Wish Us Luck...

So, Flash has had many digestive issues since he's been here in September. All sorts of trials, probiotics, etc. Determined lamb is too rich for him; salmon & sweetpotato by Diamond [at Costco] showed some improvement but ultimately too rich I think. Settled on Kirkland Chicken...

Gracie also has digestive problems. Massive antibiotics for an infection she had plus probiotics helped marginally. Her continual plant/foliage/shrubbery eating + the poo eating = she's lacking something in her diet. I started her on vitamin supplement in her food this week - but I'm suspect that it may be giving her the horrid runny poo/diarrhea she has now.

Now to be fair, I've fed super high premium dog foods before [AvoDerm, Canidae, etc] until my dogs went from 2 to 5. When I had 5 adult *performance* greyhounds in my house that ate through 2.5 bags [at 40lbs each] per month - $50+ per bag would've been insane. Kirkland was a great choice & my dogs did great on it for years. They were also supplemented by raw food with their kibbles.

So...It came down to a choice between Go! grain free and Taste of the Wild. I went with the bison Taste of the Wild. Hopefully the meat will be nice & neutral - not too rich - for Flash. Hopefully it will provide plenty of vitamins for Gracie. Maybe the extreme gas will stop too.

Yes, it's much higher in protein than Kirkland, so hopefully it won't be too rich...but wish us luck...I bought a small bag tonight & mixed it in with the Kirkland...
