I have switched foods since getting Dukie. I feed natural balance LID fish & sweet potato. Everything seems fine except Duke, my moms cavalier & my 2 rescue yorkies now have tear stains & a stained mouth. What should I switch them to to avoid this?

Id try a teaspoon of yogurt every morning for them. They can also be on a different food separate from Dukie, maybe they're reacting to the fish?

Could be the fish is too strong for them.... if they were good on the previous food, I would place them back on it and leave Duke on the NB

I fed raw from Ross wells that a co op ordered but their quality was going down & I was concerned about them getting the proper nutrients. I didn't go raw with Duke because he doesn't chew, just gulps. I didn't want him gulping pieces of bone. Hmmmmm

Chumley got bad stains when he was on NB too..I didn't attribute it to it at the time and I switched for a different reason but they're completely gone shortly after the switch.

We feed Fromm (I flip flavors, but our Frenchie does great on it) but i am having issue with Lambeau's ears and just this week placed him on The Honest Kitchen till i can get allergy testing done. I am not convinced his issues are totally food related, but in 4 days, I noticed his eyes have stopped watering, the tear stains are getting lighter and his ears are not as dirty.... but his paws have not changed at all.
