Hi brain be careful with the Earthborn Weight Control, I looked at it the other day, the fiber was 9% fiber, see when it’s a weight loss kibble the fat% is lower but they put more fiber so the dog stays fuller for longer, I’m pretty sure the fiber in the Royal Canine gastro low fat, is only 1.70% like the Eukanuba Intestinal….Can you get the Eukanuba Intestinal, not the Intestinal Plus, just the Intestinal…. Its a low residue kibble, it breaks down real easy, so easy to digest, the fiber is low at 1.70% the same as the R/C gastro, low fat & the fat is 10% fat, its cheaper then Royal Canine in Australia & the ingredients are better….when looking for another food always try & stay around the same % fat fiber & protein as the Vet diet kibble that shes doing good on, that way you will have less problems also have you tried an enzyme to help with the digestion & to harden the poos, a few ladies from a Face Book group called “Dogs With Inflammatory Bowel Disorder”

use enzymes & their dogs are doing nice firm poos now, just remember if you start the enzymes, start the new food first see how she’s doing on the new food then add enzymes if poo soft or sloppy diarrhea, if you can stay with just one diet as changing & rotating doesn’t work with dogs with IBD can make everything worse & flares start to happening…theres a few good commercial foods on the F/B site in the files, the lady Heather that runs the group is also from Canada….
