My 65 lb, 7 1/2 year old lab/springer mix dog has been having gas issues for quite some time.

I switched from Iams (which he had been on for the first 5 1/2 year of his life) to Nutro then after reading about Nutro I have been on an endless quest of trying to find a food that does not give him GAS!!!

I have tried TOTW, Fromm, Earthborn Holisitic, Canidae, and now finally Natural balance, first tried the lamb and rice formula and now the duck and potato....still has gas but I am going to give it a couple of weeks before I change him again.

He had a complete checkup earlier this week, including shots, fecal sample, blood work and physical exam, all of which came back A-OK!!!!

The Vet suggested Iams Premium Protection or SD I/D for him but I hesitate because of the ingredients. The first ingredients in Iams PP are: Chicken By-Product Meal (Natural source of Chondroitin Sulfate and Glucosamine), Corn Meal, Ground Whole Grain Sorghum, Ground Whole Grain Barley, Chicken.

My Lucy (yorkie) is currently on SD L/D and since being on that her eye boogers are really bad. Her eye boogers were almost non existent when she was on Fromm.

I will do what is best for him and I want him to be happy and comfortable, my main concern here is that he is feeling good (not so much the smell) and with gas like that he can't be feeling all that good.

I will switch him if I have to but I just wondered if anyone else has used the Iams PP yet and what you think?!

Any other suggestions are welcome too!!

Thanks in advance!!!
