Sorry I have no idea. As I said I only feed mine tinned sardines a couple of times a week. Just knew that the fish was cheap at Rouse Hill because we used to buy it there for ourselves. I can only tell you that we don't buy the Basa ourselves as it comes from Vietnam and I've heard that its pretty polluted - my opinion only. We always bought Australian fish. I believe only the larger deep sea fish contain levels of mercury etc but again I'm relaying what other people have told me and I don't know all the facts. I don't think it would apply to anything you caught in Australia (at least I'd hope not). Good luck with your fishy meals, I hope your dogs enjoy them

I can't advise on feeding raw fish as I only give mine canned sardines, but the cheapest place in the area is Woolworths at the new Rouse Hill Shopping Centre. You should be able to buy something like Basa in your price range. Saying that, Basa is imported from Vietnam and I would also check out lead content etc which you get with some bigger fish.

Same here too - I get the no name ones from Woolworths and they come in packs of 3 - works out quite reasonable.

Really sorry to hear Sierra is not well. Both of mine have had something similar in the last couple of weeks. The only thing I have done different is as soon as they finish their antibiotics I give them a dollop of natural yogurt on their biscuits. Don't know if it actually works but my vet advised me to do it to replace good bacteria. They definately enjoy it

I too feed Eagle Pack Holistic. Find my guys go really well on it and even the vet said they looked fantastic and asked about their diet. Used to use Eukanubra but it didn't seem that special for the price. Have also used Advance and although the dogs love it, they definately do better on the Eagle Pack.

I get "Inner Health Plus Dairy Free" from the health shop. Not cheap but a great alternative and you can take it too :rolleyes: Obviously keep it in the fridge as its full of live bacteria. If you decide to go this way, make sure you let them know its the dairy free. I give one capsule daily as maintenance.

New Pup Owner - Food/nutrition Worries
rijbiz replied to mademoisellemika's topic in Health / Nutrition / Grooming
I changed my guys over to Eagle Pack earlier in the year and have been really pleased with the results. Even my vet asked what I was feeding them as their coats were so good. I also keep 1 or 2 tins of Natures Gift in the cupboard for an emergency. At least I know its all natural and its only once in a blue moon. -
Can Anyone Recommend A Good Dog Chiropractor In Perth
rijbiz replied to rijbiz's topic in Health / Nutrition / Grooming
Thanks everyone, really appreciate your help. Might try the guy in Forrestfield as I think that is only about 30 minutes drive or so (hopefully he hasn't moved to far). Hate to admit I've never heard of Shelly Perth is all very new to me (they were doing roadworks locally last week and after getting diverted I actually got lost trying to find my kids school) -
I always use Brierdene for my Ridgies and I've never had any problems. The owners are Afghan breeders (Khandu Afghans) and also show judges. Very knowledgeable. Would definately recommend them.

When Do You Switch From Puppy Food To Adult Food?
rijbiz replied to cassie's topic in Health / Nutrition / Grooming
I've got four Rhodesian Ridgebacks (10yrs, 4yrs, 15 months and 12 months) and I feed them all Advance. At six months they go from Puppy to adult food and I also don't feed them "large breed" varieties as I don't want them to grow too quickly and become "bum high". Hope this helps. -
What To Use To Soothe Sore Fly Bitten Ears?
rijbiz replied to SarasMum's topic in Health / Nutrition / Grooming
One of my girls gets this quite bad in summer and I used to apply Panalog (available from the vets), until someone told me to rub vaseline on her ears. Decided to give it a try and although its not the best look (greasy ears), it really does work - just wash it off when we have a show. I also spray them with fly repellant available from most horse stores. -
I've got 4 large breed dogs and feed them Advance, used to feed Eukanubra but swopped after I found out that Advance is the only one made in Australia from Australian products. I have no problems with this food and their coats are great. Do not feed them large breed variety after 6 months old as I find it makes them grow too quickly and they can end up "bum high".

Thanks - I'm off to Bunnings !!

Quite a few of us have this ONE $12 from Bunnings. The golf one pops up on ebay now and again. Is the one on ebay the same as the $12 one from Bunnings?
