Good Morning Everyone,

After all of my crazy debate in my head about the right food it ended up that Tucker had a terrible time with Earthborn Meadow Feast. Loose stool and smelled horrible!!! Poor little guy was doing the squat walk all over 🙁 Fed small quantities too. If it was that upsetting to him I figured we should abort. After a few days on the old he was back to normal.

We switched to Dr. Tim’s Kinesis ALS grain inclusive. He seems to be handling that perfectly! His poops are actually looking better in the transition than when just on the IAMS. Thank God 🙂

I noticed that the calcium level is lower than most at .97, but the phosphorus is also at .71. I’m not wonderful at math, but I’m guessing when you bump the ratio up calculating based on Phosphorus of 1 it gets it closer to the ideal 1.2:1? Tuck has Trauma induced OCD in his shoulder so I want to be safe with my levels for the best possible healing.

As far as toppers… Is there a list similar to the food list as far as what is good, how much, etc. So far we alternate… little scoop of pumpkin, 1/2 hardboiled egg, coconut oil once a week, dehydrated sprinkles on top, PetKind canned topper… One thing a week basically and just a little bit…

Thanks for the help as always…
