    Help! What food should I switch to? Dog develoepd problems

    Dog was doing pretty well on Nutro Natural Choice Venison with Perfect Form added to pumpkin. He HATES the Perfect Form but that stuff sure works. Due to a delivery problem, I was running out of Nutro Venison. He had 2 meals with Nutro Venison mixed with TOTW Seafood Salmon and one with just...

    Help! What food should I switch to? Dog develoepd problems

    Which food has 13 meat sources? Dog is still doing OK on Nutro Venison with pumpkin. Yesterday I added some Perfect Form suppplement for the first time. It worked well but my dog HATED it. He only ate because that was all he could eat but he looked miserable, watching the other dog enjoy...

    progress He has been eating nothing but Nutro Venison for Sensitive Stomachs for a few days, and yesterday I added some pumpkin to his dinner and then breakfast today. I noticed an immediate improvement last night and again today. I think his problem is poultry so I am going to stick with...

    Help! What food should I switch to? Dog develoepd problems

    I have not changed foods. I was adding the Blue Buffallo Basic Grain Free to make a slow change since he wasn't doing so well on the Nutro Venison. It seems to have just made things worse. BTW, he does not seem in any great distress. He is not gassy or having acidents. His stools are just...

    Help! What food should I switch to? Dog develoepd problems

    Now what What single protein food did you use? I am at my wits end? I thought he was doing better adding Blue Buffalo Basic grain free (turkey base) to the Nutro Venison for sensitive tummies but nope...I think I have to avoid protein and am not sure I have to avoid grains. I am ordering some...

    Help! What food should I switch to? Dog develoepd problems

    I thought I did take your advice--or at least some of it. I skipped his dinner (doesn't that equal 24 hours?), then fed lightly in the morning. Its hard not to give any food becuase he takes medication in the morning and I didn't want him to throw it up on a totally empty stomach. He didn't poop...

    Help! What food should I switch to? Dog develoepd problems

    I see that Nutro isn't exactly the highest rated food. I picked it because of the limited meat ingredients. It also came in a small bag and the feed store I was in had mostly the huge bags. TOTW Venison seems to still have chicken in it but I will double check. I didn't feed him last night, this...

    could be IBS Yes, it could be IBS out of nowhere. I switched him to Nutro Venison and Sweet Potato last night. I didn't transition since he was a disaster on the TOTW Salmon sea select stuff. Results not good today but I am not surprised. I am tempted to give him some diarhea medicine just...

    wow costco That is good to know about Costco as I have been a member in the past at least. The TOTW Salmon didn't work out so I am trying a Venison an Sweet Potato food (Nutro) now. But, we will see. Its good to know there are less expensive ways to get quality dog food and if this Venison...

I am one of those people who will do anything for my dog but my finances are pathetically low right now (disabled, widowed, single mom---WE wil be on food stamps soon).

    Help! What food should I switch to? Dog develoepd problems

    I can increase his prozac dosage again though it does not seem anxiety related (he is always anxious and actually less anxious in our new palce as it is smaller adn he gets mroe walks). I can get Earthwise delivered and may have even seen it at a store. This TOTW salmon experiment is a failure.

    one other option I don't seem to find Victor's anywhere...even through the home delivery companies. The only other cost effectvie brand I found is Premium Edge Adult Dog Skin & Coat Salmon, Potatoes & Vegetables Formula . I know nothing about this company. Its a little less expensive than TOTW...

    Not sure if we are making progress Some things got better after the antibiotic and change of food. He was pooping yellow mush and now at least it is brown. Some is soft but formed, some not formed. He has bad gas too. I expect some of the problem is the change in food (it was more sudden than...

    :rolleyes:I have fed Canidae All Life Stages for 15 years, starting with a dog who couldn't eat corn, wheat or soy. One of my little dogs lived to 17 1/2, and the senstive tummy dog (Shepard mix) made it to 15 1/2 on Canidae. I now have a 4 year old medium 44 pound black lab mix who can eat...

    What a horrid experience. I had somethng similar hapen when I was a first ttime dog owner and brought my 6 month old rescued Italian Greyhound (all 12 pounds of him) to a class where they required a choke collar on all the dogs. I have since learned you never use a choke on a greyhound or other...

    Advice on how to train out of control 10 month old rescue

    The link to clicker training was really helpful. We have lots of work to do. Larry sits when he is scared so if cliick when he sits I don't know if I am teaching sit or reinforcing his fear behavior. I think he would be terrified in a class now---more from the peole than the dogs. He plays...
