He ate/eats Nature's Variety Instinct since the first week of September and did wonderful on it. It's grain-free and his poops were generally firm and small. A bit smelly, but not TOO bad. I mean, it IS poop, right?  We decided to rotate between the NV and now Fromm Surf n' Turf (both grain-free) so he's been eating Fromm since the first week of December. His poops actually seem LESS smelly on Fromm than on NV and the poops are always hard (but not too hard) and firm. He literally has no gas that I ever remember on either of these foods. He typically poops 2x a day - morning and after dinner but occasionally will poop mid-day solely depending on what he eats though.
I have fed Wellness in the past (both Super5Mix and CORE) and even though Jackson liked the taste... I wasn't big on the eye boogers he got on it. I don't know 100% if it was the food but once he switched off Wellness, the eye boogers virtually disappeared. His poops were a bit more runny and he seemed to poop more often on it.
I find that the grain-free foods seem to work best for Jackson.  I keep his treats fairly consistent too and always use the same training rewards. |
Great! I'll look into the Fromm...less smelly poop is a great starting point!
I'm pretty excited, I just found something at Babies R Us that I can use to "diaper" him while I'm waiting for FED EX. He's not happy...but my walls and furniture are.
