Scared to change it up!

When I got my one year old greyhound, she'd been on Diamond Chicken and Rice for almost her entire life. I didn't want her on Diamond and she hates eating it so after a week I started transitioning her on to Fromm Adult Gold. Loose stool. All the time was the result. I used a pro biotic while transitioning her as well and continued use afterwards but the stool didn't get better. So about a week ago I tried introducing Holistic Select Duck formula instead, nope, same result.

So here I am back to Diamond Chicken and Rice. What would be something I could try transitioning her too with success? I understand to expect some soft stool at first...but this was full out diarrhea that didn't let up at all. I was thinking of trying Fromm Classic Adult?

Any other thoughts?

I'm afraid to try something grain free because I feel like it'll just be worse....but one of my coworkers swears that every greyhound customer she's put on Natural Balance has said it works phenomenal. I also considered Fromm Pork and Pea because it's a pretty simple grain free diet.

Basically I need something that won't give her loose stool but that she will be interested in eating. She LOVED the Fromm Gold but loose stool, and she did not really like Holistic Select. I appreciate any input.

I switched from Blue turkey and potato which includes potato rice and oats to Zignature which is grain free and it did not change either of my dogs stool. Except is became smaller. They do not have any food with chicken or eggs or potato though. They gobble it up it is higher in protein than most. My hound has a sensitive stomach and has done very well on this.

Boomer really liked the Fromm 4 Star Grain Free Beef Fritatta. He also likes the Pork and Applesauce. FYI, the difference between the Adult Gold and the standard Fromm Adult is that the gold is chicken and duck whereas, the standard is just chicken based.

It's worth a try. It does come guaranteed so if it doesn't work, then you take it back to the store for a refund or exchange.

I love the Natural balance. My dog is on the limited ingredient diet duck formula. No diarrhea practically ever. I don't use it for the grain free aspect (because I think most people's reasoning for grain free is a load of crap) but because its few ingredients, not a lot of things she doesn't need, shes got mild food allergies and she had diarrhea on most other things growing up. She does well on it.
