Gizmo is on perscrption food for his stomach issues. It seems to be common in smaller dogs and dogs in general. Many of the holistic and organic dog foods have a very high fat content which can cause belly trouble in even the most well bred dog.
I know there's alot of controversy about vets selling things like Science Diet and they get kick backs from it. But, it's hard for me to reason that theory when they too feed their dog SD. On that note as well, I tried every diet for Gizmo: Raw, Orijen, NB, TOTW, Blue, and the list goes on. He has done so much better on SD then any of those foods. Little to no eye matter, poops well, and literally scarfs his food with no tummy troubles.
I'm not preeching that every owner should put their dog on RC or SD, no. But, I don't think people give it the credit that it deserves. Especially if they don't have a dog that has a sensative stomach.
I'd try the RC, be sure to give it at least 10 days. Because, like you said, you've switched this dogs system 3 times with different food, which can cause more problems if there are GI issues.
Good luck and keep us posted. |
