We've had our 21 month old girl since May. She was on Purina Pro Plan Sport when we got her. Did have occasional loose poops, and after I was using cooked chicken as treats, had diarrhea. I figured she had a sensitivity to chicken. Since the Pro Plan was chicken based, I gradually switched food to Precise Holistic Complete Lamb (grain free). Our other Newf did great on this and I figured what the heck. Since the total switch, she's acting like she's starving, which I attributed to maybe just liking the food. She has also been "feisty". Tonight she climbed over the seat in my husband's car while he ran in to get his mother and chewed on a screwdriver that was on the floor (ate part of the handle), yesterday it was a piece of paper towel. It also looks like she chewed on the rug. Up until now, she hasn't been a chewer. Without getting too graphic, her poop volume has increased. She gets 4 cups a day. (95 pounds, she is a little newf).
If it means anything, she was spayed and had a pexy the beginning of July.
I'm not married to this food, or grain free. I have to say since the switch to grain free her eyes are less "goopy".
She gets plenty of exercise and she is rarely left alone.
Could the spay have anything to do with this? Just a phase?
I've read every thread on food here (not really, it just feels like that), so I know there are 20 different good choices and it is very dependent on the individual dog. Maybe back to a different formula of Pro Plan? The heck with grain free? Or just ride this out instead of making a big deal out of this??!!!
Any suggestions are welcome, sorry for the rambling.
