Hello everyone,
My name is Khan and I am a 5 1/2 month old Bullmastiff. Although I am very young, I have had some food issues. When my pawrents brought me home I was on very low quality food, so that was the first thing to go. During the first couple months of being in my new home, I went thru 5 different foods. My vet thought I might be sick or have something called colitis. My mom was vigilant and thought it was something in my food. She was right. She found that all the food I was eating had Flax in them. When she put me on a food that was flax free, I did much better. Not many are Flax free, she chose Canidae Grain Free Salmon. Since being on this, I have had much better poo. Thick Soft-n-Serve consistency. Mom says it's not great; but waay better than the explosions
. During this last month my mom heard lots of good things about Orijen LB Puppy, so I have been on that. My poo is not any better, in fact may be a little more loose. My mom is now looking into maybe a raw diet to help with my system, as well as making sure I am getting enough nutrition.
Looking forward to seeing what kind of advise you have for us!
