Yes , I ordered some NV raw medallions and some NV instinct canned .
Dh didn't want to feed raw, that's why I went with NV . I was hoping to do the rotation of kibble/canned/raw . I wanted to start with the kibble then add canned then eventually add raw after dh got a little more use to the idea
The only place local that carries NV only carries the prairie kibble formula's and limited raw. They don't carry the instinct grain free kibble or any canned. You have to order those as well as some of the raw ( not enough demand for it she said)
So since they only had prairie kibble I started with that. All went well. No big issues. They didn't love it ...but they ate it when they got hungry enough. They were pooing more but I figured that was from the food change and it would eventually even out...
So I wanted to add the NV canned to the mix. I placed my order ( they only order every two weeks) and while I was waiting I decided to just use the can of Blue buffalo Venison I had bought but never used. It was O.K./ the same for a while....then all the poo seemed to start !!
I mean Syd will literally eat , swallow , and then poo !! It's like a two minute delay from end of meal to poo !!! and it's
ALOT of poo. Syd poos out the equivalent of about two hot dogs ( sorry for the mental picture
) after each meal and she is only eating a tablespoon or so of wet food w/ 1/2 cup or so of kibble.
I really don't want to switch foods , I like the idea of the rotation diet.
So for now I am thinking I will go back to feeding just the NV dry kibble for a while and see if the pooing subsides. If it does I will add the NV canned ( instinct) ....
Then if all goes well I will start the raw medallions into the rotation .
I really want this food to work for them , but I can't take all the poo ( neither can they !)
I wish this was easy
