I have lived in Cyprus all my life!

I have also visited the pet shop Ttomis suggested but they sell the same food as in Love Birds, Bento Kronen, lowest quality food ever! It even includes euthanized animals according to my research.

Hazza, I have never heard of that place, I will have a look! Thanks!

Hello conmarios! I have in fact gotten some baby tortoises from her, I also have an adult male, I am looking mainly for an adult female for him to pair up with. He is very hyper, and it's very little in breeding season. He needs a nice big lady to calm him down. If I will go tortoise hunting again I will be looking in pet shops where they sell big tortoises, if you have any idea please let me know! I am looking for the following brands: Wellness Core, Taste of the Wild, Solid Gold, Orijen, Instinct and Innova EVO.
These are 6 star dog foods and I am looking to feed my dogs the best! If you can help me find a pet shop where they sell these brands, conmarios, please inform me!

tessintrnc, forget dog food, raw meat and bones is a really great and natural dog diet. I just don't have the time to prepare this diet as I have lots of animals to care for... Your dog must be very healthy!

I keep land tortoises, I do feed them natural foods but in the Summer there are no plants that are nutritious for tortoises, so I decide to feed them some a vegetable mix but with tortoise food to keep them strong. Not all tortoise food are good quality though, if you should choose between natural diet and ready food I suggest you choose natural if it's easy for you. The problem with most ready food for tortoises is that it's low in calcium, but I use calcium powder on their food so it's not really a problem.

I have bought some tortoise food from Love Birds, I have known Love Birds for many years now as I live close to them! If I need them I go to them walking! But the tortoise food they sell is not always of good quality... I asked if they can order a different brand but they can't so I am always searching for something better.

Thank you all, I am looking forward to your reply!

PS. I remember once when I was at Love Birds, a truck came and unloaded some animals, including tortoises. If I knew what company they were or their phone number maybe I would be able to find a nice lady tortoise for my male. I have had him for 5 years and I know he is longing a female. Would any of you know of any animal suppliers? Specifically tortoise or generally reptile suppliers? Also, they should be selling their animals cheaper than the pet shop if I can track them down...

Thanks again!

Hi again Pale
All the brands you’re looking for are made in the US well you can forget it nobody imports pet food from the States they are to expensive due to long distance.
Look for some European brands with the same ingredients and contact them your self maybe you will get lucky and they will ship them to you direct.
Sorry I can help you with your tortoise mine is a marine tortoise male about 10 years old.
Let me know what happens with the dog food please.

sorry double post by mistake

[Pale]

The ingredients I want to see, I have searched for something containing the following but have not found any, do you know of which contain these ingredients?

1 )I want to see preferably at least 2-3 out of the top 5 ingredients be meat or meat meal (first ingredient must be!). Meal is simply the meat with the moisture removed.
2 ) I want to see higher quality grains, such as barley, brown rice, and oatmeal, instead of seeing wheat and corn. Or an alternative starch/carbohydrate such as potatoes or sweet potatoes.
3 ) I don't want to see any byproducts.
4 ) I don't want to see a lot of fillers.
5 ) I don't want to see preservatives that are believed to be carcinogens (BHA, BHT, ethoxyquin).
6 ) I don't want to see artificial colorings such as the Red, Blue, and Yellow dyes.
7 ) I don't want to see added sugars (sugar, corn syrup).
8 ) I don't want to see mystery meats (meats identified only as "meat" or "poultry".)

Also, have you seen ZiwiPeak anywhere? It is a very high quality food and sold in Europe..

Now I use Royal Canin but have read it is not a very good food. 2-3 star dog food...

ZiwiPeak is a New Zealand product look at http://ziwipeak.com/ not Eurorean.
Iam sure nobody imports from there.
Any way good luck with your searge if you find anything as good as you want please let me know will you?

Hi,

Thank you!

What is the name of your pet shop?

And I am wondering, do you sell land turtles? (χελωνες ξηρας) If yes, what size and price?

Thank you.

[carleen]

Pale, you need to be looking a James Wellbeloved products. Try googling.
At one time I thought of importing into Cyprus but had difficulty finding good outlets to stock the product.
It is not cheap but is used widely in the UK by breeders, working dogs and show dogs.
