First off, thank you both for your speedy replies! I very much appreciate it!

Yes, I did do the elimination diet with the chicken, I was actually semi forced into it. I have not done an elimination diet with the fish but he reacted so violently to being on a fish based diet that Iâm too scared to try. He went on the fish after we got suspicious of the chicken diet he was on causing some ear problems. When he reacted to the fish diet (wonderful nasty bout of IBD) I put him on chicken and potatoes for an extended person of time while we were trying to correct the IBD issues. Sure enough, within a few weeks of being back on chicken his ear problems came back full force. Boo.
The PURE is similar in nutrient profile as to what I have him in right now and itâs just not enough for him. There are a few Earthborn formulas Iâve been keeping in mind and I have been eyeballing the some Wellness Core Raw Rev formulas too.

Yes! I have been eyeballing the Venture Rabbit Formula but given that itâs kind of on the low end of what Iâm looking for I was waiting too see what else there might be available that Iâve miss before I made and for sure decisions. However, I am curious about where Squid formula. Iâm definitely going to have to mention that one to his vet. I know itâs not technically âfishâ but since his reaction to being on a fish based food was so violent I want to be extra sure that his vet doesnât think something like squid would be âclose enoughâ to be a concern, especially given that squids have a diet that tends to consist of various types of fish.
