May I ask why you're switching? Innova is an excellent food as well. Are you just wanting to try a rotation diet? |
Well, I started doing a rotation diet between NV raw and the Innova about a month ago. He had been on the Innova for about 6 months along with homecooked patties that I decided against doing anymore because I wasn't balancing the nutrients in them and I think it was causing a pH imbalance in his urine. He had been on the homemade patties for about a year. (he used to eat Canidae) He was having bad gas on the rotation diet. Now to be honest, he has had occasional gas for awhile, but it got worse with the raw. I can't exactly place when the occasional gas started, I can't remember if it was at the same time that he started the Innova or homemade patties or what. And, not to be gross, but his gas really smells of garlic. There was garlic in his homemade patties and there is garlic in the Innova, so that is why I am switching. The Instinct and the Innova seem to be very similar except for the garlic, so I am going to try this first and go from here to figure it out. (With Ann's help I decided to go this way!! Thanks Ann!) So it is a process of elimination. Once I figure it out, I will try to go back and add the raw again. I have also put him on digestive enzymes and probiotics. We will see......
So I just wanted to see what people think of the Instinct, like I said, I am pretty impressed with what I have read on the label. But of course, they want you to buy it!!! LOL
