Dog Food 101.

In: Inspired|My Reviews|Scubby

1 Jun 2009

Often enough we hear people saying: We Are What We Eat. We scrutinize our food, we pick and choose the best, we even drive miles for that famous Penang Fried Kueh Teow *yums*

Penang Fried Kueh Teow

If we would go through so much trouble for our own gastronomical urges, would we do the same for our beloved furkid? Miles not included, just painstaking research ;)

Scubby says Please

Before we brought Scubby home, I did a substantial amount of research for the suitable dog kibble. But before we could do any recommended switch, whatever the breeder was feeding him then, we have to continue for another month.

Let’s look at Scubby’s Kibble Journey.

Eukanuba Small Breed Puppy

Dog Food Analysis: 1 star
Read their verdict here

The breeder was feeding Scubby Eukanuba.

If you read the ingredient on the bag, you wouldn’t be surprised, if I told you that once the 3kg was done, we never looked back at this brand. Ever!

I’ve shared my discovery and discovery with the breeder, but sadly, this is still what she feeds all — more than a dozen: alleged Puppy Mill alert! — of her dogs.

I hope you are not (-___-)

Eagle Pack Holistic Selection for Small breed Puppy

Dog Food Analysis: 4 star
Read their verdict here

After learning all bout Meat Meal, I was very determined to keep it out of Scubby’s diet. If possible…

So when I was introduced to this brand, Scubby was eating it the very next day!

A 3kg bag cost RM72, and can last about a month or so. If not for the price, we might be able to do it every month :(

Avoderm Puppy Formula

Dog Food Analysis: 4 star

Personally, I was quite happy with Avoderm. We were almost done with the bag and going for another, when I found out that Avocado is toxic to dogs! Run a Google search and you will find endless explanation on this.

I have no idea why they are still baking it?!? Or why Dog Food Analysis gave it a Four star?

Natural Balance Ultra Premium for Puppies

Dog Food Analysis: 4 star
Read their verdict here

We have been feeding Scubby Natural Balance since March, and he is almost into his 3rd bag now. The ingredients are acceptable although not entirely perfect. Unless of course, I bake them myself. And then, we can all enjoy *ugh* :D

We should be sticking to this brand — until the day Scubby gets bored and the search will begin again…

If you already knew what greatness Apple Cider Vinegar can do for us. Then you wouldn’t be too surprise to know, it does absolute wonders to our furkid as well.

Bragg Apple Cider Vinegar

My Verdict: 5 star

Just add 1-2 teaspoon into your dogs’ water bottle/bowl and witness the benefits for both you and him in a long run.

Don’t believe me, read this

Scubby has been drinking ACV since he was 3 months :)
