I recently switched foods from California Natural Lamb and Rice to Natural Balance. While using the CN their stools were firm and they only went twice a day. Now that they are on NB their stools are soft, loose and they go several times a day. I also home cook veggies with either chicken or beef and I put that over their dry food...when I was only giving them the home cooked food their stools were firm and they only went twice a day but when it's put over the NB dry food everything changes and we're cleaning up all day long.
My goal here is to find a quality dry food that does not contain Rosemary, ethoxyquin, BHA, MSG or BHT in any forms. I enjoy home cooking and it isn't really hard to do but I need a dry food for them so if we're gone or they have to be boarded they can eat something they are used to.
I know Life's Abundance is supposed to be good but I haven't really heard from anyone who just uses it and doesn't sell it.
Can someone give me a little help here? I'm tired of changing things and I'm really tired of reading and comparing labels only to find that my dogs aren't really getting all the nutrition promised because they're pooping all day!
What about Canidae, Wellness or the other premium foods...how is their stool with these? What about their skin and coat? CN is supposed to be for their coat and skin but honestly, I wasn't impressed.
