What to feed Bonnie now????

I had to take Bonnie off the raw diet as it gave her really BAD smelly dire rear frequently

I've put her back on the dry stuff as she seems to do better on this.

she's on Gusto at the mo but i think this is making her itch as she's scratching her armpits all the time.

i've frontlined them both so its not lodgers.

do you think a sensitive food would suit her better or just a different brand?

Could it have been lamb or beef that was giving her the runs? If you wanted you could just try her on chicken for a week and see? I know Maddie has 'issues' with red meat but even Molly can't have too much lamb
Just a thought

Hows H doing on the diet?

I changed to James Wellbeloved as my GSD was scratching all the time. It really helped the lamb and rice is for itchy coat.

she hadn't had the lamb or beef just chicken and tripe.

the dire rear was awful,:smt078 quite often we were outside at 12am scrubbing her down and the smell made me retch( which is very rare ) after 10 days and 5+ times a day of scrubbing i gave up and put her back on the dry which she likes but i dont think the Gusto likes her skin, hence wanting to change it.

H is doing wonderfully,still loves the food and the variety, he eats better than us
i'm getting him weighed next week to see if he's gained any more, which i think he has.

OH came back from Download last week and thought he'd got fatter!!
hopefully with the exercise the muscle will return, which he lost quite a bit of.
vet is happy,i'm happy and H is happy. jabs now 2 weekly with no probs. monthly from september then hopefully 3 months. still could be lifetime tho'.

Arden Grange is another one too. Hope it solves her problem. I've not heard of Gusto to be honest!
