Hi Everyone,
I am hoping for some advice for my 8 month old Berner pup. She is a very happy healthy pup other than we have been battling spouts of diarrhea or soft poops every now and then. I would say that we have always been struggling with this since we got her at 8 weeks. We originally had been feeding her the Royal Canin – Developmental Food until she one day went completely off of the food. I also want to add that we have had several spells of diarrhea attacks where she had been prescribed tylosin to help clear it up and it worked. I tried a bunch of different foods and finally found a food that she likes (Performatrin Ultra – Foothills Recipe) which is a mix of beef/pork/venison. She has been on the Performatrin since August and has been doing well. There had been the occasional times where she would have softer, more greasy poops. End of September she started to develop a bit of redness around her muzzle and most recently some licking and chewing on her paws. I think sometimes she has a “flare up” and the redness is more pronounced around her face. I have been wanting to get her off the beef and pork mix because some people had mentioned that it may be an allergy to the beef. I want to try a limited ingredient food but with so many options I am really confused. I have seen a vet about this and the vet wanted to put her on Royal Canin Gastrointestinal Food, I am hesitant because I haven’t heard the best review about what they put in it. Anyone else have an experience like this? Any suggestion on limited brands and what proteins have worked for you?
Thanks in advance!
