To Christie, I really doubt your mum’s dog has Neurological disorder. You wrote how this happen last year when she had ingested carpet fiber/runners & she couldn’t vomit them back up & needed operation to remove & then when she had the bladder problem & the vet did do test & chalked it to UTI, did the antibiotics fix the UTI probably..

Fromm kibbles have tooo MANY different ingredients & too many different proteins….
I just had a look at the Fromm Weight management formula & it has 5 different proteins, five that’s a lot especially if the dog has a sensitive stomach/bowel & then it has barley, sweet potato, cheese, oats, white rice, brown rice, pea protein, applesauce, broccoli, beans, millet, potatoes, carrots, cranberries, blueberries & the fiber is 7%, too high…my dog would not be able to eat any of the Fromm formulas too much is happening in the Fromm formulas, dogs do best on a simple kibble & you add fresh healthy foods….

Your mum needs to look for limited ingredient kibbles with 3-7 ingredients only & limited ingredient wet tin food -4% & under for the fat% if a wet tin formula & just 1 protein maybe 2 proteins but with a kibble 1 protein is best, this way there’s less ingredients to cause any stomach problems…..I would be making sure her diet is a really good quality diet… Feed the limited ingredient kibble for breakfast & a cooked meal for dinner, whatever your mum is cooking or if what your mum is cooking a meal that’s too hot or rich then open a tin of good quality dog food….
What breed is your mum’s dog & does she have anxieties?
