| Fromm Grain Free (small kibble help) Goobers? Starting feeding the boys Fromm Surf n Turf Grain Free after the Fromm Salmon a la Veg bag. Now Mickey and Max are having bad eye goobers they did not have on the Salmon a la Veg. Why would they have those on grain free and not the grain inclusive one?? Not sure which flavor to get after this bag or before this bag is gone. They had a little bit of eye goobers on Salmon but not like the Surf. Any ideas what to try or another food that does not cause your babies eye goobers?

| Maybe I'll order a bag from Chewy. Which flavors have u tried and he likes? Is the protein and fat level ok?

| I wouldn't immediately blame food ... the weather here has caused Jax some extra eye goobers, and he's been on the same formula of Fromm (Game Bird) all month and they JUST started this week in the cold weather.

| That's weird. I noticed Calvin had bad eye boogies when he was eating the Fromm Salmon A la Veg, but after we switched to Canine Caviar Wilderness they are almost gone. I figured it was from the grains, but I'm not sure. |

| Or, why not try the Salmon a la Veg again and see if they go away? If they do, I'd assume it IS the Surf and Turf.

| I hope it is not the Fromm. So far they love both the flavors we have tried. The weather has gotten colder but why would that give them eye goobers? It seems tied to when I started the Surf/Turf about 2 weeks ago. When started transition got to 2/3 Surf and 1/3 Salmon a la Veg is when goobers started.

| Just go back to salmon a la veg. If eye goop goes away, you'll know it's the S&T formula. It's been windier, so whenever we go outside, Jackson comes back with a bit more eye boogers than usual. The cold often makes my eyes water a bit too.

| my dogs all eat fromm grain free. since i switched them to fromm from blue buffalo my shih tzu has no more problems with excessive tearing.. maybe there is something in that particular formula that does not agree with them... if they had no problem with the previous formula just switch back to that.... |

| Surf n turf has 4 different protein sources(including chicken)- the salmon ala veg only one, salmon.We tried the tunalini and they loved it. My three do great when I stick to a one protein (fish) food-except for the fishy burps |

| Maybe you can return the unused Surf & Turf food and exchange for a different formula. If the store can't help you, contact Fromm. If you give them all the information from the bag and possibly a copy of the receipt they will give you a voucher for a free bag of food.

| Can anyone tell me if the Salmon a la Veg is a very fishy smelling kibble? Like, does it give them fish breath, or is it extremely smelly? Same question for Surf and Turf and Salmon Tulanni. We fed a bag of Surf and Turf a long time ago. Probably when he was around one year old. And I just don't remember! We're almost done with the Chicken a la Veg bag, and my dads dogs need some new food too so I was going to place an order on Chewy. I'm thinking I'll try him next on Salmon a la Veg.
