I'm using total-zymes and total-biotics.

NWC Naturals® Pet Products | Best Probiotics | Probiotics For Dogs | Supplments

Works pretty well, but I'll be switching to Carmen's product when it gets here.

What is Carmen's product?

Ok, my current is in a jar and its the Naturvet - not so sure; I liked the prozyme better Carmen adds flax (and I think prozyme) to her feed-sentials product which rules out Grim.

How high is the fat content in the two foods? That can sometimes be the culprit in loose stools.

Another reason for d-zymes - lipase breaks down fat

Ok, going to give the enzymes a try. I'll let you know how it goes, I'm really curious to see!

I love the B-naturals site...very informative and am familiar w/all the ingr. in this product (should get for my guy)..I have Lew Olsons book (I think she owns site and b-naturals - NOT sure) - Raw & Natural Nutrition for Dogs
L-glutamine is huge in repair of the villi (sp.) responsible for filtering and uptake of nutrients.
There is caution to do with ammonia, but is also a brain amino acid, the only or one of very few things that can pass the blood brain barrier - so it is good for many things - it is abundant in raw food - guess that's why so many dogs rebound for the best in digestion when switched to raw...
