Well after one year of problems with Diamond Natural I am happy to say switching dog foods corrected all the problems I had 2 dogs with chronic bad stools and most everyone else with yucky stools. I really thought my 2 older girls were developing IBD. The constant shedding has also stopped. I thought I would loose my mind with the 3 house dogs growing and shedding at the same time. The dogs out side did the same thing- Finally they started refusing to eat it. I fed the chicken and the lamb to other dogs. I am feeding Exceed chicken(3 months) and they look great and coats are shining and although they are starting their spring shed they stopped the constant shedding. All have great stools including the 2 with chronic problems. I spent a fortune on medications for them . They are eating well, in good weight and it is affordable for me I wish I had changed a long time ago. The thing that irritates me the most is I was considering putting my old girl down because I could not get her diarrhea stopped. I talked to the company twice telling them the problems and they denied knowing of any other people with the same problems and yet I knew others were calling and complaining too.
