If you dont want your dog to become a finicky eater,don't feed him junk food. Feed him dog food that is nutritionally completer and balanced.

If they unable give more information. you may come over here forum for help. Someone will help you and show you the right way.,you may find some dog book or dog magazine for study.
if you love your dog very much or If you think your dog is buddy and if not they just a dog.

Is hard to know which is good or bad. Only long term will know the result. As I said before What do you pay,is what you get. you pay lower price, you might get less nutritionally.

Pitinn,
You are great, done a good job. The forum user may get more information from you. Keep in up!
That basic thing should know -Dog's need proteins, carbohydrates, minerals, fats, vitamins, and water.

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.

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.

List of recalls for Dog Food from Brand 'Natural Balance (RICE GLUTEN)'Information current as of March 5, 2008

wetwetwater,
Now Malaysia dog food industry getting more brands. If you think it is suitable for your dog. Great! long term will know the result, the sample unable let you know, it only can show you the dog like it or not.
What is special for this brand? Euro Premium , Who carry this brand at Malaysia? Have any Nutritionist support this brand?

If your dog eats their own poo, to see it as quite a disgusting habit and wish to do something to stop it. If your dog is in the habit of eating faeces you will be less eager to cuddle close to your dog and certainly less likely to want doggie 'kisses'. Also their habit may restrict their freedom as you are more likely to keep your dog on lead at walkies time. From a health point of view you may worry what germs and diseases your dog could be picking up.
Another solution for a dog who eats their own poo is simply to clean it up as soon as they have toileted. You can hope to break the habit but it may take some time. Also, if you clean up poop quickly you risk the poop becoming an item of perceived value to your dog, which is the opposite of what you wish to achieve. Instead, call your dog in for a treat after they have toileted, close the door and with your dog inside go out afterwards to pick up the poo.
more long term solution is to train your dog not to eat faeces. If you make a big fuss when your dog eats poop and try to stop your dog mid-scoff, your dog is likely to simply attempt to be quicker next time. Your dog may even think you are in competition and trying to reach the poop first because you desire to have it. The eating of poo has then become a significant event and could easily escalate into a habit. Distraction and reward is therefore preferable. Teaching the leave command can help. Start with something of low value before you graduate to using the leave command on something as rewarding as poo eating.
So, having mentioned health concerns, it is important to point out that your dog will not suffer many ill effects as a result of eating poop, at least not in the way that humans would

angelgurl_nee,

Trust the Hand That Feeds You
March 16, 2007, may have marked the tipping point for the pet food industry, the day the general public began to question how pet food is manufactured and the reliability of the claims made regarding its wholesomeness and safety. One of the most important tenets of our social contract with our dogs is to provide them with food that's good for them. Many dog guardians believed they were doing just that by feeding their dogs some of the products removed from the shelves by the Menu recall. Even people who have long been concerned about the pet food industry and who don't feed their pets commercial food were surprised by the enormity of this recall. How could this have happened?

There are many reasons, starting with lax FDA oversight and the self-regulated, non-governmental nature of the Association of American Feed Control Officials, which sets nutritional standards, label requirements and feed-trial protocols for pet foods. Many of its members come from state agriculture departments as well as from within the industry itself. The pet food market is controlled by huge multinational conglomerates, and five companies dominate: Nestlé (Purina, Alpo, Friskies, Mighty Dog), Del Monte (Gravy Train, Nature's Recipe, Milk Bone), MasterFoods (Mars' Royal Canin, Pedigree, Sensible Choice), Proctor and Gamble (Iams, Eukanuba) and Colgate-Palmolive (Hill's Science Diet, Nature's Best). What seemed the most surprising to consumers was that some of the "premium" brands, such as Iams, Hills and Nutro-beneficiaries of greater consumer confidence-like the others, don't always produce their own food. Instead, their recipes and "formulas" are jobbed out to contract manufacturers, companies like Menu Foods, Diamond and Doane, who actually make the foods and purchase raw ingredients in cost-saving bulk. This is a much cheaper way of producing the food because each brand doesn't have to invest in expensive manufacturing equipment themselves. Which is how wheat gluten (a low-quality protein source) appeared in so many products, under so many different brands (co-packers like Menu also make store-brand pet foods for Wal-Mart and Kroger, among others).

So what is a responsible dog caregiver to do?
Beginning with our May/June 2007 edition, we will be taking a closer look at the issues we face as we make our pet food-buying, or feeding, decisions. Because Bark is a bimonthly publication, we can't be a source for late-breaking news, but luckily, outstanding work is being done by many other organizations and bloggers and we urge you to track the information being provided by these resources online. (See resources.) Look for Bark's ongoing series of interviews and investigations into this important topic.

Commercial dog food manufacturers spend millions of dollars researching dog's nutritional needs so that their products are nutritionally complete and balanced. Their ongoing research ensures consumers that their products meet requirements if a public that has become extremely healthconscious, even where their pets are concerned. Try get english languages Dog magazines or dog food brand latest news on webpage for more information of dog food article. Like always said what you pay, is what you get! Pay lower price for good quality Nutritional and vitamins dog food might hard to get!

I still wonder why, need change many brands of dog food at short period, and also how to know it good sign in short term result. I really cannot understand to how going on!!!!

Have a news for dogs suffered kidney disease and some had died after consuming the affected dog food. Found up youself which dog food and soon later will know which brand cause it. Keep on changing many brands it is hard to get the Statistics. It will happen few year later.

Don't panic, they have it under control, but if you feed Orijen, you might want to take a look at this:
