Thank you! I completely agree!! When we brought Lido home, his poo was already loose. I attributed it to stress from the new environment, but it never got better, even after a couple of weeks. I added a probiotic, which also didn't help. That's when I decided to change his food. Members on this forum weren't happy with the Taste of the Wild Puppy I had decided to change him to, so I decided to try Fromm Large Breed Puppy. The change over went well.
I've had many dogs over the years, and there's no one size fits all. One of my little dogs (maltese/westie?) is allergic to nearly everything and does best on Orijen 6 Fish (thank God she's small, since it's so expensive!). My other little dog (yorkie/chi?) has a sensitive tummy and has had stress colitis a couple of times in the past, so he can't eat a rich food like Orijen. He's currently eating Earthborn Venture and does well on it. I've had boxers who did very well on Taste of the Wild Pacific Stream.
I also do temporary fostering of small dogs; I have a little yorkie right now for a few days who recently had lots of stones removed from his bladder, kidneys, and urethra, poor guy. He's on a vet food for now and may have to be for life.
I will feed a dog whatever he/she does best on. Sometimes, it's not "the best" food, but it's best for that dog.
I bought a second, larger food puzzle but it was too hard for him. I’ll try again in a few weeks. Meantime, the smaller one I have works great.
