Meat-Based Pet Food – Premium Dog Food, Cat Food, Ferret Food, Dog Treats – EVO Pet Products

Natures Variety - Instinct Duck Meal & Turkey Meal Formula
Instinct: Duck Meal & Turkey Meal Formula: Grain-Free Kibble for Dogs | Nature's Variety

These two were given at the same time as she doesn't like eating the same food for too long.

And she has presently been on Holistic Select Small & Mini Breed Radiant Adult Health
Holistic Select - Small & Mini Breed Radiant Adult Health - Anchovy, Sardine & Chicken Meals Recipe

Before that she had been on Wellness Small bites.
After thinking back to even when she was a puppy, I know she has always vomited but we had always thought it was because she didn't eat. Do think it is possible that the food had always made her vomit and she was not eating because she was nauseous which in turn lead to vomiting? Also is it possible that IBD can get worse or do you think that she is just reacting more to the food that she is on now?
I think your answer here is poultry - duck, chicken meal, chicken, turkey so you may want to give natural balance venison and sweet potato a shot or the lamb and rice formula AVA is on as that is working for her - my ibd dog is on a hydrolized soy diet purina ha as he almost died of pancreatitis as he has ibd of small intestines thus triggering the pancreas if it gets bad enough.

My internal medicine specialist says many ibd dogs cannot tolerate chicken but dex does not have a prob with it so this may be the issue.

also keep in mind if a dog stops eating a food many times that is a sign the food is making them feel ill not so much they are tired of it so keep that in mind since this has been an ongoing issue
