If it is bulldogs or other dogs with alot of wrinkles on thier face, good luck. Those breeds have a lot of gas for whatever reason. Now, when I got my dog as a puppy(German Shepherd) he was on Purina One Puppy and I can tell you, if you would have light a match, you might have blown up my whole house. I changed to California Natural and the gas went away, I have also feed Innova, Totw, Fromm and Orijen with no gas issues. Now with Orijen the stools have a little stronger smell to them, LOL, little? Orijen does have a senior formula and Acana is very good also check them out at http://www.championpetfoods.com/ Dogs are carnivores not rabbits, they should be eating a product with lots of meat in it.

They may have digestive issues. Try the Orijen again (or the 6 fish formula) with a digestive enzyme to help break the food down and absorb it into the body.

I switched them, GRADUALLY! to AvoDerm vegetarian...but their um...excrement is YELLOW! That can't be healthy. It did help with the gas, but the whole yellow thing makes me nervous. I was reading the reviews on AvoDerm and now see it's not the healthiest choice. So my question, is there an Orijen or even another brand that would be better for them and not cause the gas? They're not very active though and I saw in the reviews for Orijen that it was great for active dogs...I think my oldest dog is getting a bit fat.

Now my dog has flakes on his skin. Do you think that can be caused by change in food? I am also feeding him the Missing Link supplement. Is that good?

Most house pets can't digest it all to well though and end up having the runs. Alot of sport and working dogs do absolutely fantastic on this food. I agree, I still think Orijen is better.

Do the math....you'd have to feed your dog about a quarter of the bag (a 30 pounder mind you) to gain any of those benefits. So your dog would have all the vitamins he'd need, but he'd be so overweight you'd need all the glucosomine you could get your hands on just so he could stand up on those legs. All dog foods need a supplement. At least give the poor thing a multi vitamin that they sell at your local pet store. Even that would help him out. I personally supplement with Springtime Longevity and Springtime Bug Off Garlic for both of my girls. The 6 month old pup also gets Springtime Omega 3-6-9 due to her heart arrythmia. There are tons of companies that make supplements. Longevity is also a detoxifier so the guy feeding pro plan, check this out. Be real on dog food....the companies sell to people, not dogs. So they can put whatever they want on the bag to make you feel all warm and cozy. Dogs need meat and the protein needs to come from meat sources, not rice and bran. It's much cheaper to make dog food with rice and bran than with meat. It's ok here and there, but to constantly feed your dog low grade food will only result in the input you give it. Would you put 87 octane in your Ferrari? Would you eat Burger King and McDonalds everyday? I laugh when everyone starts talking about vitamins and minerals and glucosomine and such in there food.

I don't understand people when it comes to having issues with their dog food then acting like it isn't THAT. I know I AM IN FOR IT WITH THIS STATEMENT , IT's like the guy who loves a certain car manufacture, but he is always working on it or it's in the shop or breaking down all the time, but man they build the best. Gotta buddy who's little truck is just a piece of crap and brags about getting 150,000. miles on it before replacing the engine. I started laffing in his face because my little Japanese truck had 425,000, And nothing had gone wrong with it,,,, until I gave it to the kids,, LOL. Do you get my point ??

And any pills he might get. If I an gonna add meat he gets a little of the real stuff. I only give him canned so I can mix his powdered vitamins in. And any pills he might get.
