Hi,

I have been reading alot about diet here on this forum. My 10 month old has been on Wellness Puppy with very loose stools and foul smelling gas so we switched him to the adult thinking maybe the puppy food was too rich for him. Same results with the Wellness Adult for Small Breed. I did much research and found other dog owners who have the same problems while on Wellness, especially since Wellness changed its packaging. Apparently new owners and mass marketing to large pet stores maybe at the cause of this. Loose stools, vomitting, diarrhea, etc.
I found a site that maybe helpful for all here.
It is "dogfoodanalysis.com"
It lists all the dog foods and rates them from 1 to 6 stars.
I found going to the FAQ and clicking to "why can't I find my dog food", then click on the index and you get a list of all the dog foods.
Although Wellness rates 5 stars I will take my baby off the food. I have done alot of research and I have found that Orijen (Dry) (rated 6 stars) is quite good. They believe that any dog food with grains in it can affect the dog's health.
We are going to try it and see.
If you can post this as a new thread under "dogfoodanalysis.com" it may be helpful to others to check out the different brands.

Thanks
