Genesis Puppy Kibble

[PANDI-GIRL]

I was looking at Genesis puppy kibble, 

Protein- 32%

Fat - 20%

Fibre - 2%

M- energy - 385

Would this be a good food for small breeds, anyone use this kibble

We use the Hills puppy food - in our case for large breeds as ours is a lab.

Never heard of Genisis puppy food

[PANDI-GIRL]

I have not used it yet, there is  Salmon & Brown rice ,  also  Chicken & Turkey with Brown rice.

Australian made & owned

The Guaranteed  Analysis looked good,  so I'm checking if anyone has used it , with good or bad results.

We just used what the breeder advised (Hills) while the vet gave us a sample bag of the Royal Canin equivalent but she did better on the Hills food.  It tends to be the food that your puppy does best on not what seems best on paper.

A lot of people swear by raw feeding but others its going to be too fatty for and not suit them - I often heard chicken necks were good for dogs but we tried them once and they were left untouched in the yard (and gross to get rid of).

SO perhaps start with whatever the puppy is already on and then try your preferred brand of puppy food (puppy food is a different mix than adult food) and see if your puppy goes better or not so.

Hills is a very average quality food for the price.

Here's an online review, though bear in mind that this is just one person's opinion, and there are a LOT of different opinions about what makes a good dog food.

Does anyone have Reviews for Puppy Food

Thanks for the replys

 

I tried ZIWIPEAK  and PANDI  started coughing, every time she eats it, She loves it , I don't like the coughing after,

Should i still feed it after this bag is gone, if she gets so over excited and coughs every time she eats.

ZIWIPEAK

[PANDI-GIRL]

I now only feed ZIWIPEAK as training treats, as she was coughing a lot when eating  Ziwipeak in a bowl.

I think she loves it so much, and gets overly excited, eats it to fast.

I only feed the dried squares, as she vomits with  Ziwipeak in a can

The canned ziwi may just not agree with her or she may be eating it too fast.

 

If you want to feed it you could try putting it in a Kong toy

or a slow feeder bowl like this http://outwardhound.com/shop/slow-eating-stop-bloat-dog-bowls-and-feeders/fun-feeder-mini

 

Using puzzle toys, kongs and slow feeders is a great way to give your puppy some mental exercise in addition to training. Many can be used with dry food too.

Thanks PK,  I have been looking for some good Puzzle Feeders , Do you  know  any others too try.

Oh there are some fantastic puzzle toys out there these days.

 

It partly depends on the type of food you want to put in it though, and also whether your puppy has any preferences regarding toys.

 

Here's a couple of great online stores to check out:
