hmmm did not see ingredients but if it is working then that is the most important thing but i know my dex cannot eat white potato and internal medicine specialist and vet said alot dogs cannot tolerate white potato and also nutritionist as well. I always say if it is not broke do not fix it
. I learned about dex as he got pancreatitis on ivd white fish and potato diet and he has ibd in small intestines so when they get inflamed a dog vomits and it can trigger pancreatitis. If in large intestines dog has diarhea mostly and dex never had diarhea. I pill dd with white potato so when dex was on ultra zd he did great but itched like crazy so we put him on dd salmon and potato and he started vomitting again and back to hospital. Now since purina ha no vomitting in 2 years except recent car sickness once. When he was on dd salmon and potato i would give him a little potato with dd when she was being pilled and within a few days he vomitted and all that came up was chunks of white potato and off to hospital as when he vomits he does not stop usually. This is how i personally learned white potato is a problem. Usually they will vomit up if small intestines what body will not digest and with dd we now know she cannot tolerate chicken as i was doing chicken and rice and she pooped the chicken whole at other end and ims said that is because the whole digestive tract is inflamed and she cannot tolerate chicken and why it came out whole. Due to me feeding it to her for 5-7 days it inflamed her digestive tract after metacam fiasco. Food allergies and ibd go hand in hand so a dog that has allergies tends to have ibd. Dex does not but he has high triglycerides which is high fat in blood naturally leaving him exposed to pancreatitis and he cannot tolerate potato as well. I have dogs with issues big time in my two yorkies -- oh and also i was giving demi who is real healthy some potato at the same time and she vomits it up too so dd can eat it no prob and dex and demi vomit it up any time i have given them white potato - another reason i know it can be a culprit but not in all dogs you just have to figure out what works best for your dogs digestion
