Sure you can post the name of the food.

I don't like it..

Trout, Oatmeal, Toasted Oats, Herring Meal, Oat Flour, Canola Oil, Sweet Potato, Calcium Carbonate, Flax Seed, Lecithin, Grapeseed Oil (Preserved with Mixed Tocopherols)

Oats are by far the first ingredient in this food.

it's Pinnacle Allergen-Free Trout & Sweet Potato Dry Formula gosh! its so hard to find the right dry food for my lady. she's sensitive to chicken as it will cause her bumps..
ahh...thanks for your advice once again.. Got to do some more readings..

[Prin]

Did you see my "poultry-free foods" thread? I was looking for a food for Boo a while back and I listed them all there and talked about the pros and cons of each...

yeap..i read that topic a few times. and i find it real useful..
but some of the brands mentioned aren't available in my country. :sad: eg: Petcurean , Fromm , California Natural..
Maybe i need to go through timberwolf and Nature's Variety website once again..
Down with two decision at the moment...
hmm..so,which brand you finally decided on for boo?

[Prin]

What do you have access to? If you tell us what you can get, we can help you pick the best one.

[stergeR]

but, before i post up the preferred brands..i think its best for me to visit the petshops one of these days. will get back here to update very soon.. thanks for now..
*its 4am, brain working kinda slow..time to sleep..*

Innova sells their food in Singapore, according to their website...
http://www.naturapet.com/display.php...ame=&x=14&y=10

So maybe you could get the California natural herring (it's a bit too grainy too) or the Innova Evo RM (red meat only).
Evo RM
California Natural Herring and potato

And Solid Gold has a distributor there too.

Their "Barking at the Moon" would be good to try too.
BATM
(but evo and Barking at the Moon shouldn't be fed to puppies, in case your doggy is still growing...)

hi Prin. thanks for your advices..
my lady has pass 1 yr old. so i suppose shes arent a puppy anymore?

but unfortunately the brands (Evo+California natural) u suggested are great, but its kinda far for me to travel over to get it. as i preferred to get small packs instead the bigger packs.. got bad experience getting those big packs.
And, as for BATM..its looks great as well and i have check out one of the store near me..it contains chicken instead of beef+salmon. perhaps i shall wait till the new packaging with the revised ingredients is up in the rack. just in case its still contain the old ingredients

i have 2 brands on mind currently.. should be deciding on either one first..
1: Timberwolf (formula- wilderness elk+salmon, lamb+barley, ocean blue, black forest)
2: Nature's Variety Prairie (formula- lamb+oatmeal)

by the way, i found ZiwiPeak Cuisine - A Natural Balanced Real Meat Diet here in Singapore. I wonder does your side have this? Any comment on it?

[technodoll]

Here is their website: http://www.ziwipeak.com/Products/ZiwiPeak-Cuisine/

Looks VERY good to me, I would prefer feeding that than any of your other choices actually. You are lucky to have this available!

[stergeR]

.. thanks!
but :sad: the prices arent very attractive to me.. i wish i earn big bucks.. it cost approxi 30.00 Sin Dollars which is about 22.7255 CAD

2.2 lb bag feeds an average 31lb dog for 7 days.

maybe i will just get a pack and alternate it with those dry food... feeding that everyday, i think i gonna eat grass soon. *faint*

[Prin]

Hard to say about the Ziwi food because we can't tell the order of the ingredients from the website.

Timberwolf is good too, if you have access to it.

If those are the ingredients (per bag of food), listed in order of weight, then it's all good. no grains and no by-products or filler, everything natural.

is this a dehydrated or freeze-dried diet?
