Hi there, I have 3 Aussies and I feed them Fromn 4star nutritionals grain free. I have found that Fromm chicken gives one of them loose stools. I switches to the beef frittata veg and it cleared right up. Hope that helps!

You can get a dish to encourage slower eating. It has a narrow channel to put the food in, to make the dog work a little bit to get it out. Hope this helps!

Have you tried a beef-based food yet? It may be a chicken sensitivity. My dogs have better stool when on beef. Good luck!

Hi! Here is an article by natural vet Karen Becker, with a really good discussion of the topic. There are a lot of variables that can be taken into consideration like where you live, etc. I hope this helps you. Dr Becker has a great website and is a wonderful resource.

Congratulations on your new dog! I have large breeds, myselfso I cannot comment on that. But I have found this dog food rating system on this website a valuable tool for finding the best food for our budget. I have found it takes some time to search through the higher rated foods, thrn shop around to price check, but worth it. Buy the highest rated food you can afford. I also supplement my dogs’ dry kibble with raw carrots and broccoli as treats for additional enzymes and antioxidents. I am sure you will get additional helpful comments here. Good luck!

From what I see on the rating list, it is 3.5 stars. Hope that helps!

Thank you all for the continued replies with ideas! I have contacted Washington State University about flea control and they said the only topical that has been tested for use on MDR1 dogs is Bravecto. I am going to stop the Parastar topical, and find another method, and I will be trying these natural ideas. Our local Aussie Rescue recommends Sentinel flavortabs for heartworm control in Aussies, so I will probably switch him to that when his Heartgard is gone. I understand from WSU that any heartworm pills on the market are tested and approved for MDR1 dogs, except those with spinosad, which would be Trifexis. Thank you again, and I will keep watching this thread for more information!

Thank you! I am definitely interested in trying natural flea/tick control!

I have never heard of that site, I will look at it. Thank you!

Hi! Thanks, sorry, I wasn’t clear… the one I want to switch meds for HAS been tested, he is the one that is MDR1 mutant/normal. He has just never had Sentinel before. From what I can find on the net, Sentinel SHOULD BE safe, but I am just trying to get more input. I think Interceptor is safe for him also. What natural flea treatments do you use? We live in SE Texas, in about the worst flea/parasite area in the county. Thank you for your reply!
