Max seems to have a barley allergy (if that is possible). When I try feeding him a food with barley he starts chewing on his feet more. That is the only common ingredient (besides brown rice) that the Innova and Wellness have in common that the NB Potato & Duck did not. He did not chew his feet while on the old NB.
He also is not chewing his feet on the Acana (which he loves but is putting on wt. while on it).
I wonder why they would eat more on the new NM P&D formula? Less duck and more potato?
But then the protein level would have gone down if less duck.
I hope the new formula has enough protein.
