Need advise on dog food for my farty 7m old Doberman. Cant afford Blue anymore :(?

Of course the Vet advised against it! The always do unless like mine they are extremely honest or have educated themselves like holistic Vets do!! Do you know that Vets dont have to take nutrition as part of their courses and what lectures they do attend are given by Pet food manufacturers! My dog and my two cats are fed on the Barf diet and I'd never go back to the rubbish my old vet allowed me to feed my cat for five years. It was a well known dry food and it gave him Kidney disease. I changed to wet feeding then a friend introduced me to the Barf diet! I now have one very fit and healthy 15 yr old cat who hasn't been on medication for 5 years! I know lots of people who are now feeding this way including my current Vet (5 Flat-coated Retrievers with the sikiest Black coats I've ever seen and the eldest is a very fit 12 year old) They are all exceptional dogs for their breeds and several have surpassed the average life expectancy too! The only thing that concerns me is the type of meat you are feeding, too much liver and heart can cause problems! I also feed chicken and turkey and my dog and cats love the wings and raw bone is fine for dogs. I usually give her a fresh meaty bone once a week and I get all my supplies from a good butcher! It's actually costing less to feed my German Shepherd this way! Look up the Barf web site for more ideas on what to feed and how to feed! Do what's right for your dog not what is right for your Vet!

You could try something that is not lamb based. It could be that she is having trouble digesting the lamb protein. Something like Natural Choice Wholesome Essentials might work for her. It contains real chicken as the first ingredient, no chicken or animal by-products, no corn, no wheat and no soy protein.

Hope that helps :)

Try Taste of the Wild. That's what I feed my Dobe, and yes, she too has a sensitive tummy. That's the whole reason why I feed her a grain free food. If I don't, she ends up with diarrhea.

Costco has several high quality, reasonably priced foods. Nature's Domain is one of them.
