For owners who care WAY too much about their dog's poop...
Let's be honest. As pet owners, we care way too much about what comes out of our dog's posterior. I've had so many poop conversations with my husband that I know sound crazy to anyone who doesn't have pets or kids. Was the color okay? What about the consistency? One of our dogs had loose stools for several months that we could never figure out. She also had some skin problems, so my vet suggested it might be a food allergy. My personal opinion is that food allergies in animals is an overused diagnosis for a lot of symptoms. Our dog's particular skin problem didn't look like the a typical allergic reaction in dogs (she's a husky and her particular problem looked more like a zinc deficiency). However, I decided to humor the vet and try switching her to a limited ingredient dog food. We chose Canidae Grain Free dog food because it had 8 primary ingredients, none of which were chicken, plus the vitamins and minerals that we still want to make sure our dog receives. Let me say, after a few days on this food, my dog's poop has never looked better! After a few weeks, the skin issue around her eyes and mouth also cleared up! It's been over a month, and we also realized that her late night potty breaks have disappeared (she's an older dog, so we though the late night outdoor trips were just part of her old age). Overall, I'm very impressed by the quality of this dog food and believe it has had a positive impact on the health of my dog. (I've also since apologized to my vet, who is super sweet and very understanding of crazy pet owners like myself!)
