Hi all first post here. Hoping you can help.
Our 14 year old lab has become not only very picky about his food. (He likes flavor) but seems to be having a few more accidents and a bit of the runs.
I was looking to change his food to Dr. Tim’s Kinesis Grain-Free Formula Dry Dog Food
Any other recommendations?
InkedMarieMemberHave you taken him to your vet? You need to rule out any medical issues for the accidents.
Cathy AMemberOf course. Medical issues ruled out.
We changed his food this summer. He just started getting picky.
The vet recommended a canned food for sensitive stomach.
I just want to know if anyone has had similar experiences and any luck with a particular line of food.theBCnutMemberI had good luck with NutriSource for my old dog with a sensitive stomach, but she was never picky. What really fixed her sensitive stomach was to start her on a rotational diet and probiotics.
Julie LMemberI fought for over 18 mo on my doodles sensitive stomach. The vet kept saying to change food etc. I tried almost every food known to man. Ellie was thrown up almost daily with yellow bile and she was a very picky eater. Finally I told the vet I wanted a Pancreatitis test. The test was done and guess what??? She had a very bad case of Pancreatitis. Ellie is now on ID kibble 7% fat and I add in ground turkey breast and low salt chicken broth. I give her chicken jerky (home made without anything added) for a treat and give her kibble for treats. If they haven’t ruled out Pancreatitis please ask your vet why? Good luck.
SusanParticipantHi Cathy what are you feeding him at the moment?
Try a limited ingredient food with low fat%, has the vet put him on Hills ID
low fat GI restore wet tin food the fat% is only 8.5% fat dry matter so if it was a kibble the fat is only 8.5% cause it has already been converted…
commercial wet tin foods are higher in fat that can cause sloppy poos unless u can find one
thats around 1-2% fat in wet food.. Have a look at the Wellness Simple limited ingredients
kibbles, I tried the Simple Lamb & Oatmeal & Duck & Oatmeal kibbles, Simple does have grainfree kibbles aswell…Simple also have wet tin food but the fat% is high around 7-8% fat if they were a kibble the fat % would be around 38% fat.. the one with the lowest fat% is the Wellness Petite Entrees mini fillets 2% fat in wet
here’s the Wellness range
