Currently doing the chicken & rice thing (+probiotics) after a 24hr fast because my guy is dealing with digestion issues and diarrhea. It's been a real great weekend. /s
It coincides pretty perfectly with starting a fresh bag of dog food. The food in question (Acana Lamb & apple) looks different than normal, so I'm assuming formula change. He hasn't gotten into anything recently, and when he is outside it's always on-leash. Otherwise he's his usual happy self, eating & drinking normally.
My dog is a 9yr old 105lb male (neutered) Rottweiler, and we have always struggled with finding food he doesn't react to. We haven't gone through testing with the Vet. They said results can honestly be pretty unclear since part of the problem can be how the food is processed, not just the ingredients themselves.
I'm looking for recommendations for a high quality kibble for dogs with allergies/sensitivities. He consistently reacts to foods with poultry of any kind, some fish, wheat/grains, food dyes, etc. It can cause vomitting, diarrhea, gunky/smelly ears and skin (we call it "yeasty"), and breakouts on his face.
Acana was our ol' reliable for the past 5 years. I'm so stressed about going through the trial and error phase again. Price isn't a huge concern. Like, due to his size (and our location) raw isn't a viable option, but I spend $120 for a 20lb bag (lasts maybe 4 weeks) and if I have to pay a little more that's fine.
