[nagdu] Canidae

[Tracy Carcione]

Raven, I'm way ahead of you.  Ben went on probiotics as soon as the
antibiotics were done.
Sherrill, no, Ben is on ALS.  He is a senior dog, but I looked at the
platinum formula, and it just added more grain.  I'm not sure that's best.
I've been happy with Cannidae; I'm just not sure it's working for him
anymore, for some reason.
Darryl, thanks to your pointer, I found articles on Cannidae's change in
formula, but it seems to have been in 2011, so I don't think that's my
problem.  Good to know when it happened, though.
Buddy, that's exactly my problem.  I'm thinking about changing foods, but
there are so many choices.
I think I'll try calling my holistic pet store.  They have a dog food
advisor; maybe he has some ideas.  Won't hurt to ask.
