My Top 4 Dog Foods


1. Vitality (Classic)

  • Highly palatable
  • No artificial colors & flavors
  • Complete and balanced nutrition using  chelated minerals for efficient absorption
  • Contains Omega Magic - A balanced and potent blend of OMEGA 6 & OMEGA 3 essential oils from flaxseed, sunflower, canola, and high-grade fish oils for a shiny coat and healthy skin.
  • Made from quality Australian ingredients

Feedback: 

  • This was the very first brand of Dog food he had ever since before I had him. When he was just a month old he had the Vitality (High Energy) that was intended for Puppies it was like a small bits version of the Vitality for adults. This is now his Dog food maintenance since he likes it and he always finishes his meal, I think this Brand is his favorite unlike the other alternatives I tried but it was not a success and it caused my fur baby some skin and coat problems. I don't have any issues with this dog food's odor and it promotes his coat and skin healthy and shiny. Vitality is the most expensive dog food I bought for him and it costs P180-190 per kilo.


2. Pedigree (Meat and Vegetables)

Key Features:

  • Complete & balanced dog food, perfect food for adult dogs

  •  Dogs need 2x Calcium, 2.5x Iron & 9x Vitamin B12 than humans, an ideal treat

  • Provides dogs the 5 Signs of Good Health - a PEDIGREE assurance!

  • dog food that also promotes Digestive Health and supports Natural Defences

  • Provides strong muscles, bones & teeth, and healthier & shinier coat

Ingredients:

  • Rice, Peas, Carrot, Corn, Chicken, Meat, 20% Crude Protein, 10% Crude Fat, 5% Crude Fibre

Feedback: 

  • I'm so delicate in terms of managing and maintaining my dog's health and coat and I want him to somehow try to eat vegetables through his dog food since he doesn't want to be feed with raw or half-cooked veggies and so I tried looking for Pedigree that doesn't have chicken in it and I found this brand that has Meat and Vegetables instead and it only cost around P130-140 per kilo, but unfortunately, he refused to eat, I think he doesn't want the flavor. He is so choosy with the brand of dog food he ate.



3. Nutri Chunks (Coatshine)


Key Features:

  •  100% complete and balanced nutrition

  • Contain yucca for less stool odor

  • With ocean fish meal rich in Omega 3 & 6

  • Suitable for all breeds of adult dog

  •  No artifical colors and contains only wholesome ingredients.

  • High quality protein, made with pet grade ingredients and real meat formulated by pet nutrition experts.

  • Prebiotics that help prevent diseases, improve digestion, nutrient absorption (especially minerals) and enhance the dog's immune system.

  • Nutrichunks is the only dog with ActivBoost Formula, an optimum blend of proteins, fats, and carbohydrates that support your dog's daily energy needs.

Ingredients:

  • Corn, Wheat, Soybean Meal, Wheat Bran, Corn Gluten Meal, Full Fat Soybean, Meat and Bone Meal(Bovine), Poultry Meal Chicken Fat, Fish Meal, Salmon oil, Vitamins, Minerals, Mannan oligosaccharide, Yucca, Preservative

Feedback: 

  • This brand was available in the market last 2019 and it costs around P130-160 per Kilo.  I am so concerned with my dog's coat and when I saw "Coatshine" in the packaging I eventually thought it would be good for him because I believe that "A healthy coat is a healthy dog".  But I stopped feeding him with Nutri Chunks since he doesn't like the flavor and I guess it has something to do with the smell and my dog has a very sensitive sense of smell, unlike from other dog foods I tried this one has an obvious odor.


4. Beef Pro (Performance Formula)

Key Features:

  • Breeders choice

  • High in protein and vitamins for adult dogs

  • Omega 3 and 6 Fatty Acids to promote a shiny coat and healthy skin

  • High in multivitamins for the adult dogs daily nutrition need

  • Beef based

Ingredients:

  • Beef, Natural beef flavors, Omega 3, 6 Fatty Acids

Feedback: 

  • I have tried feeding my dog with beef pro, thinking that it doesn't contain any meat other than beef. The breeder warned me not to feed him chicken because his kind of breed is allergic to kind of that meat and that it will cause him to shed a lot of his fur. So I thought Beef Pro was the best alternative for Vitality since it only cost P120 per kilo. But then weeks after feeding him with this dog food he suddenly had skin rashes and I thought maybe it was because I changed his diet and so I stopped giving this food to him.

A Mission For Stray Dogs

  Meet my new friend, Christian Nhel Fedelson, whom I met through Facebook, you can reach him out through this link: https://www.facebook.com/christiannhel.fedelson.3 I was touched by his genuine love and care for stray dogs when I saw his posts on Facebook and when I go through his account I saw that he even have a rescued dog and cat which made me more curious and so I eventually ask myself if I can join him with his mission and so I send him a personal message through FB Messenger.  Cara, The Rescued Dog and Storm, the Rescued Cat I invited him first to be one of my contributors or an author for my pet blog, but unfortunately, he refused to say that he is not into reading and writing content, I understand him and respected his decision. I think asking him to be one of my contributors might be a good platform to share the mission he started and it'll also help him find potential donors which will help him fund the stray dogs.   Knowing that he declined my invitation, I ask him

The Safest Place to Play

  Yesterday was a fantastic day to go for a walk and play with my furry baby and so I recalled that I already had S. Jessie's permission to visit St. Mary's College School and bring with me my Dog where we can freely play at the school ground, thus I rushed to prepare myself and my dog so we can have plenty of time outside, His aunt agreed to come with us and we're all excited about going to school to have some fun. When we arrived at the school, my friend Rocille, was already there with her two kiddos playing basketball and riding a bicycle, I thought maybe Rocille, got my message that we will be going to St. Mary's college, I felt much happier seeing her and the kids, I can't just walk my dog and play with him but I can also talk to my friend and play basketball with the kids. I felt like I was draining energy from all the walking and running with my dog around the campus. I ask my sister to look after my dog and walk away so I can sneak out to buy some refreshmen

The Skin and Coat Issues

Image
The first time he visits the vet with his fur Aunt. This was taken on November 23, 2019, in  Borongan Vet clinic. During those days I wasn't there with him and the one who took care of Bambit, was his Aunt Tisay, who is my younger sister. My fur baby was having issues with his skin and coat. He was having skin rashes resulting in hair loss which made me worry. That is why I ask my sister if she could bring him to a nearby clinic and fortunately she did answer my favor. The doctor's diagnosis of Bambit's skin rashes was said to be caused by mites which might be from other dogs or from the environment. The Doctor prescribed the Vetnoderm, a medicated soap that is Anti-fungal and Anti-bacterial. It's glad to say that the prescribed soap was effective in my pet's skin and coat issues it lessens the rashes and his fur was growing back to normal. From that experience when he was a puppy I become more conscious and obsessed with the cleanliness of his surroundings, especia
