Stomach issues..where to go from here?
I am having trouble figuring out what my next steps should be in trying to find the right food for our seven year old dog. For most of her life she had been on different boutique diets and did well on them. Then I found this sub and read the wiki and decided to make the change to a WSAVA brand. After consulting with my vet we first tried RC breed specific but her stools were soft and she had a ton of gas so he recommended switching to Digestive Care or the equivalent from Hills.
He said give it a one bag trial. I thought it would work in the beginning but she still has soft stools, bloating (even with slow feeder) and while the gas is better she just doesn’t seem to be thriving.
What should I do from here? I know that constantly switching isn’t great but should I try something else before going to a prescription diet? My vet is ok with this. Any recommendations of what to try or other advice? I really liked Royal Canin and am disappointed that it doesn’t seem to be working for us.
Edited to add: Obviously I will be speaking with my vet about this but wondering if Hills biome or i/d would be good options, although not sure about the difference between the two? I‘m tempted by Hills Perfect Digestion but have been trying to find the right food since April and her digestive symptoms have not really eased up in that time and I’m reluctant to keep guessing.
Thank you!
