So I went to pick up some food for my Baxter today. He's on the Sweet Potato and Venison from Natural Balance due to a skin condition that makes him itch till he bleeds.

So i open the bag and the color of the kibble is notably lighter and the kibbles are slightly bigger in size. So I hit the forums to find out what the deal is.

Turns out Natural Balance has changed its formula by introducing more additives and has not warned anyone. I have been reading that dogs with sensitive stomachs could be prone to vommiting. This apparently was even stated by Natural Balance in a response email to a customer. It was said that a small percentage of dogs will have to be adjusted to the new formula by making feedings small and more frequent.

Wondering if I should risk it and see if Baxter will do ok on it or get something else.
