So I talked to an animal communicator....

[smkie]

I would love to talk with an animal communicator. In fact if i had my choice it would be that one in the video where they took the rescues on a dog trip of their dreams .I can't remember..please does anyone else I would love to see it again. 7 days for 7 dogs or something like that. I have questions, for both Pepper and Victor.

I hope the AC was right, i hope that a diet change brings relief for Muff. Vibes for feel betters.

Honestly... I have no problem changing his food. because as it stands he hardly eats it anyway!

At this point I don't care what he's eating as long as he's eating!!! (ok that's not entirely true... I still wouldn't feed him something that's 100% corn like ol'roy).

And as far as the antacids... I don't think those really do anything bad... it's not like some drugs that work for a problem, but have all kinds of bad side effects so you wouldn't want to risk taking them if you don't have the problem. But regardless, these would be an rx from his vet or I would at least talk to his vet before getting over the counter ones.

Wow! I don't know if I believe in Animal Communicators..... but I don't NOT believe either, LOL (I can't get that sentence to sound right!)

Anyway, I hope she's right about the tummy and teasing........I would try that food honestly, like you said, he doesn't eat now what could it hurt?

[Beanie]

Premium Edge is not a bad food. There are others I would try first but I have nothing against PE. I forget, have you tried Cali Naturals with him? The simplicity of those formulas might be easy on his stomach.

What kind of charm is she making for him? One for his belly, or one for what seems to be a security issue..?

[xpaeanx]

Charm is for security. He's also pretty much afraid of everything.

So, I stopped by the feed store and read the back of every fish food they had. I was torn between totw and orijen. Totw has more of a limited formula, but orijen is more fish and less "other stuff." I decided to try oijen first.... We'll see...

[cricketsmygirl]

Orijen is awesome food but a bit harsh on the wallet lol. I hope she is right and everything works out well for you and your pup!

[xpaeanx]

Oh yeah, beanie they only had cali nat chicken.... So I decided to skip it.

Oh and wellness has a "simple recipe" food that's advert as being for allergies.... First it's "whatever and rice" but the 1st ingredient is the rice! I would have expected more from them!

Cricket: no kidding! The small bag(5.5lb) was $18 after tax!!! But if it works than I'm all for it!

[MericoX]

Did you have to pay for it? I'm interested in who you went with...

[xpaeanx]

Merico, I'll pm you. But yes I paid.


So.... The food. I put a bit down and he ate it all up, and is now looking for more. But this is the first time he's been fed it so I'm not convinced. If he's still eating it by the end of the week we'll know. I'm tempted to put more down but if it is an ulcer that's not a good idea. I will give him some more tonight though.

[PoodleMommy]

personally I wouldnt change good based on someone who "communicated" with my animal.

First, I would have vet tests done and see what we are dealing with.

However, switching to a different food if your dog has stomach issues is a good idea... I would change to something with 1 protein source like lamb or duck.

Have you tried Fromm or Eagle Packs Duck and Sweet potato lines?
