My dog will eat anything you put in his bowl (even his worming tablet) but not everything agrees with him. I tried various types of expensive kibble when he was younger and all of them gave him the trots, multiple times a day - made house training incredibly difficult. I tried raw but again he got the runs. I tried various expensive tinned foods but had the same problem.
One night we ran out of food and the only stuff I could get in Co-op was Pedigree Chum. Amazingly his poops went solid overnight and on PC twice a day he never has loose stools.
Various articles and research has taught me that pedigree chum is full of rubbish and is super processed. I also read on here about the lovely quality food people feed their dogs and I feel very bad that he’s getting cheap rubbish dog food.
Also worried he’s not getting the nutrients he needs. That being said, he’s a healthy weight, his coat is soft and shiny and his poops are solid and regular.
Is it worth revisiting raw/kibble or is that unfair on my pooch to give him something that could make him unwell? Should I be supplementing? Am I worrying too much and should I just feed him whatever works for him?
