Fair enough. Tavish seems to just not be able to tolerate beef well at all. I guess worse come to worst, my boyfriend’s dog will have a high-quality food for a week or so (he gets Kirkland’s, we’re transitioning him onto the grain-free version atm since I noticed he’s getting yeasty. Unfortunately boyfriend is on a budget and can’t afford to buy his dog a big bag of Origen or Wellness, so Kirkland’s for now and we’ll probably try 4Health))

I saw that on the back of the bag, yeah. It’s more that he had such a bad reaction to the beef in Kirklands (even though that’s also mostly chicken-based) that I’m a little wary of similar proteins – I mean, beef and buffalo can create fertile hybrids, which leads me to believe that their protein are more similar than, say, beef and lamb.

As for the Newman’s, he’s had other canned foods with guar gum and carageenan. I just don’t know what it is about this food that’s giving him gas. He’s not very gassy, but he wasn’t gassy at all before so even a small change is noticeable.

I guess I’ll go ahead and rotate the Merrick in after he finishes his Nutrisca and see how it goes…
