Need advice on dry kibble...
I am having a **** of a time finding a dry kibble to feed my 10 month male GSD. I feed raw but like to keep him diversified for travel, with kibble.
Orijin, BBuffalo, Fromm, TOTW and a locally sourced brand worked for a couple months, then gastro issues arose. I'm wondering, if a rotation w/ phasing in and out would work? The vet tech in me is in digestive overdrive. What have you and your GSDs had luck with? THANK you! K & E 'Woof' ^..^ Sent from my iPhone using Petguide.com Free App |

There is a new food out, its called I and Love and You............. It is dehydrated raw, you add two cups water to one cup food. A few different varities, treats, etc. Made by a company in Boulder Colorado. Have tried some of the treat, love them. Haven't tried the food yet, still feeding Merrick

My GSD had food allergies and digestive upsets too. I finally found that she did best on grain-free fish based kibble. Orijen was a little too rich for her, but we did Acana, Wellness, TOTW - only the fish based varieties.

Notice your from Wisconsin! Im in IL, and feed my dog a food based out of Wisconsin, NutriLife Gold (the grain free fish formula). Berlin hasnt tolerated many other foods well, but this one is working marvelously so far!

Need advice on dry kibble...
I've just purchased my 2nd bag of the grain free, fish formula NutriLife, they are doing really well on it.
Weird thing is he's gone to the bathroom a few times inside since switching this time??? And not loose poops either. He NEVER does his business inside, must be adjusting... Stinky poo-poo's. ^..^ Sent from my iPhone using Petguide.com Free App |

It is possible he could still be adjusting. It depends how long he has been on the new food and if the problem is still continuing. Though to break housetraining - to me that does show that the food isn't agreeing with him - too rich - too much bulk - so he has to go more often. If I were you and he is still having accidents inside - I would take him off the food. If the raw diet agreed with him, I would keep him on that and try the dehydrated raw food that Wyoming Grandma recommended for travel. The switching back and forth between raw and kibble, I think that could cause digestive problems. If raw isn't working out for you, then stick to a kibble. For this kibble, it could be the fish or even the type of fish, or another ingredient. A lamb grain free kibble may work out better, there are several - I can recommend Solid Gold Hund & Flocken. Though your dog might do well on the Solid Gold Wolfking - that has salmon and bison.
