pugmomsandy
ParticipantYes probiotics (preferably a multi-strain probiotic) will help with gas. Also digestive enzymes. I give both to my kibble feeders couple times a week. I donāt believe Nutrisource has had recalls. You can find this in stores and online. Itās mid-priced. $50 for 30 lbs and is mid-protein range. I feed the grain free recipes to my foster dogs. They donāt have gas issues with this food even though some of them donāt get supplements. For probiotcs I have mercola brand and Dr Langers by Swansonvitamins. I also give kefir sometimes instead. Itās in the milk section at the grocery store. Some people make their own kefir too.

May 31, 2013 at 2:13 pm in reply to: Animal protein allergies/loose stools/omg help #18512 Report Abuse Edit Post Visibilitypugmomsandy
ParticipantTransitioning to a higher protein food can take longer than 1 week. And for some dogs you just have to take baby steps depending on the healthy (or non-healthy) state of their digestive tract. I was feeding poor quality food (1 star foods) for about a year or so then transitioned them to a āmiddle of the roadā type of food like Merrick and Castor and Pollux and Blue (all regular with grain) for a couple months and then started incorporating grain free/mid-high protein foods. The final transition to Instinct took about 2 months for one of my dogs.
I didnāt know about probiotics or digestive enzymes back then either which would have helped alot. My fosters get a moderate protein diet (Nutrisource grain free Lamb) and I give them ground psyllium for just a couple days for fiber and give them probiotics for their gut and they usually transition without diarrhea. I also find that wet foods donāt have much fiber so I will add some fiber to that too or chia seed.
You might consider a limited ingredient diet for a little while to give his bad digestion a break and start giving him a multi-strain probiotic.
May 31, 2013 at 1:53 pm in reply to: Liver enzyme (?) elevation? #18511 Report Abuse Edit Post Visibilitypugmomsandy
ParticipantIs he still having loose stool? Have you tried giving him some fiber? Like a tablespoon of pure pumpkin puree or a teaspoon of chia seed or 1/4-1/2 teaspoon of psyllium? Or are you going to try a different food? My fosters usually transition well to Nutrisource grain free. I use the Lamb or the Heartland Select (but this one has chicken). The Lamb has lamb and salmon. They also have a fish one ā Seafood Select. Wellness Core Ocean has more fiber as well and no chicken in it.

pugmomsandy
ParticipantThatās quite a broad statement. Meat and eggs do not make a complete diet. Dogs also need bones and organs and even green tripe has some vegetation in it. Fish (of course there are certain ones to avoid) is also good to incorporate into their diet. Also these days, the meat from our feed animals and farmed fish are not very healthy so certain vitamins and essential fatty acid supplementation can be necessary.

ParticipantAnesthesia is a medication with varying side effects. Different dogs can have different side effects. Also it could be from the pain meds (if they gave him some) or from the antibiotics.
pugmomsandy
ParticipantSwansonvitamins(dot)com, as Patty mentioned above, also has Immunel Colostrum Fraction with Transfer Factor. I would avoid if possible applying topical meds like flea/tick products if you can too since they are pesticides and affect the immune system unless you have some that donāt contain pesticides (ones made with essential oils).

ParticipantNot sure if youāre talking to me but..
sojos.com and another brand The Honest Kitchen is thehonestkitchen.com. They all have different calorie counts to take that into account. Sojoās is low calorie so he gets to eat alot but for not alot of calories. I also just bought some Addiction dehydrated to try on him too. Addictionfoods.com. It takes the worry out of balancing the diet since they are already balanced. You can buy these online even on Amazon or at better pet stores.

Was there a time when she had normal stools? What was she eating then? Can you go back and start over? Give her a longer time to acclimate? Or just give her old food for one meal and raw for the other?

ParticipantSojoās Complete is grain free and is for āall life stagesā so it does have vits/minerals. This would be something you could use if you needed something convenient in between making homemade food. I always add kibble or egg or sardine to this since it is low in protein. I also give digestive enzymes with this food for all the veggies in it. I am currently feeding it to a 14 yr old right now.

Participantwantthebest4myk9,
Iāve been using Sojoās Complete on one of my dogs (14 yr old pug) but I either add in some high protein kibble or some eggs since itās a little low in meat. I also give digestive enzymes with it and the stool only has a few visible pieces of veggies in it. For my personal pugs I prefer at least 30% protein. If youāre looking to make homemade, āReal Food for Healthy Dogs and Catsā by Dr Becker/Beth Taylor uses a 75% meat/organ/bone to 25% veggie/fruit mix. Iāve also used The Honest Kitchen Zeal.

ParticipantI usually have 3 different bags of food open at once and either feed one at a time or mix some of it up in a large container. I also have a dozen different canned foods Iāll use as toppers. Sometimes I even give them some dehydrated foods (rehydrated, of course) mixed with some kibble and I also give them freeze dried foods as well. Hopefully once you start offering a variety, your dog will be able to eat something different at each meal without a problem. Adding probiotics and digestive enzymes will help.

