If Ailey is doing well on Innova and you're not comfortable switching, don't. But, looking at the ingredients list, it does look like a nice food. If it's more cost effective, easy to get and you don't mind trying a new food for Ailey, I don't see any reason why not.

She seems to be constipated on Innova lately

IMO, Innova is a slightly superior food. If you're facing issues with constipation, you can either let nature run it's course and let her body self-regulate, or you can add plain canned pumpkin to her diet. Just a spoonful each feeding regulates nicely.

Though if it's an all the time thing, wouldn't it be easier to switch brands instead of mucking about with the pumpkin everytime? Especially since it is still good?

well, if constipation is chronic, it would be more indicative of a systemic problem than a dietary issue.

How does she seem constipated? And how long has she been on the Innova?

I can't find an ingredients list right off the bat, but if it seems like a decent food and not just something your trainer is pushing you to buy just because she sells it, switch for a bag or two and see if there is a difference.

Well she seems to not get it every bowel movement but its happened 3 times in the last month, poor thing crys when she is pooing.

And if it is solved by simply switching the food, wouldn't that be better over all?
