal cuz that. Even on Evo, she quite reluctant, but at least she take all her proper meals. Want to move her back to red meat as she's doing it fine during her puppy stage. I second your POV regarding the inclusion of fruits and vegetables in a dog's diet mainly because they need fiber to bulk up their stools. Regarding raw, i belief inclusion of small propotion greens and fruits are vital. As canine evolve (i believe even in the past or in wild now), selective greens and fruits serve as natural antibiotins and tonic, etc. My point of view though, cuz i feed my pup with strain of wheat grew in my garden, and it aids her digestion. My nearby neighbor's GR also take it whenever he comes over to my place for play play or when we walk him. My cat even knows how to harvest and consume it herself. That's when i learnt about it and try it out. Just an example... Even though my shih tzu is on raw at moment, I do give her cooked rolled oats mixed with organic veggie powder (the one Nezumitaro is selling) in the morning. Or sometimes I feed her plain unsweetened yogurt for probiotics. We let her try whatever fruits we are eating at home, but so far she only likes small amounts of bananas. But her main diet will always be meat. |

QUOTE(KittyKat @ Jan 21 2009, 08:47 AM) I dont see the grainless one around yet... But the ALS shot up to about 150+ for 6.8kg. Its like +/-50% up!!! Seriously?? That's even more pricey than Evo or Orijen! My friend also gave me a sample of Artemis. I think it's okay. Not grainless, but it has sufficient meat content to give it a 5-star rating. You know what, when Royal Canin came out with it's "specific breed" range of kibble, I was soooooo tempted to buy the shih tzu range for my dog. But Royal Canin has never been on my to-buy list. Has anyone ever tried it out? |

Honestly I've never seen the red meat range. Only the normal yellow packaging one.
But with the already super high protein content in the normal range, you still wanna feed the red meat variety? |

QUOTE(KittyKat @ Jan 21 2009, 03:59 PM) By Nature ok ok nia... Very low meat content. The ingredients not very remarkable as well. Too pricey for its range, will never reccomend. Its treats are Ok and well priced though. Added on January 21, 2009, 3:00 pm I belief others are waiting and racing to hike as well. If this continues... Sigh... I think Alpo will be the last resort. Hahaha... Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeee don't feed Alpo lah! LOL. Between Alpo and table scraps, I rather feed table scraps. At least I know precisely what I'm feeding my dog. If I have to resort to cheaper dog kibble, I would prolly switch to Pro Pac, but only the performance puppy lamb & rice formula (purple bag) nia. Or the original Innova (not Evo). Kibble choices in Kuching not much variety. Only recently pet shops started to bring in brands like Orijen, Evo, Nutro, California Natural, Avoderm etc. Before that, the best was I think Blackwood and Innova. |
