Edna joined our family probably about 2 months ago, and we've fallen in love with her.
On day 1 I didn't know any better and bought her Iams puppy food. She LOVED that food and devoured every single bite with every feeding. But her body didn't seem to like it nearly as much as her tongue, and she quickly got diarrhea, explosive at times, and it just wouldn't clear after several days. Thanks to some great advice here, we moved her onto browned hamburger, rice, and pure pumpkin for a couple days and things firmed up right away, and then I slowly put her on Taste of the Wild prairie formula for puppies. Her stools are very solid, and regular, and big for the past 4-5 weeks.
But... she'll only eat about 4 bites and walk away. Then come back a half hour later and have a few more bites. It's like she eats because she absolutely has to. Like how I would eat if someone fed me raw broccoli for every meal. Yuck. I'd eat only because it was one step better than tree bark.
So I ordered some TOTW pacific stream puppy formula to see if she would like that better, but no real change. She maybe eats 5 bites and walks away.
The breeder we bought her from used Fromm, but i"m not sure whether it was Gold (which seems to have grain in it) or the heartland grain free stuff.
I'd like her to enjoy her meals, so I'm thinking I'll switch to Fromm Gold and see how she likes it. It seems pretty legendary around here. I'm assuming its a food that is of high enough quality that the not-grain-free thing isn't an issue.
Anyone else have similar experience with TOTW?
