HI - I'm new to DS Forum and have a pup that has had vomiting/diarrhea issues until putting her on Prescription Diet ID food from my vet. She's been on it for 4 months and we're ready to transition her to something organic and grain-free. Any suggestions? I've read a lot of info about holistic food, and tried to transition her twice without success (more stomach issues). Thanks!

two theories:
1) very slowly transition the food. i.e. mix 90/10 old to new for a couple of day, then 80/20 and then 70/30, etc...
2) stop feeding the old, fast the dog, and then start with a little bit of the new food
...
what have you tried so far in regards to moving the dog off of the Rx food?
...
Also, please take a moment and go to the "new member announcements" area and tell us about yourself. You can
also go here and it will show you how to set up a signature.
Welcome to the forum and good luck!

Hi,
Just wondering what you tried before. Gwen had problems and lots of diareah with high protein no grain foods.. we have it all sorted out now. She also had issues with dairy added...
