Hi Lisa - long time no speak. Hope all is well with your guys. I know you went raw and never look back - lol.

I posted under NB thread - that Sierra has been on NB D&P for about a yr. She's been doing great! However, I've been noticing her licking her paw a bit more than usual. I've also seen a butt scoot or two. I just opened a new bag of NB D&P 2 wks ago. I have made these observations over the past 2 wks.

Any suggestions? Don't want her to suffer itching, etc. If this becomes worse, it must be the food and I'll have to switch. Any tips for me? Don't want to go raw. I know you have given tons of advice in here - so just to refresh your memory...you seemed to think Sierra didn't do well with grains and multi proteins.

These are foods we tried and no luck:

Sci Diet (was on this when we adopted her)
Wellness Chicken (fine for about 6 mos, then problems)
Wellness Lamb & Rice (steady diarrhea - maybe the lamb)
Wellness Fish & Sweet Potato (she didn't like it)

Lisa - help! I am dreading going back to the "locate a food" cycle. Any suggestions? Maybe Wellness Simple Duck?

Hi, I'm not a Lisa but i'm going through the same thing and I just tried Wellness Simple Solution Duck and my boys were itching fools. They were itching on only 1/4 cup into the transition :bang: :bang:

I am so frusterated "sign"

They were itching on NB D&P too? Always or just recently?

Might want to try NB Venison and Wild Rice - Shanti never tolerated the DP she is thriving on this one.

No, they did GREAT on NB until they changed the formula. Then they were poopin there brains out :rolleyes: I am trying Fromm's Duck and Potato now because I can't find any other food.

My guys can't have any poultry, I am at such a loss :tissue:

I am so turned off by NB now, I simply don't trust them. I have called them every other day for the results of the food they tested and the STILL have not called me back :rolleyes:

Have you recently opened a new bag of the D&P?, if so, have you noticed a change in color of the kibbles? Apparently NB is up to their changes again :rolleyes:.

She's never been on beef, right?

Hitch, PM me your email addy, I've got something interesting to show you (when I get to scanning it).

I posted about switching Cole as well off of NB. I bought the last 2 bags an dI have noticed a slight difference now. Cole is licking his paws and pooping 3-4 times a day, glad I am not imagining this. I am bummed I loved D&P and just got my sister to switch...uh oh.
