Food problems again!

It seems like an endless battle to try to find a food that Mya will do well on. She was doing great with Holistic Blend until June of this year. The change happened at the same time that they changed their packaging. The company said they didn't change their ingredients, well, actually they said "we only use natural ingredients". So, after eating 2 bags of it, it was time for a change. I tried her on Foundations by Petcurean. The diahreah cleared up a bit, but the rest of the symptoms seamed to get worse :(


Then after talking to several people, we decided to try a grain free diet. But remember, she can't eat chicken either. So, there weren't too many choices and I'm just not ready to try raw yet. We decided on Timberwolf Organics, Ocean Blue. Here are the ingredients:


White Fish Meal, Salmon, Potatoes, Salmon Oil, Dried Kelp, Dehydrated Alfalfa Leaf, Potassium Chloride, Carrot, Watercress, Spinach, Celery, Parsley, Fennel Seed, Blueberries, Cranberries, Pears, Figs, Thyme, Anise Seed, Ground Cinnamon Bark, Fenugreek, Garlic, Sunflower Seeds, Sesame Seeds, Apples, Taurine, Choline Chloride, Lecithin, Lactobacillus Acidophilus, Lactobacillus Casei, Lactobacillus Lactis, Bacillus Bifidum, Bacillus Subtillus, Taurine, Mixed Tocopherols (a source of vitamin E), Lysine, Zinc Proteinate, Iron Proteinate, Manganese Proteinate, Thiamine, Methionine, Carnitine, Niacin, Vitamin A Supplement, Calcium Pantothenate, Riboflavin Supplement, Vitamin B12 Supplement, Iodine Proteinate, Vitamin D3 Supplement, Biotin, Folic Acid, Pyridoxine (a source of vitamin B6), Papain, Yucca Schidigera Extract.
It should take about 4 to 6 weeks to see a huge difference. And with a cost of $83 (including taxes) it's not a cheap option to say the least. I just hope that this food will work well. And remember, no treat for her during this testing time either :(
