Need to find a good food....

Okay we are having a hard time finding a good food that agrees with our six month old Jasper. We have tried Solid Gold Wolf Cub, Canine Caviar Lamb and Pearl Millet and Natural Choice Lamb and Rice, and Jasper had really loose stools while he was on all of them. We have him on Science Diet Large breed puppy at the moment and his stools have been a lot firmer, but I really dont like all the corn and by-products that they use. We were just wondering if anyone has any ideas. Thanks!

Have you tried Canidae? They have a chicken and rice formula that's pretty good, in fact many here use this. It seems to agree with dogs that have sensitive stomachs.

My two have done really well on Solid Gold Hundenflocken (I know you tried the wolf cub), Artemis, and California Naturals, as well as Innova.

Hope that helps. Good Luck.

Linkin didn't have solid stool until we switched him to Canidae. He loves it and has been solid since we made the switch.

We also tried Bil Jac and Diamond Natural... he didn't do well on either one.

Canidae is the first thing that has completely eliminated Zoe's gas, and Riley seems to be doing very well on it.

I hear very good things about Canidae. My guys only do kibble in the am and they really like the Solid Gold Salmon/Bison.

But almost everyone who has tried the Canidae has had success with it.

My Gracie had trouble with loose stools throughout her first year or so. We are now on Blue Buffalo Wilderness and she's doing very well on it. I am also considering Innova EVO in the future.

Take a look at this link (i found it on this site!) and check out the ratings of the various dog foods. It's very informative!

We do canidae, works well for Daisy, when we got her, everything made her stools loose

I am in the process of switching Duke to Canidae and it seems to be agreeing with him quite well.

I like natures variety, innova evo and timberwolf organics.

I do Timberwolf Organics. I switch the flavors, but Elsa goes crazy for the Chicken and Herbs flavor.
