dog food?

Hi, Im new here and I have a problem with my basset Samson. He came to me severely underweight as a stray about a year and a half ago.He is about 2 1/2 now.All food at that time upset his stomach or gave him diarrea. The vet and I tried everything to get him settled, several medications and home cooking did not help. Finally with the advice from another basset owner I found a dog food that he could eat. Heres my problem: I now find out this company is the number one most wanted for animal cruelty. Samson does still get loose bowls on occasion if he gets into something and my vet said this would be a life long problem. Does anybody have any ideas or know of any similar situations that had a happy ending? Thanks for any advice!

Hi,

My two are 10 months and both have allergies. We finally found a good food and a couple of treats that work. The food and crunchy treats are a fish and sweet potato mix. We also found training treats (soft) that are a salmon base. It has made a tremendous difference and while their stool is a little looser it's not enough to be a worry. We can buy the food locally but order the treats on-line. A little more exspensive but well worth it! :)
