Hi,

Anyone knows where I can find this brand --- Innova Evo? I checked Pets Wonderland; both Mid Valley and GE Mall, none.

However, I'm thinking of changing my puppy's food to Kibbles 'n Bits, which is better; Innova Evo or Kibbles?

Anyway, I'm feeding my pup with Innova Evo because the breeder fed her with that brand so I'm thinking of doing a transition, slowly.

(:

Hi there,
I'd try a place called Pet Safari- The Pet Lovers Center located in Damansara. I know for a fact that they carry the regular Innova made by Natura. I wouldn't be surprised if they had EVO too. I just moved to Malaysia and shipped a bunch of it with me as I wasn't sure what would be available.
You asked which food is better EVO or Kibbles and in my opinion I'd have to say EVO. I say this mostly from the results I've seen in my dog when she eats it. When you compare dry dog food the main thing you need to look at is the ingredient list. EVO is a grain free food that has meat and single protein meat meal as the first few ingredients so some people feel that it is a better quality product. Due to the fact that the ingredients are of higher quality a lot of the time this translates to the ability to feed less since the dog can utilize the food better. Something like Kibbles contains grain prodcuts as the first ingredients, and even some of the grains are broken down for example instead of just wheat or wheat flour it contains wheat middlings which is what is left AFTER flour is made. The more the grain is stripped/broken down the less nutrients remain. If you are going to feed a food that contains grain you'd want something that said wheat or wheat flour vs. wheat middlings. Personally, I also don't like the fact that Kibbles uses yellow and red dye in their food. If you ask me it is unnecessary. The dogs don't care what color their food is.
Buy the best food that you can afford for your pup. Much like humans, if you can make the investment in their foundation (diet, vet check-ups, exercise etc) you can put them on a healthy path for their adult life.
Is the pup the yorkie in the picture????? If so- toooo cute!
(Another bonus for EVO would be that they offer a small bites version which is great for the little guys! I own a 70 lb. dog but I give her the EVO RM small bites!) Hope my response was of some help. Best of luck with your new addition!
