Have a bag of Nature's Variety Prairie Chicken and TOTW Sierra (both unopened).
Was going to get a bag of SD Ideal Balance and sales clerk ran over and told me SD is bad food and to get the NV. |
I'm sorry I feel for you, it was so hard to find a food that Joey liked and did well on. Of course, the reviews even confused things more. I don't think a food should give a dog gas, I mean if a food has more fiber than a dog is use to, it might take a week or so to get use to the added fiber and this could cause gas, but if it's going on longer than that, I'd find another food. Gas is a sign that they are not digesting the food, for whatever reason. Large piles of poop aren't a good sign either, I think there might be too much indigestible fiber in the food. I mean, are they getting enough nourishment, if they can't digest so much of it? Poop is basically what our bodies can't digest and don't need, a little fiber is good, it keeps the intestinal tract in good order, after all, we don’t want our dogs pooping pellets, but it may be too much of a good thing.
