Also been experimenting (loll) w/ nature's variety medallions & ziwi peak...only Mimi & Turbo can handle it.

I guess the saying 'don't believe everything you read on the internet' applies here. I thought probiotics was a good thing too. It can be so many other things (alone or combined) in their kibble that's contributing to the soft poo @ the end. Princess has also been itching alot & both kibble has peas & flax in it, so we're def researching for another kibble. I know that THK (that doesn't have added probiotics, so that could be it too) for dinner is producing nice firm #2's so I have no worries there.

Home cooking seems to the BEST option...the only problem is that I just need to do it!

I definitely think that you cannot believe everything you read on the internet. I'm constantly amazed at how many people are so willing to follow the advice of laypeople with zero credentials or training. It's like people become sheep when they read these sites.

Home cooking really isn't as bad as people think. I have home cooked now for 12 years for dogs, and I use some kibble intermittently for convenience purposes. I started out with a much more involved approach than I use now. I am not into 50 million ingredients. I need a diet that is simple with commonly available and economically affordable ingredients.

Home cooking may be a way for you to nail down what your dogs can tolerate.
