WELLNESS FOOD OPINIONS please!!!!

[bildio]

I switched to Wellness about 6 weeks ago. No change in poop. This is one food he sure eats all up.

Are you feeding the amount recommended on the package?

We have not had any issues with the Wellness puppy or the small breed adult formula.

I just switched LuLu to Wellness (puppy) and she LOVES it. I haven't noticed any change in her stools yet, but it is a little early.

I use Wellness and it works great for mine. No extra poop and not extra smelly

I know I had posted previously stating Molly's poop was soft; somewhat resembling a Dairy Queen ice cream complete with the curl! Anyway, it's been about a week or so since I posted on this subject, and since then her poop has finally become both more formed and of a firmer consistency. In other words, a normal poop. Finally, thank God. I'm assuming that it was the combination of changing her from the food that the breeder had been feeding her- Diamond small puppy. The first poop she did upon arriving home that 1st evening was so bad I practically swooned! And, it wasn't even all evacuated yet from her bowels. I never smelled anything like it. It almost beat that horrendous smell that all moms know and fear: that sick sh*t smell when their child is sick and has diarrhea.
Anyway after reading various sites on the internet, I discovered that Diamond makes food for various stores and under various labels. Including Chicken Soup that others on here use. Not to start anything, but after reading about various recalls due to salmonella being tested in their foods, I for one would never use their food. They are also co-distributors for other companies as well. I found out about this after putting in "what is in dog food?" on Google. As I said, after reading that, I myself would never buy any Diamond product for Molly.
Now, hearing about the buying and selling of the majority of Old Mother Hubbard/Wellness stocks, I feel shocked (although I guess I shouldn't be in these economic times when anything can happen) , dismayed and worried if the quality of the food will change and as a result go down in quality. I guess only time will tell.
I hate the idea of having to go through a food change for my animals. I don't think that it's good switching them around if you really don't have to. As long as it's a good quality food and they're doing well on it, then of course leave well enough alone. I really believe that the old motto applies here: "If it ain't broke, then don't fix it." ~sigh~

the only time it has every been very stinky or more poops then once or twice has been when i mixed wellness wet with his dry food.

Franklin and Maggie are on Wellness Core and their poops are completely fine! They go twice a day and it's not any stinkier than poop should be. I mean, it IS poop after all!

So true...poo smells. That is a fact of life.

However, another fact is...the more softer and watery the poop...the stronger the smell and the harder it is to clean up.

My 5 ALL experienced mushy smelly poo's on this food that was hard to clean up. Yuck!!
