Zen: no more smelly BO

It's been almost a month after we had switched to Dr. B's RAW diet.. Mummy commented that I don't have smelly body odour le =)

Mummy had increased our food intake quantity. Now both of us share a patty per day as compared to the 3/4 patty per day previously. Mummy had also just placed new order with Uncle Alfred of Barf Singapore as our supply is now running low. She had ordered for 2 packs of the Lamb recipe.. I can't wait to taste it soon =)

Few days ago Mummy had forgotten to thaw one patty for us and only left with a half of the thawed patty in the fridge, so she decided that I should be taking the RAW food while she put Patches on dry kibbles for that day. On the very next morning, Daddy complained to Mummy saying that Patches' stool is very smelly and quite soft while mine are firm and practically odourless. Mummy is indeed very pleased with Dr. B's diet.

Zen: Dr. B's new improved diet!

Hey peeps!

Sorry about mummy's ranting.. obviously her mood isn't good at all last night.. buy hey, here's more to share about Dr. B's RAW diet.

Some of mummy's friends had voiced out that they're abit concerned on the RAW diet as they could see the veggie bits (esp the carrots) was not grinded fine enough and too big a piece for us doggies to be digested properly.. Good new for y'all!!

so bloody.. so yummy..

This is the thawed version of Dr. B's new packaging RAW diet. They have improved alot. Look at how fine the things are blended. No more visible big chunks of carrots that you peeps are worried about! This is 1 meal for me.. hiak hiak hiak.. For comparison, look at the picture below.

One quarter from the patty equals to one meal for me

Both are kangaroo meat.. and yet they looked so different.. Are you guys convinced yet? Now we only poo poo once a day.

Zen: mummy is angry

This post is by Mummy Natalie..

If you've read on Zen's earlier post about their grooming at Bark & Bubbles on Friday the 2nd of May, well, I got more things to bitch about now.

Nevermind about the drying part where my Patches was not dried properly..

What pissed me off right now is that she became badly matted shortly after! Look at this picture below:

Just after grooming

I was being kind enough not to bitch about the stains still on Patches' face area after the grooming. Those stains are not permanent as I could easily wash them away during Patches' weekly bathing time. I had already de-matted her once on Saturday morning.. took me a good 30 minutes to do so where normally I would only take a short 10 - 15 minutes for her daily brushing.

Just now when I was running my fingers through her coat, it all got tangled again! And worst is that she smells awful like she hadn't bathed in 2 weeks -________-"

De-matt = 1 hour
Bathe = 45 minutes
Blow-dry = 1 hr 30 minutes

Total time wasted = 3hr 15 minutes!!!

And they charged me $5 extra cos Patches' fur is long.. seriously now I don't understand what's the $5 is paid for, since they didn't even do a good job in at least trying to comb her nicely or dry her completely. and I am paying $30 for the so-called basic grooming which does not include shaping of paws area & shaving of butt.

This is Patches 15 minutes ago; after de-matting, bathing and blow-drying by yours truly.

no more stains!

I'd like to re-rate Bark & Bubbles grooming service: 2/10

oh, and FYI, in case you didn't know, I brought my own ear cleaner and conditioner cos the girls' ears are super sensitive. The conditioner I use is Aloveen Oatmeal Conditioner, which I find is the most suitable for Patches' coat. To think that they as groomers can't even groom a dog properly. heh.

my Z & P will never step into B & B again! EVER!

Zen: Dr. B's RAW Diet

*sniff* *sniff*

Mummy came home smelling 'exotic' today. I tried poking my nose into her bag; and that 'exotic' thing in it is cooooooooooold *shivers* *sniff* *sniff*

When she took them out from the bag, it looked like this:

Dr. B's RAW Kangaroo Diet - new packaging

And after that, we became like this:

P: hiak hiak hiak.. more goody foodie for us
Z: we gotta wait till evening for our dinner.. *yawnzz*

Today is the second day mummy had been feeding us on Dr. B's RAW diet. Mummy is quite pleased with it as we're adapting well to it and no soft stools from us. What's more happy is that mummy didn't find any undigested food from our poo poo (apart from those rubbish that we picked up during our walks *blushes*).

Well, P puked some yellow thingy in the kitchen yesterday evening.. mummy thought P must have been too hungry, but me thinks P picked up something from dunno-where-else and swallowed it; and then she puked it all out again under mummy's bed. It was only later on that mummy found out that P had puked under her bed. Those yucky things she puked out were unrecognizable. We confirm it has nothing to do with Dr. B's food =)