ParticipantJust wanted to add my pugsā ages range from 2 to 14 and they all eat the same various things. Good luck on your search for new foods! Iāve probably tried over 2 dozen!
May 16, 2013 at 4:32 pm in reply to: Need help choosing for for small breed dogs #17917 Report Abuse Edit Post Visibilitypugmomsandy
ParticipantMy dog sitter has a maltiepoo or a maltiepootzu. Something like that. Anyways, HDM gave great advise. As far as kibble goes, my pugs and foster pugs eat a variety of foods (mostly grain free except for the puppy food). The foods also have a varying level of protein and fat and they have no problem going from one food to another. The kibble is also small ā Nutrisource grain free, Brothers Complete, Natureās Select grain free and I still have a few small bags of Epigen fish laying around. They have also eaten Amicus (for toy breeds). Since you only have 2 small dogs you can probably keep 2 or 3 different small bags of food around at once to offer a variety. Or heck, I can just mail you some because I always get big bags since I have at least 9 dogs around at once! Currently I have 4 different flavors open.
If you go to some of the dog foodsā websites, you will see that the toy/small breed foods are generally higher in protein than regular and large breed foods.
There are some days my toy breed dogs just get a piece of chicken leg or whole sardine or just tripe. Just protein and fat, no carbs.
May 16, 2013 at 1:20 am in reply to: Starting a rotational diet⦠#17902 Report Abuse Edit Post Visibilitypugmomsandy
ParticipantTransitioning can be as slow or fast as you want but I would suggest going by how their output is. If your dog has only eaten one food for several years it might take longer to transition as they are not use to the different kinds of ingredients. Iāve even taken two months or longer on one of mine. Basically I got to 80% new/20% old for over a month but I was transitioning them to a high protein/fat diet ā Instinct. I usually go with 25/75 for at least a week and if there stools look good then increase to 50/50 for another week until their stools look good, then 75/25 etc. I didnāt know about probiotics or digestive enzymes back then so those probably would have made transitioning easier. You can even feed a mix of kibbles. I usually feed 2 different kibbles together and mix them up in a 1.5 gallon container in different ratios everytime it gets empty.
Also are you feeding a grain food or grain free food? That might also factor in the transitioning. I went from 1 star food to 4 star food to 5 star food over the coarse of a year.
Of course my fosters get zero transition time. I have know idea what they ate in their previous life and what they ate at the vet. I just give them probiotics, digestive enzymes and ground psyllium and hope for the best. They might have soft stool for a few days and thatās it.
I have found that they transition well on Nutrisource grain free and even Nutrisca. Petflow (and probably other online retailers) offer free shipping when you order a certain amount. Petflowās amount is $49 so a large bag is usually free shipping. Iād get two large bags at once. Theyāre packed in the box tighter than one single bag.
Once you know how to read ingredients on dog food, it should be the same for treats. I used to give Beggin Strips, Pupperoni and even cheese balls as treats. Even fed one of my fosters Moist and Meaty after jaw surgery not knowing any better. Right now I use Vital Essentials freeze dried nibblets and Dr Becker Bites and Nutrisca freeze dried for treats. For chewing treats I give dry roasted trachea and tripe chews (very stinky) and fresh chicken feet and fresh trachea.

Just remember to cut the claws off!A whole sardine is an easy additon too.
Duck and turkey necks are great for chewing and cleaning teeth also. I can find small turkey necks at the health food store sometimes. Chicken necks are always at the ethnic grocery store and so are chicken feet and other kinds of feet.
I donāt think you even mentioned raw food so Iāll stop there!
Yes homemade jerky treats are a money saver. You can even use your oven. Set it to the lowest setting and bake for at least 3 hours thinly sliced strips of chicken or other meat/organs on a lightly greased cookie sheet. I guess the new silicone nonstick bakeware will work. Store in the frig.

