Could anyone please direct me to some places or persons where I can purchase RACING PIGEONS / HOMERS, thanks.

Greetings everyone

I know this is a stupid question, but does any pet shops sell birds in Doha?

"If you`re dreaming a love story let tears tell us about it"

is ok to feed all the time but if they are over 7-8 yrs, they need the mature food as it has less protein. If they have had previous kidney problems, use the Renal variety. You can go in to the vets for free advice if you are unsure.

thanks fatcat, i'm feeding it natural food now (egg-fish-etc) no preservation ingredients at all, its a hassle for me, takes time, (now its my sis time because i letf it back home)but its good for it,

i don't think royalcanin is available in egypt, but i will look for it, at least for the 2 times a week. thanks :)

Mghozlan, you cannot compare whiskas to Royal Canin... They are in two different leagues all together! For starters, you cannot buy Royal Canin at the supermarket, only vets are allowed to sell.

But one must do what one feels comfortable with : )

My cats love dry food and hate wet food. Guess what I'm going to feed them ; )

GM, i used to feed it wiskas a very known australian catfood brand, and the effect didn't show until after 2.5 years, this is my advice to u, take it or leave it.

I suppose it would depend on what food you gave your kitty... Cos i've never had a problem with my cats eating dry food only, and I've never had a vet telling me that dry food is bad. I do not believe Royal Canin dry food would cause kidney stones, perhaps the cheaper brands, but you get what you pay for.

mghozlan, what are you basing your advice on keeping the dry food to a max of 2x week on?

based on the vet advice, i used to feed my cat dry food, than the s**t hit the fan, it got so sick, i had to stay 1 week beside it because of kidney stone problem caused by dry food.

Thanks to all of you for the information!!

A

is it only dry food , i mean royal canin, or ur talking about can food.

I can confirm that Doha Vets do stock RC Persian. It is 90QR a bag. You can place a regular order. Royal Canin is suitable to be given as an exclusive food. Unlike supermarket brands, it has the correct balance of protein and nutrients

please don't give ur cat dry food, or only dry food. keep it to max 2 times per week, with plenty of water, as this affects its kidney and causes death.

Hiya

I use qatcom for searching for everything. there are about 10 petshops listed. HEre is a direct link:

hope this helps

Alyson, you can get Royal Canin for cats here, I always buy the hairball control at Doha Vets. If they don't have the specific for persians, they'll probably order it for you. I think their website is www.dohavets.com or something like that.

If I may suggest, if you use an enclosed litter box, bring one with you, as they are very expensive here (QR250 for a really cheap looking one). Also bring toys, they are not easy to find here. And stuff like nail clipper as well. Oh, and frontline is also quite expensive here, and I haven't found the specific one for cats, the vet told me to simply put less of the dog one. Anyway, those are the things you should know if you're bringing kittie with you.

Man i prefere you bring one month supply with you, coz i dought if you can find such brand here, thu there are many similar and till your cat get used to the new food you must back him up ;-)

Regards

My recommendation is that you steer clear of pet shops here. They are not what you would consider a pet shop to be....like petsmart or petco etc.

Royal Canin can be purchased at the veterinary surgery.

Visit our website: (you'll find all the details you need.)

Good luck on your move. :)

There is one in Al Nasser St.

Few supermarkets have pet foods on sale. Better take some with you...
