I switched to NB Sweet Potato and Fish about 2 months ago. I switched slowly and had no loose stool issues or anything negative. I switched because of allergies and tear stains and all the feedback that I read here. I do see alot less scratching. I was to the point of being ready to take her for allergy testing but I really think I won't have to do that anymore. It could be the new food helped or it could be that it was enviromental triggering the scratching and now her system isn't so overloaded with whatever was causing the itching. But I really don't have a worry about that anymore thankfully. Lexie loves the food and there was no problem switching. I feed generally 1/4 cup twice a day, dry only. I use to free feed but she turned 1 last week and she's a good eater so felt I needed to measure so we don't have any weight issues later on. I also switched due to tear stains but I still don't know if there is any difference there or not. I think it's too early to tell and the old tear stains still being there make it hard to tell. But I def don't think that is any worse and most probably it is better. Now if I was brave enough to clip that old hair and stains away I'd really be able to keep better track. I'm fighting myself almost daily not to cut the hair away that's stained just so it looks better and all the other tips (yogurt, buttermilk powder, Spa Lavish, etc) take too long! I very much just want the hair to keep growing to keep the top knot but maybe I'll get brave and let my groomer see if he can do anything to improve that issue. Sorry if I got a bit carried away on tear stains. :/
Anyway, the food seems just fine and I have no issues with it whatsoever and neither does Lexie.
Good luck to you!