ParticipantMy dogs eat (mine and fosters) Nutrisource grain free Lamb or Heartland Select and occasionally the grain-inclusive puppy formula, Natureās Select grain free and occasionally the Hi-Pro (puppy) formula, Nutrisca (all 3 flavors) and Brothers Complete Beef and Fish formulas. I feed puppy formulas sometimes to the emaciated ones. Iāve heard alot of people say their dogs do well on Victor dog food. For cans I use Wellness stews, Merrick classic and Merrick 96%, Weruva, Addiction, Tripett, Nutrisca and I have Sojoās Complete (dehydrated) and Addiction (dehydrated) also. It has more volume when served but not alot of calories to I add kibble or eggs to it for added protein. The Costco brand Kirkland Cuts in Gravy is only $1 a can but I donāt have Costco near me.
The dogs usually get kibble with a different can several days a week and I have 3 bags of kibble open all the time. So they could literally eat something different every day or every meal. And thatās not including my raw fed dogs that also eat a variety.
I will say that I started out having 2 bags of food open and when one ran out I would get a different one so the dogs would always get something ānewā with their āoldā food so they wouldnāt have tummy upsets. But Iāve changed so often they donāt have that problem anymore. Probiotics and digestive enzymes help with that too.
pugmomsandy
ParticipantAll my dogs have struvite in their urine but no infection and they are 5, 5 and 9 yrs old. I give vitamin C (reccā by my vet) and d-mannose almost daily. My vet is more holistic. She even sells raw foods in her clinic and didnāt even mention any Rx foods. They have never had a UTI. That is not to say that some dogs arenāt more prone to get UTIās and then have problems with stones.
May 14, 2013 at 6:00 pm in reply to: What is a Low Residue Diet? #17865 Report Abuse Edit Post Visibilitypugmomsandy
ParticipantHow old is your dog? Two of my dogs had an elevated liver enzyme at one check up and then normal the next. It is not just diet that can affect it but also things like medications and pesticides (ingested or topical like heartworm/flea/tick meds) that are filtered through the liver. Ask you vet about milk thistle and have the enzymes rechecked. What are you currently feeding your dog?
pugmomsandy
ParticipantThanks! I checked it out. Just give it about 20 seconds to fully load!! 75 lbs of pugs only need 34 lbs of raw a month!
May 10, 2013 at 12:43 pm in reply to: Recommendation for Probiotic #17810 Report Abuse Edit Post Visibilitypugmomsandy
ParticipantIāve used Mercola probiotics for about 2 yrs now but have just purchased some Dr Langerās also (for me to use too). It depends on what Iām feeding. If itās wet food, I like to sprinkle in the probiotics, if dry kibble, I just like to give them a pill without having to wet the kibble. Itās quite time consuming sometimes to wet the kibble with canned food. This week Iām feeding 12 dogs. Maybe itās not so much time consuming but the dogs are sooooo impatient when I pop open a can and it can get quite loud!!

ParticipantThatās carnivorefeed-supplier. Have you thought about making homemade raw? There are recipe books you can buy and it ends up being alot cheaper. You can also supplement his diet with 20% of unbalanced food like giving chicken wings/necks/backs/gizzards/heart, etc.
May 8, 2013 at 4:34 pm in reply to: Cheaper alternative to Primal Raw Frozen #17778 Report Abuse Edit Post Visibilitypugmomsandy
ParticipantHave you looked at the other products available where you buy the Primal? You might also find a supplier at carnivorefeed-supply. It is a yahoo group you can join where suppliers post. I buy 2 lb bags of ground frozen for around $2/lb and I make my own grinds too. Alot cheaper that way!
pugmomsandy
ParticipantHi Betsy,
I used it last year and didnāt have any problems. Iām in TX. My senior girl also liked to sunbath and lay outside alot and she and others didnāt get fleas. I havenāt seen mosquitoes yet around here but Iām sure theyāre coming! At the end of the year I also tried out Halo Herbal Dip. I used it concentrated and put a couple drops 4 or 5 on their harness. It can be put on cloth. And also mixed with water for a spray. I would carry a collar with some drops on it out with me when I went out and I didnāt get bit either. I just bought some essential oil or eucalyptus citriodora to add a few drops to the mercola bottle. I also put in a little neem oil. I treated my yard with garlic, neem and cedar oil sprays last year too and once maybe last month. I have about 6 bottles in the cupboard. And none of my pugs got heartworm or tapeworms since I donāt give anything for that. They all had their check-up in April.

May 6, 2013 at 5:57 pm in reply to: Going crazy trying to figure out what type of food is best #17705 Report Abuse Edit Post Visibilitypugmomsandy
ParticipantThe best diet (if your feeding kibble) would be to feed your lab a variety of foods, not just one brand or flavor or form. Rotate foods to maintain a healthy gut and give probiotics and/or digetive enzymes. Commercial kibble will always have some shortcomings. I like and use for kibble Nutrisource grain free, Natureās Select Grain Free or the Hi-Pro formulas only (made by Mid America Pet Foods), Brothers Complete and sometimes Wysong Epigen and Nutrisca. I foster so I have lots of mouths to feed. I also feed various canned foods from Wellness, Nutrisca, Addiction, Tripett and Weruva. And also give freeze dried foods and raw foods.
pugmomsandy
ParticipantI donāt have any advise for a diet for 3 types of stones (what are they?) but if you go the homemade route, be prepared to do frequent urine tests to make sure all is good. You can get urine pH strips and check for that yourself but will need to drop a sample off regulary to see how the crystal situation is going.
pugmomsandy
ParticipantI know she doesnāt have teeth but are you afraid of feeding her kibble for that reason? As dogs donāt chew food anyways (most, canāt say all). But I donāt think a dog of her size would have any issue with small kibble. Many old foster pugs are toothless or only have a few and not the ones to crush food with anyways. I donāt know what all she has in her pantry, but just some Honest Kitchen with another one of her foods so she just gets the fiber/veggie bulk from HK to help with the slow poop. Whether that is HK with raw or HK with canned or HK with kibble. And are you still using olive oil? Or the herbal?

ParticipantGive her a spoon or two of Honest Kitchen with whatever else youāre feeding her if it makes her poop. Iāve been feeding my 14 yr old Sojoās with eggs and kibble. Heās still such a food hound so the added volume of food from Sojoās helps him stay full too.
