Hey all,

I'm feeding my little Sparky the Innova EVO for adults and his breath is SO bad...not to mention, the odors coming out of the other end aren't too pretty either!!! The gas this little guy lets out in the evening would be enough to make someone roll over in their grave!! I'm guessing its due to the high protein content in the Innova EVO....

Lately, he's also had some mild diarrhea - but I'm wondering if that is from stealing food from his brother's automatic feeder (my lhasapoo had a liver shunt, successfuly surgery 11/10/09 and he gets the Royal Canin Hepatic LS 14). I think Sparky is jealous that his brother gets many meals automatically in his feeder and he's sneaking and sharing with Chewy -- so maybe the diarrhea is from eating some of his brother's food?

Anyone ever deal with their Yorkie all of a sudden having issues with his food after eating it for a good 3-4 months with no problems at all?

I'm just wondering if it is worth it to switch -- considering switching out the Innova EVO for the Royal Canin Yorkshire kibble...and maybe adding a wet food, like the Fresh Pet Select brand items....

Thoughts???
