 | | Barked: Fri Nov 6, '09 7:18am PST | |  | |  | | Thanks Brodie! That's cool!
LOL! Thanks Sherpa!   We've tried NL venison, lamb and beef, Acana Lamb and Fish, Orijen Red, Canidae Salmon GF, is there are more I can't remember, lol!!!
I started them back on Acana Lamb yesterday, I just like that food for some reason, and I can't remember why I took them off of it? I think I thought sweet potatoes were bugging them? Buddy's poops are now GREAT in one day! Sadie still has HS's and I THANK her for pooping in the wood chips, MUCH easier pickup!   (But, Buddy pooped at 12pm AND 2 am!) Getting used to the food I hope!
Dieta the GSD says that females have much more sensitive stomachs than males, so I will stick with it another week and see what happens. I would love it if I could rotate the Fish, Lamb and Chicken grain free (if they aren't allergic to chicken!) And these are finicky GSDs, so they would never eat alot of anything, unless it was home cooked of course 
I read the Orijen testimonials on their site last night, about cats AND dogs, and they were the most amazing testimonials I've ever read!!!  Edited by author Fri Nov 6, '09 7:21am PST

 | | Barked: Fri Nov 6, '09 8:48am PST | | | | | | Meant to ask, since they do have sensitive tummies, have you tried adding probiotic to their meals? It might be beneficial to add it long term to get their tummies in tip top shape. Also, what's the longest you've left them on one food? I know it's hard if they don't seem to be adjusting, but it might be worth sticking with one food for a few months to see if they adjust. | | | | |

| | Barked: Fri Nov 6, '09 5:13pm PST | | | | | | We tried canned awhile back, and Tucker gave me great advice about mixing it in with my hand....but they licked the wet food off of the dry! The best was when they dropped it on the floor, nice and messy!
Maybe one of those beef flavored powders would help, thanks! | | | | |

| | Barked: Fri Nov 6, '09 7:21pm PST | | | | | | Left out: yes, I've tried yogurt, but they don't like it sometimes, and again I throw the food out. Whenever I add a topper, they prefer that to the kibble, which is a bummer, because they could have both!!! Finicky!!! | | | | |

| | Barked: Fri Nov 6, '09 7:44pm PST | | | | | | It seems like you switch their foods way too much, you should just pick one food and feed it for couple months to see how they do on it, then add 1-2 more into the rotation. It takes a while for the bacteria in the stomach to adjust to different types of food, which can cause disturbance and digestive issues and poo issues. | | | | |

You get nervous and think, THEY AREN'T EATING!!! Haven't we all felt that! 
and then I'd like to try the reformulated Grasslands with SP moved lower down the list. If their allergy tests come back with chicken being alright, I want to try Prairie Harvest, too (by the summer, of course)
