Hello EB family. I first want to say this forum has been such a great source of valuable information and help for me. EB’s are a special (figuratively and literally) breed and vets tend to always want to go the drug route with solutions so I try to exhaust all measures first, because like us humans, no one wants chemicals deposited into their body to cause other issues if there are alternatives to fix a issue, so thank you for all the replies on all my posts!
Ok, on to this issue. I’ve been feeding my boy Kingdom Farmer’s Dog since January and he absolutely LOVE it! He licks the bowl clean every meal, but he’s loosing weight on it and appear smaller. He never was a big boy and now he’s getting smaller. We feed him one pack a day, so half a pack per meal (breakfast/dinner). He’s 2 and will be 3 in September. Is this normal for Farmer’s Dog? Did your dog loose weight on fresh dog food too? Prior to Farmer’s Dog he was on Acana limited ingredient and it was fine but he pooped a lot and was constantly thirsty and drank a ton of water, which I hear is normal feeding kibble, and I didn’t like it. Also, another small issue with Farmer’s Dog is their proteins are limited. Kingdom eat the beef and turkey only and I will possibly have to eliminate the beef now too because it has sweet potatoes in it, and I know that can be a culprit for EB’s and allergies, which Kingdom does have (watery eyes, paws smell like corn ships at times and he licks them).
What are your thoughts on the weight loss and what do you recommend to meaty him up a tad bit? Is Zignature a good/safe kibble to maybe add to meals? Or put him on for a little while all together? I’m not against an excellent quality dry food to rotate.
