Lynn CParticipant
Tyler is a golden retriever and is a year and a half years old. From day 1-he was 12 weeks old when I got him, he has had softer stools. Nutrisource seemed to work, still soft. When he got neutered at 1 a different clinic over prescribed pain meds. He had bloody soft stools. After a trip to ER, they said that aside from the meds, he might have IBS.
1 I transitioned him to a 1 to 1 mixture of Nutrisource Lamb and Purina Lamb sensitive stomach. His stools firmed up, but when I took him to the vet earlier this month, heād dropped 3 pounds. She said to transition him totally to Purina, so I did so with a 2 to 1 mix. Now, his stools are soft most of the time and smellier.
Thinking of going back to the 1 to 1 mix. Has anyone had IBS with their dog and found an affordable food that helps. I fed my previous Golden Earthborn until he died with Hemangiosarcoma at 8. I hadnāt heard about the issues with grain free until then, so thatās why I didnāt give Tyler Earthborn or Zignature.

Expensive but healthy.
Thanks for your comment. We have found ALPO canned dog food is gone and trying other cans.
Our poor dog had a bowel movement in the house last night.. First ever. It was semi soft and smelly. Other than that the dogs run free and poop in the neighbors yards for the most part. I have never had a dog with IBS. I think maybe once I saw some blood in our pitbulls stool.. He ate just about everything.. even inanimate objects.. and wood furniture.
