| Great Dane and Wellness I switched both dogs to Wellness Super5Mix because it was easier to get and it is a good food, right? Well, my Great Dane now has gas SO BAD it smells like there are piles of poop everywhere. She has been on the full mixture for about 2 days now. Before when I was still mixing her Innova with the Wellness I didn't notice the gas. It is horrible. I kicked her out of the bedroom last night because I was tired of the smell. Should I give it more time, switch her back to Innova completely, or just mix the two to give her variety? Right now she is 104-105 pounds (kinda small for her size of 34" at the shoulders) and goes through about 30 pounds every 4-6 weeks. If I mixed the two I would spend around $99 every time I needed more food for her but it would last anywhere from 2 1/2-3 months. Oh, I forgot to add, I have her on the regular Adult Complete Health. Should I try the Whitefish & Sweet Potato Recipe?

| My vet told me wellness is higher in fat so it can cause diarrhea in some dogs Maybe you need to try something else- Many dogs can't handle it and get the runs or gas |

| Thanks! I had my husband stop and get her some more Innova and we fed her that yesterday afternoon and last night (yes, we are bad, we did not slowly change back to it). She did not have the bad gas all night like she was. Now I am worried about Piper. I was going to switch her to Wellness puppy but I have enough Innova to mix the two bags for a while and see how she does with it.
