For the past 2 years I have been feeding our 5 year old boxer, 60 pounds, Natural Balance Lamb and Rice. It was the only food I found that agreed with his stromach and allergies. Let's just say I think he is really bored with it. I have been having to add meat, wet canned Wellness etc. to get...

Over the past few months Tucker has had stinky breath and much more shedding than usual. He has been on Natural Balance for about a year now and I am pretty strict with his diet as he has a very sensititve tummy. I recently purchased the "furinator" and it has helped a lot. I can't believe...

Went to the vet today and the good news is no parasites or bacteria. The vet gave us 2 prescriptions to help get everything back on track...one is Flagil (not sure if this is spelt right) and I can't remember what the other one was. I feel better knowing everything is ok and hopefully he will...

I picked up the Natural Balance Sweet Potato and Duck today as I noticed it is totally grain free. I think I am going to give this one a shot before I try the NB Lamb and Rice. We are totally off the rice. He actually had a good, not perfect but much improved, poop this morning so there is...

Is the sweet potato as mild as the rice? I will pick some up tomorrow, thanks everyone.

Thanks so much. I have had a lot of people recommend the NB Lamb and Rice so I think I am going to give it a shot, something has to work! I would give anything for his diarreha to go away, it makes me feel so bad and like I am doing something wrong. I will introduce the NB slowly in a few...

I fasted him for 24 hours then did beef and rice...not good. We went to the dog park today and he didnt even want to play because he kept using teh bathroom, I felt so bad. So we came hime nad had 2 pepto. He has had so much gas and yucky runny poops. So tonight we are back to chicken and...

Thanks everyone for the suggestions. I will keep doing the boiled chicken and maybe do the sweet potato with it. He is still pretty itchy and has eye boogers on the boiled chicken and rice even after a week. Now this has me thinking maybe he does have a grain allergy? I guess I can try the...

I have been feeding boiled chicken and rice for 6 days now and am about ready to introduce kibble back in. Even though this is the 6th day on this our guys poop still has been runny and a yellowish color. He actually had an accident in the house last week when he was on the boiled chicken and...

We have had the exact same problem with Tucker. It is only on the tip of one ear for some reason. We actually had the vet look at it on our last visit and she said they were called "ear tips" I had never heard of this before. She explained they were allergy related. I just keep an eye on it...

Brandi- I just switched my guy to Wellness last week and experienced the exact same thing. Which one are you using...we are doing the Super5Mix Whitefish and Sweet Potato. I am wishing I did Core now and am still thinking of switiching to that instead. I actually had to call the vet this...

Well it has been almost a week now and I am not sure about the new food, Wellness Super5 Mix Whitefish and Sweet Potato we started Tucker on. I have been adding 1 tbsp of pumpkin everyday to his food to help with his poop but I have yet to see any improvements. I was mixing his old Canidae in...

Thanks for your help, I will try the pumpkin tomorrow morning.

Quick question on feeding pumpkin vs yougart. Pumpkin helps with runny poop, upset tummy while yougart hleps with gas...is this correct? I am doing a food switch from Canidae to Wellness Super5Mix and my guy has horrible gas and very runny poops. Now I am nervous I made the wrong...

I actually just started feeding this same food today. We are switiching from Candidae, I really wanted to do Wellness Core but had a very hard time finding it in town. I ended up calling the manufacturers for Wellness and I explained to them our guy has a very sensitive tummy and skin...
