Yes Doc had giardia and a bladder infection – I think we did three rounds of antibiotics to get rid of it and when he tested negative he still had diahrea which is when I put him on the royal canin GSD – it was a stressful time. He comes from an impressive blood line and is truly a gorgeous dog. I’m reluctant to change foods but feel the royal canin is too expensive – I have a lab/collie mix who is on royal canin satiety because she was a fatty patty and she’s done great on it – I like royal canin for their prescription food. Doc is my first large breed dog and I know GSD tend to have sensitive tummies which is why I’m nervous about switching – royal canin GSD claims to have things in the food designed to be easy to digest and help with the sensitive stomach issue. Shortly after we got Doc we lost my boston terrier Bugsy – it was the worst time of my life – I had him for 14 years and in his last three years he had to have an eye removed and then suffered two major strokes which required hand feeding him and teaching him how to walk again – his head was permanently crooked – he was the sweetest most loving perfect dog ever – I tell you all of this to say Doc – which I was reluctant about getting but my husband wanted – helped me and my 12 year old son get through the roughest time and has brought us so much joy that I want the very best for him. I don’t like the idea of feeding human food – don’t think it’s really safe for us 🙂 and I don’t want to rotate because of stomach issues – I’m really thinking of fromm right now.
