Yeah, Newfy amounts of diarrhea would be very very un-cool

I’m not saying Tops or Wegmans own, but whatever name brand stuff they have there. Iams is the dog’s current gourmet dinner.

I’m really suprised that Science Diet isn’t an option as that seems to be the sign that most vets have in front of their places saying that they reccomend/use.

All good info here… interesting to see the replies…

I just switched mine the other day, with 1 day of blending the foods, and neither have had any “shit” issues… _knocks on wood_…

I’ve also heard from a few people on here I think and online that with the holistic foods that the “shit” is less… from what I understand the food is more utilized by the dog and there’s less waste/filler in the food so they don’t have to eat as much or shit out as much to get the same amount of nutrition.

I know my 2 pups (17wk old Lab, and 10mo Lab Mix) both seem to chow down on the BB more than the Euk they were eating. The used to just kinda eat and pick at it… with the BB they CHOW until the bowl is empty…

if all your vet cares about is $ I suggest you seek another vet. I take George to the Boston Valley Animal Hospital and they all LOVE animals and are so nice/kind. I’d expect that the vets want to make $ as they went to school for 243958748975 years, but there should also be some concern/care for the animals. Also, the Boston Valley place is really really really reasonable. I used to go Abbott Rd Animal Hospital, dear god is that place **_EXPENSIVE_**

we fed our rott an all natural dog food that was actually fit for human consumption as they called it.Was an all natural food no fillers or bi-products which I guess can be anything from roadkill to euthanized animals.Dog was beautiful,healthy,and was 155 with ribs still visable when we got rid of him.There is a place on shiridan that sells it and I know there is a place in hamburg that does as well.  
I’m sure there are others as well
