So much for switching to a better dog food!*PICS*

Not all dogs do better on high quality foods. Poor Buddy - I hope he's better soon.

I have to admit though, I've heard of a lot of dogs that have had problems with Wellness products. Have you ever tried any of other premium foods? Canidae and California Natural (lamb) are both generally great for sensitive stomachs and the California Natural is also made specifically for dogs with allergies/skin conditions. Those are the only two brands Winston can eat without either stomach or skin problems, and I've heard the same from many other people.

I agree with Devan on this one. I've heard about alot of dogs who've had issues with Wellness. I've heard that since the food was sold that the quality of the ingredients has gone down.
I would try California Natural Lamb and Rice. If not that, maybe just go back to the Pro Plan.

robinh - Wow! I don't envy you at all! Just goes to show ya that people will do anything and everything for their pets!

Wow, I'm glad you 2 told me about other people having problems with Wellness. For now I'm going to switch back to Pro Plan to get Buddy back to normal. (as normal as he can get )

I may try again, but chances are that I may just leave well enough alone.

Thanks everyone for your replies!

Falise has VERY Sensitive Skin, and Allergies.. And I have tried LOTS of High quality food .. and she chews herself to bleed on it. I tried Wellness.. and she Was Peeing out the back end.. It was WAY to much for her. She did pretty good on Natural Balance Fish and potato.. But, it was too expensive for me. I now have her on Natural Choice Fish and potato, and she is doing pretty well.

My aunt has 2 dogs, and she is BIG on Health food, and vitamins and such. Well, the old dog Buddy just recently was diagnosed with Bone cancer. They are unsure how old he is.. But has been with them 15yrs I think. He was a stray that made himself home there. Well, after the diagnosis.. the doc said he could PTS to take him out of pain.. My Aunt didn't want too, she still saw life in him. Even if it was just a week. She has always feed decent dry food. But when she got home, she said Never mind, I Will just feed him Alpo Canned to spoil him.. Well, when she did.. he had regenerated more life, he was running some, and playing a little more. She was AMAZED. Well, this was a cpl months ago, and he is starting to go down hill again.. But this prooves that sometimes.. the "Best" foods aren't always what they need.

Good luck with your babys.

Oh, poor Falise!

I switched Buddy back to all Pro Plan, but now have to slowly switch Sierra back to it. I also gave Bud some Benadryl yesterday. Hope his feet clear up quickly!

Thank you all for the posts!

Gosh Angie I'm so sorry to hear about Bud's feet.

I guess it doesn't matter what they eat as long as their doing good!

Poor Buddy. Who knew you were already feeding the perfect food for each of your dogs' needs.
