ive read multiple posts concerning food and diet in this forum and I just cant make up my mind #-o

reason i ask is, id rather learn from EB owners that actually tried and tested and has experience with great success=D>

my 6mo old EB is on Royal Canin EB 30 dry dog food right now, his stool is somewhat soft and never firm, but there are times where his stool would be all wet, but then a few hours later be soft/firm again...but he loves the food and eats it all!!
I give him a couple tsp of plain, non fat yogurt maybe 3x or 4x a week and of course-his supplements-which is omega 3 fish oil, vit e and glucosamine sprinkled over his food everyday

I also read about raw diet-which im honestly staying away from:laughing6:

I am aware that each dog is different, but from ur own experience with trying diff foods-what would u say worked best for ur EB?

thanks in advance guys!

just dont want to deal with trying to get it here in nyc and id rather not feed them raw..

I don't have an EB - dogs in general are pretty much the same as far as diet goes. Personally I would get him off Royal Canin. It's not agreeing with him because his poop isn't consistent. You could try something grain free...

Why are you staying away from raw?

thanks!!

I have an AB and am certainly not an "old timer" LOL however I have dealt with tummy issues with Morley ever since we got her at 8 weeks old and she is now 7 months.

Constant diarrhea, skin irritation, etc. Was not fun. We are now on Natural Balance Fish and Sweet Potato and she seems to be doing fabulous on it - loves to eat it and her poop has been good (until 2 days ago when I thought I would try her on a few carrots...apparently not a good idea).

Good luck!

i figured that much about the grain free food, BUT i still have like 3 small bags of the Royal Canin food left:-k

and I have to also put into consideration which pet stores around my area that sells them-i usually go to Petco..

what did u feed ur dogs b4 u went all raw?

I would only feed grain free food before I went to raw. Some grain free foods are Taste of the Wild, EVO, Orijen, Acana, Merrick, Natural Balance, Nature's Variety Instinct, and there are others.

thnks for ur replies!! will research all that brand now..:laughing6:

You will want to use the food you have left to slowly transition your dogs to a new food. I have fed TOTW, EVO, and Nature's Variety Instinct.

 

[FLIP954RR]

the instinct is pricey though..

 

[FLIP954RR]

true indeed

THANKS for all the input guys-much appreciated!!

as for my eb-he really doesnt have any stomach issues or anything for that matter. I just noticed his stool being too soft/wet at times. I dont overfeed him nor do i give him table scraps. I guess im just trying to find the right diet for him and my puggle.

i really am leaning towards the Nature's Variety Instinct Grain-Free Duck Meal & Turkey Meal Formula Dry Dog Food-and most importantly Petco carries it\\/

Guys-THANK U so much for all your input into this matter!!

as for Tyson-he thanks u also-he finished all the food this morning and ended up catching the itis from a full stomach....
