I just reviewed the kibble you're currently feeding; it's pretty good - maybe it's the rice though, some dogs are sensitive even to rice. If you want to stay in the Cal. Natural line - they do have a kibble called Herring and Sweet Potato - so you could see how he does on fish. That kibble and the Wellness are about the same quality. Both kibbles are a bit low in protein, so you could cook some whitefish and throw it in w/ the kibble.
Another thing I do, as recommended by the nutritionist, is add fiber to the diet. The best way is canned pumpkin, but for me, the easiest way is to ad a pinch of Benefiber - bc Marcel is so very small and adding in yet another food (pumpkin) was just way too much food for him. So, we do the pinch of benefiber (it's the only fiber supplement the nutritionist recommends).
Keep us posted on what happens w/ his tests. Hang in there!
