my dog just goes crazy when feeding time, he will never sit there listening to u.
he will just rush to kitchen and sit there, jumping, shouting

That's "amazing"!!!
Which breeder u got it from?

Any photos ??

That's horrible!! The pet store near by intro me some other brand which is less to be seen around ... silver & yellow package.

What actually a good brand for MS? since they hav sensitive skin...

haha... after getting my 1st MS. nearly wanted to get a 2nd MS last week

how much should we feed the MS ?

I m feeding my furkid with Fitness (silver & yellow packaging), his stools now less smelly, or i can say no smell (perhaps my nose have problem, HAHA).
The stools are not soft / muddy, kinda easy to clean. I just use the old newspaper to wrap and throw...

Thinking to try Orijen or Blackwood.

I think that's difficult to tell.
Did some survey online, collected price info from those online pet shopping web.
Some really selling quite cheap ...

I think better fix a date & time earlier so that others who wanna join and plan ahead... :-)

arhh?? 19-01-09 is Monday woh...

Hmm.. really ?
I tried a little b4 Orijen (mix with raw food last time), the poo is very smelly. Almost feel like get poisoned while cleaning his shit.

Pet store told me, they dun recommend BLACKWOOD as it will make MS big bone woh... is that true ?

My puppy for few dots at his chests & abdomen too.
Vet gave me a bottle of antibiotic.

He scratched his neck & biting his rear legs very often. Symptom of allergy ?

How about ACANA?

Maybe. What did the vet says?

Scratching the necks could be have flea infection in the ears.
most probably during the visit to pet shop grooming. Which i am quite believing in this judgment, bcos i notice his ears get dirty very soon (2days will need to clean his ear dy)...

I wonder. If to avoid / prevent to get flea infection in the future, no more going to pet shop for grooming?
