Bad gas with wellness puppy food

My breeder recommended Eukanuba small breed puppy just for the fact that the puppies don't get gas. she feeds it to all her puppies. Emma has never had any problem with gas. Another one she recommended was the new President's Choice Nutrience First (I think it is called). I tried Emmma on this for a little bit because she wasn't eating the Eukanuba and had no problems with gas. I had to put her back on the Eukanuba because she decided she wanted it and spit out the other food. You can find the Eukanuba in pet stores and possibly Wal-Mart. President Choice is available at Zehrs and possibly the No Frills stores. If Roy B is still getting gas after two months on the food, I would try him on something else, gradually increasing the amount of the new food to the decreasing amount of the Wellness.

 

Ginny had gas when I was transitioning her over to Wellness and a little bit of diarrhea. The diarrhea only lasted approx. 1 day and really wasn't that bad, I just slowed the transitioning so as not to upset her system too much. The gas went away soon after the transitioning was complete. Both of my dogs are doing really great on Wellness and love it.

 

I have had no problem with the big D so far on Wellness with either of mine.

 

I just finished Vash's switch over to wellness a week ago. He seems to be doing well on the product.

That said, he doesn't seem to be as intrested in Wellness now that the switch over is complete. He's a very food motivated puppy, and when I give him his food there are times when he will leave the food and want to play with me instead. Eventually I'll have to put him into his play pen and that is when he'll begin eating the food, or if I stick it in a toy for him to play with.

The funny thing is he'd tear a hole in space time to eat a bowl of the old pro plan he was on.

I'm thinking that we'll finish out his puppy years on the wellness just to avoid another abrubt change while he under goes training and his upcomming de-maning. After that I'm probably going to be shopping around for something that's good for him, and something he'll go head over heels to eat.

 

If he's just having gas after the switch over I'd say give it a week or two, the gas will go away. I too was concerned about Ginny's gas (she could clear a room), I was worried she might have a parasite, but gave it some time and it went away.

As far as I know, Wellness is a much higher quality food than Pro Plan, which is probably why Vash isn't as interested in it. Its probably like switching from eating fast food daily, to eating healthy, well balanced meals.

 

I'm sure Layla would have gas if I fed her roses! How can something so sweet and beautiful smell so awful?
