Now this is a good discussion. We feed our dogs Iams with prebiotics, mainly because it is easily accessible. Since we have 4 kids, any less places to stop is always a good thing. People may think Iams is just junk, but I disagree. My dogs "droppings" are nice and solid/smooth, never runny stuff.
We also supplement with NuVet Plus, (see links page here on the forum). This product cannot be bought at the stores, but ever since I started giving it to my dogs I have noticed a large improvement in their overall "glow", less shedding, less tearing. They even smell better for a longer period of time. It gives the dog what is NOT in dog food, and they say there is not a single brand of dog food that can give your dog optimum health and nutrition they need.
Also, a bit of yogurt for a treat. I am going to discuss yogurt in a different thread because I have some useful information about it as well.
Seems like olaf is allergic to an ingredient in Nutro. You should check online and compare the two foods, see what exactly is the difference in ingredients.
Don't forget when switching dog foods you should do it over a period of a week, slowly bringing in the new food. This could also be causing him to get irritated.
If you also want to give him the buffalo brand, but he is not crazy about it, you can always add a couple of Tbsps of ALL NATURAL beef or chicken stock. (make sure there is no onions, the all natural works best becuase there is none in it).
Remember that each dog is different, has different food likings, (I love veggies, my kids don't of course...) lol
You cannot always do exactly what the "Jones's" tell you to do. You will have to experiment and do what is going to work for you and Olaf.
Nutromax is pretty good stuff, but when I fed that to my dogs their poo was awful....![]()
But it could just be that my dogs did not work well with one of the ingredients, like I said before.
