Need help with kibble.... - YorkieTalk.com Forums

Long story short......

Moose was on Innova since he was a puppy. His poo had most of the time been sort of loose. I switched him over to Canidae ALF and wow, nice firm poo. But after a month or so...I noticed Moose had intense itching.

I just switched him to California Natural Lamb and Rice. (over a two week period) He has been on straight CN for 3 days now and his poo has been loose again for the past couple of days.

I know that Innova and California Natural are made by the same company, so it makes me wonder about loose poo with Innova and CN being releated.

I also heard that lamb might be too rich for some!?

Can anyone give me any advice??? Please......

hmm. does CN have a fish formula??? or an allergy formula? If not i'd swtich to Natural Balance. they have allergy formulas with rare protein sources.

maybe try the herring (That's fish right?) fish tends to be easier on them allergy wise. And the poop could just be adjusting to new food. Stay clear of anything with chicken in it .

moosie's mom · 11-20-2008, 07:26 PM

That is what I thought about the chicken.

Herring is fish, but I read where someone posted that the sweet potato and herring STUNK very bad! LOL, so I was afraid to try that one.

Maybe I should try the herring & sweet potato.

If you want to stay with CN do that- otherwise switch to NB. All you can do is give it a shot and see how he does. Poor Mr. Moosie.

LOL....good question!! I read where someone posted that the "food" stunk really bad then made their pups breath stink. It wasn't Calfiornia Natuarl brand it was another brand. It might have been a Natural Balance one.

well if you ask me- the smellier the food the happier i would be because it smells "real". Are you buying your food from a store that allows you to bring it back?

Brodi mom · 11-21-2008, 07:40 AM

I too have been through alot of different food and the one i found is the best for my girls is Eagle Pack Chicken and rice ..No more itching or chewing feet.. I love it... good luck.

sometimes the fiber in the dog food can change all that stuff as well.
