I agree that it does come down to the individual dog's constitution. Just like in humans. While many kinds of fish are considered healthy eating, I'm allergic to all seafood and shellfish and have to be extremely careful. While George is lactose intolerant and I could drink milk all day long and be perfectly fine.
Once again, thank you everyone for sharing all this info. It's great to be able to ask a question and get so much help from people who genuinely care about these little dogs! |
Jackson had a ton of tears on Wellness Super5Mix (w/ grains) and Fromm Surf and Turf (w/o grains). I'm almost positive the food was the culprit because I did a little 'test' and would feed Fromm for a few weeks, and then take him off of it and within a week, the tearing would be good. Then I'd put him back on it, and the tearing would eventually come back pretty bad again! But who knows. Part of it could be environmental as well. Jackson's eyes tear when it's windy outside sometimes, I guess just like humans.
