Hi, Nice pup you have there but soon there will be lotsa hair flying everywhere.. GR sheds as much as GSD. Anyway since you have a blender I would advise you to consider raw feeding. It is the best way to feed dogs in my opinion. You can read more about it at www.barfworld.com Hi Acsyen, Thanks for the pointer on BARF. Actually, I've been doing some reading on the subject and is one of the reasons I'm progressing my dog to non-commercialised food. At the risk of offending someone here(if I do, I deeply apologise), it just takes a little common sense to know that food in its natural form is infinitely better than anything processed. Especially something as highly processed as dog food, no matter how 'scientific' it might be. Imagine yourself eating instant noodles everyday. Choose your flavour, 'beef,' 'chicken' or 'tom yam' Come to think about it, maybe processed foods are the root cause of a host of human ailments today, since we consume so much of it. Remember the melamine thingy? If they can put this in HUMAN food, god only knows what goes into pet food. And they were only the ones who were caught. How many have gotten away with smaller dosages? Right now I'm using the kibble as a base. I then add cooked brown rice, mashed boiled carrots, potatoes and some leafy veggies to it and slightly cooked meat. (chicken and beef) The percentages are roughly (in weight) kibble(20%) brown rice(40%) potatoes, veggie, carrots(10%) and meat(30%) The only thing is that this diet is harder on the pocket and takes more time/effort. But what the heck, anything for your dog, eh? Please do let me know if I'm getting this right or wrong...I'd really appreciate it. Another thing, I can't seem to easily find offal, tripe and ground bones. Any pointers? Or better yet, does Malaysia have BARF distributors? Hapy, thanks for the advice on suger. I'll be sure to look it up. Best to all.
