Hi I've been feeding my bassets with Kirkland dog food (Costco) for 5 years now. I bought the Lamb and Rice formula (for various reasons, Winston allergic to corn meal and corn meal makes them has strong BO).
Last week, I bought a new bag and I noticed they start having dierrhea?
But they seem to be normal, happy, active like crazy, eat normal and everything is normal.
could it be the quality of the dog food is decreasing? may be they start using bad quality of protein mix in it? It is only $18 for 40 lbs bag afterall.
Compare to the store brand that would cost $ 30 for 40 lbs bag.

I'm thinking changing to Nutro cause they have Lamb and Rice formula and I remember I bought this brand once and Winston and Henrietta love it.

Did anyone hear anything about Kirkland dog food? Thanks!!

I've been feeding my bassets with Kirkland dog food for 4 years now. They have their annual visit to vet for check-up. The vet said their overall condition is fine, except henri has a back problem (cause she is getting old). Other than that, they are definately healthy.
Except, we noticed that both of their stool is a bit soft than other dogs.

So we thought it might be the dog food! We did an experiment by feeding them Nutro Lamb and Rice for a week, during that period of time, their stool were solid and perfect (I don't know if there is such a thing called a Perfect Stool!! :lol: )

I'll take Winston for a vet visit again next week. It's about time. He needs a dental cleaning and I need to check a skin tag that I found last night. It seems pink color and getting a bit bigger! I'm worried about this one. I hope it's nothing.

The vet found a skin tag on Henrietta last year, it turned out to be nothing. So let's hope.....
