*modified*

what do expect when u feed ya dog indomie? What nutritional value does it have? other than making ya dogs stool watery . telme, can u survive or gain weight on indomie for a month without seeking for medical help asap. i was ones in ya shoes before, if i should rcommend; try left overs from fast food(real fastfood) which contains alot of raw meat(chicken mostly) less bone which cost #150 per kilo.
i find it better and less xpensve compared with the commercials products i buy at #300 for a can that lasts for just a day and still lives my dog wanting more.
I bought 2.5kilos for #300 on tuesday and more still remains till nxt i go for a refill on saturday. As m typing ryt now my dog has been gaining weight noticeably ever since.
To be honest, i keep asking my sef why didnt i thought about this earlier.

Oops...easy there bro..

Feeding noodles alone can get your dog fat! Even. 

Noodles is made from wheat and oil, which gives it a high fat content. Besides that, wheat is. High in carbohydrates and excess carbohydrates become body fat. 

Noodles is also good in protein.

Now I'm going to counter your prescription bro, 
Leftovers have somuch, including things the dogs can't break down. 

For example, onions is bad for dogs, salt too. And these things are found in leftovers. 

Another thing is bones, hard sharp bones from fishes like croaker  can injure your dogs.

My advice, if you can't get dry food that's high in protein, buy Titus fish, boil and add to your dog's noodles. 

One last thing, a 'fat' dog isn't a healthy dog. ‎

well, thats from ya own perspectives but what i said is based on my own personal experience.
i tried that alot earlier even got a carton of indomie and corn beef to mix, the only result i got was watery stool nothing more which got me worried.
i started looking for alternatives: i tried dogmor;nothing, went for diamond puppy seems the effect was slow and expensive so i ditched it ; bought a create of jojo puppy; nothing (dont be deceived by the red chunks,those are max colors to give it meaty appearance) just made my dog stool redish which is kinda odd.

Then i decided to try left overs;this aint ordinary left overs,the content was certifying it wasnt what i expected though: it contents were raw chicken necks,gizzard,rib cage,skin and few others. This aint mama pot you see fish bones and burnt egusi soup;its just like mr biggs dem,chicken carpitol,where they need the meaty parts for sharwamas.
Another thing is there's also an option for cooked leftovers like fried rice, chicken bones and the rest all mixed up together for just #100 per kilo i ditched it and went for the raw.

What do i gat to lose when it has quality and less expnsive so i went for it,all i did was just bring it out from the package, wash it if necessary then give it to my dog direct without hassle. Chikina !

The indomie am talking abt here is not the sachet one oo, its the one that looks like crumbs which I usually get from the pet store with some other ingredients too let me just tell you the proportion
Indomie--- 10kg
Toasted soya----1kg
GNC---- 1kg
Grounded fish---- 2kg (mix all together)
All I do is to add this toboiling water and stir well till it softens at times I add brandy(canned food) to it also and I serve when cool

Hello everyone, here is my contribution. There's not best diet, there's only one I can recommend to any pet owner. I hv my secrete and it works perfectly once strict attention is play to it. My secrete is "CONSISTENCY".
What is Consistency? In a lean man language, this hv to do wit the time interval a dog or pet is fed. I wonder y some pet owner expect their dogs to gain weight and look chubby, yet they are not consistent wit the feeding. No matter the food or feed used, or the amount of can food or dry food use in feeding ur pet. If u are not consistent wit the feeding routine. Don't expect ur dog to gain weight. If u chose to feed ur dogs wit garri and u are consistent wit it, I tell u this, u will be amazed by the drastic weight gain of ur pet.
Some pet owner believe it's until they buy one imported dry dog food or restaurant waste before their pet will gain weight. But I say to u "sorry", it doesn't work dat way. Give ur pet all the imported food or fatty food, if u are not consistent wit the feeding @ the right timing, don't expect to get any result.

2ndly, ur dog MUST be frome a lineage or 4rm parents wit good body weight (i.e if u are the type that like dog wit massive body weight). U don't expect ur dog to have a massive body weight gain, wen the parent are as thinny as pencil. Can u feed a mongrel to gain weight as that of boerbeol?
Genetically, ur dog must have it in its gene to have a nice body weight. So, STOP expecting weight gain if u are not consistent wit the feeding of ur pet. Also, if the breed u have is not the type wit massive gain, pls stopboteingse.boteings

well, you noticed ur recipe isn't doing any good,why not try different food. Some dogs don't like constant diet, try changing the diet to discover better ones that does the trick better. And again try consistency Just like petfreak suggested, he's view on that side was brilliant but twasnt my issue.

How old is the dog?
if it is still a puppy, please go for dry food like the diamond puppy, soaked and give the puppy to it.
Protein content for your dog is very vital to make its features come out very well.
for puppy- above 32% protein
Adult- Around 20% is okay. More of energy.

Why not go for Teesyn dry food for dog fattening if you want quick results. within 2 weeks you will see your result and you can start maintaining with your normal food after the result is visible.
