Okay so I did the search engine to find topics and finaly decided to start a new one..... Here it goes.....

Roxie (3) has IBD - she can not eat chicken, lamb or duck. When we got Ruby (1) we had her on Natural Balance Chicken and rice.... PROBLEM: Roxie will not eat unless they are eating the same thing..... We put them on Hills z/d because it seems to work very well with Roxie and her IBD.

Ruby is staining horible now..... on her eyes, around her mouth and in between her paws...... Roxie is not - clean and white...

It's been suggested that Ruby is allergic to something in the z/d - I agree (even though it's one of the most allergen free foods) but of course that would be typical for my Ruby.

I HAVE to find a food that they both can eat but that Roxie can tolerate with her IBD.... Should I go to the Vension and Sweet Potato again? (I had Roxie on that a couple of years ago but she had a flare up so I took her off it thinking it had something to do with it) I know alot of people say it's good for tear stains...

I also don't want the fishy smell - will they have that with the venison?

Thank you again for tolerating my ibd food question.
