Has Wellness changed?

[StellaSquash]

Riley has had off and on diarrhea for the past month or two and it seems to coincide with new bag of food. I buy the Wellness adult lamb and rice Super 5 Mix. trouble started when I opened a new bag... she had horrible diarrhea for two weeks. Vet bills, tons of testing and finally I realized the food was to blame. she'd get straight on chicken/rice then start all over again when switched back to her kibble.

I'm not sure if it's because of WHERE I'm buying (feed and lumber store seems to carry the ok bags that don't bother her, pet smart and tractor supply bags seems to cause trouble) or if it's just a fluke and they've changed their formula?

any idea? at this point I'm not sure what to do. I had hoped to change her to raw but my husband is not at all on board with that. (let's not discuss the irony of how kibble is causing her so much trouble and he thinks raw chicken bones are going to kill her )

advice? I'm afraid to switch her to something else because she's already got a sensitive stomach and switching her to something new is a VERY slow and tedious process. She cannot handle lots of protein. (the orijen experiment was a disaster)

I've tried to get her on TOTW but even mixing small amounts in her food caused diarrhea when I cut her regular mix back more and added more TOTW.

I'm just wondering if Wellness has made changes and it's just not going to work for her anymore. If anyone has suggestions on what to do, I'm all ears. I'm heading out now for chicken and rice. I feed my other dog 4Health and since Riley swipes mouthfuls of that occasionally, I may just put her on that once I get her stomach straight.

I switched from TOTW to Wellness for the same reason.
Harley started getting loose stools and Annie wouldn't touch it. I also had to call TOTW twice because the canned food was mislabeled. (I was getting Salmon in the High Prairie cans instead of what should have been in there)

Are you sure it isn't the swipped mouthfuls of 4Health that are causing the issues?

no, she's been swiping since she was a puppy. and lately she hasn't had any since he's been cleaning his bowl.

OK gotcha.

well I got her back to normal with boiled chicken and just started giving her Tuckers 4 Health. She's FINE and her poo poo is solid.

I'm taking that wellness bag back to petsmart and I will not be buying it again. no idea what's going on, but I've had enough of the diarrhea parties.
