I talked to someone who their vet told them to give the dog Beano and it got rid of the gas.
Changing food - again

Ok the gas continues

for Dante on the grain free foods

So I'm moving to Nature's Logic in hopes that it's the potato in the other foods that is causing the gas.

We'll start the transition when I get back. I'll give him 60-90 days on this and if he still has gas.....don't even want to think about that since so many foods now have Barley in them (Canidae Lamb and Rice has added it, I expect the 'regular' ALS will follow suit soon)

I've been wanting to try that food-I am afraid to ask my food guy how much it costs.
No Beano, no immodium, no pepto, everything that needs to come out needs to come out and then we go from there!

Though I do have gas-x on hand in case of bloat.

Gayle - It's possible that he's gained an intolerance to Chicken over the years - Problem is that he can't have Barley so I am VERY limited on foods I can feed

I of course can move to one of the very different protiens like Buffalo and may up doing so if this food doesn't work for him.
He comes home from the kennel today so he'll get his first taste of it tonight.

Barb, Oddly, I can't remember all the foods Dante has tried.
Have you tried Instinct kibble? It's grainfree, but doesn't have potato (it uses tapioca as the binder instead). And you can get formulas other than chicken. Zamboni thinks quite highly of the turkey and duck formula.
(She says the canned rabbit and venison formulas are also scrumptious!

I was leaning to the Instinct but decided to move to Nature's Logic instead, it is on the list of “what if possibilities” that I hope I won’t have to use

Dante agrees with the Rabbit – That is his very favorite Columbia River Natural raw blend! My friend is thinking of bringing in whole raw “dressed” rabbits to sell, from her brother so she knows exactly what they are fed. Not sure I can do that but Dante would love it!!!

My friend that owns the pet supply store is pretty high on this food. She carried both the dog and cat food but the dog was slow moving so she quit carrying it. The cat food on the other hand is a favorite of her customers. She's thinking of bringing the dog back...if she can find a space for it

if not, she'll order it for me.
The vitamin/mineral thing makes sense to my logic brain - if you can get them from natural sources it would be better than adding synthetic which I guess is what a lot dog foods do.
I actually didn't notice the fat until I got home with it, I've always tried to keep Dante under 15% after all his poop issues - so hopefully this won't prove to be too high. Dante's used to getting less and less in his bowl

I had to cut back when I moved from Timber Wolf to Core

Ooooh!
ETA: I was just looking at Prairie's contents (again!) : barley in all formulas. Barley hates Dante.
Thanks for the tip Angela, but like 3K9Mom said, Dante is allergic to Barley

Since chicken is so common, I think a number of dogs don't do best on it. Neither of mine can tolerate it, and they can't tolerate barley either.Originally Posted By: Barb E.Gayle - It's possible that he's gained an intolerance to Chicken over the years - Problem is that he can't have Barley so I am VERY limited on foods I can feed![]()

The beano adds a digestive enzyme, and you might consider adding an enzyme product at some point. So many GSDs do have digestibility issues, and sometimes it's them. Some foods are easier to digest, but it sure is hard finding the right mix so that "everything works"!

Day 5 of the Nature's Logic

I'm moving slow, even the websites suggests it that way.
He's been getting a cup of old 1/2 cup new, this morning I moved it to cup new 1/2 cup old. We'll see how the poop stands up today and tomorrow. So far there has been no change *Insert dancing poop banana here*
I must say again how good this food smells, if something happened with my job I think I could almost eat this myself

ok, maybe not but it sure smells good!
I think if he still has gas (seems to be reducing but it's only been a few days) I'll try one of the other varieties though they also have Chicken Fat and Liver.
