If I were you, I'd switch to the CalNat chicken/rice puppy formula. Way more appropriate for a LBP/GBP. Plus who knows- maybe the very high protein content has been what's throwing him off. As a general rule I believe more protein = better, bet every dog is different. It could be that he just can't handle it.
What did the breeder have him on? |  |  | |  |

| | Barked: Wed Feb 8, '12 9:30am PST | | | | | Hmm, the fact that he's not really motivated by food also point to perhaps overfeeding or him feeling full a lot? How many cups per day does he get? My guys never did well on Cal Nat, we put Tanuk on that as a pup too, but he had loose stools. Dunno why. Though as a rule the Nordic breeds seem to do better with lower protein levels, not sure about Saints. | | | | |
