She is doing very well this week without the veggies at all, so I have to assume that they are the main culprit. Though she was a little loose after her organ meal, but you say that is pretty normal. I will definitely try the pumpkin when I start her back on the veggies. I don't have a clue...

We were advised against using any carrots or other root veggies because they so quickly are converted to sugar and will contribute to the yeast overgrowth. Also no fruits because of the high sugar content. I have only been giving her about 3 or 4 tablespoons of veggie mush, and I mix it in...

I have been feeding my boxer girl barf for one month now. She seems to be doing well with everything but the veggies. We started Barf because she has allergies and is always itching and has frequent diarrhea. Now, she only seems to get diarrhea after her veggie meal. I can hear her poor...

Thanks for the replies. We also have to avoid all dairy, so no cottage cheese and yogurt.

I forgot to add that because of her allergies, we can't give her any grains, or starchy vegetables like carrots and potatoes.

I just started feeding Barf a week and a half ago to my girl who has allergies. She has always had loose stools on whatever kibble we fed, including prescription for allergies, and has always been slightly underweight. Now, her ribs are more pronounced and I am increasing the suggested amounts...

Thanks. We stopped the puppy formula long ago, and we moved him onto Nutro's large breed adult formula, but he doesn't want to eat that anymore, and tries to eat our boxer's food. We wanted to switch brands, but were wondering if the glucosoamine was really necessary any more.

No, the reason he is so big is not because we fed him large breed. He IS large breed. As my original post states, he is a boxer mix. His mother was a boxer and his father possibly great dane, or more likely also some sort of large mix breed. We're in Box Hill North. We have one boxer girl...

Is it necessary to continuing feeding a large breed food (or supplementing with glucosamine) once the pup is an adult? I notice that many of the premium foods have a large breed pup formula, but not one for adults. Our boxer mix is definitely a big boy, weighing in at just under 100 pounds.

One of our dogs has a definite odor problem. She has allergies, and has had problems with yeast infections in her ears. The ears cleared up fine when we used the medicine that the vet gave us. But she still has this odor that doesn't go away. Can yeast infect the skin and make the whole dog...

Thanks for the information. We are planning to get her in to the vet soon, but we are still waiting for her previous vet records to be sent to us by the rescue organization. They should be here any day.

We recently adopted a fawn girl from rescue and her previous owners fed her one of the popular supermarket brand kibble. She has a problem with smelly stuff building up in her ears, and I have heard that it is probably yeast resulting from the low grade kibble. Other than switching her to a...
