    As many of you know, I have had a nightmare of a time with Harley's tummy. I sat with the vets for a long time and eliminated many illnesses etc and came up with possible wheat intolerance (had stool samples tested and bloods and urine)
    Bob and Lush food was recommended to me so I did a bit if research and decided to order some samples to see how Harley got on with it. It is coming today so at tea time I'm going to put a small amount in her chicken and rice. I'm going to slowly increase the amount over the next week.
    Fingers crossed this works ;)

    Hope this helps - I'm sure you have had quite enough of the upset stomach by now!

    I do hope this works for you and Harley's tummy settles down.

    I have an irrational hate of upset tummies. It's something I'm constantly aware of and worry about if my dogs eat something they shouldn't. Even just in general I'm waiting for the next bad stomach. I know it's ridiculous but I can't help it I think it's because my old lab had such a dodgy stomach I'm paranoid about it so I completely sympathise with your situation and hope you solve it quickly. ???

    Well, first meal down - she had about 20% of the new food with chicken and rice - she loved it :)

    The best news is that her stools afterwards were still normal, yay :D. I must admit I feel a bit silly checking her stools all the time and constantly updating hubby whilst he is at work.......his workmates thinks I'm mad :/

    Thanks all for you positive comments, fingers crossed ;)

    Hi Naya

    Just wondering how you're getting on with Harley's new food, has her tummy settled down?

    Hi Lauren, Harley loves her new food and we only have one more day of mixed (chicken and rice with new food). So far (touch wood) she has been fine on it :D hopefully she will continue to stay this way......she is even putting on weight at last rather than loosing it! Thank you for asking xx

    Looks like this food is the right one for her (hopefully). Stools are normal and she seems more like herself now :)
