i would stick to the wellness as chicken can be bad for ibd dogs as well as allergy dogs

Thanks for that Deb. I was wondering about the potato protein & fiber but thought it would be the sweet potato. I'm assuming that sweet potato is ok & only white potato should be avoided? Momo has been on this food for over a year & is doing great on it. He'll occasionally have those thin stringy poos when he eats something he's not supposed to or from certain treats.

yeah sweet potato is from a different night shade family than white so it is actually anti-inflammatory - stay away from the treats as that is where your prob is most likely and treat with the kibble mine do not know the difference

i didn't know sweet potato was so good. i think i am going back to a natural balance lid sweet potato formula.

this is really gross , but Romeo had a poop "hanger" today. There was one of my long human hairs stuck in his poop and it was hanging from his anus....do you think this could be his poopy issue? Could he have a build up of human hair inside him? I never see him eat my hair , but sometimes he does have them in his poo.

no this is normal as they lick the floor etc so it happens but no this would not cause this issue
