I am so sorry you lost your sweet pup. I agree, this group is a life saver. I lost my Tucker to cancer in November, and he was only nine. I still miss him so much. I have recently adopted Nina, a GSD who has EPI. Her family was desperate to find a home for her. She is beautiful, I know how to take c...

I just saw a conversation about enzyme icing, and I thought I'd add my two cents. I take little treats, made by Mother Hubbard ---5.5% fiber, and good grains, but she only gets a couple each day & they are small. I add more enzymes than the recipe calls for & I actually dip the whole treat i...

Hi Andrea. I've been a little distracted, settling Nina into our family, but I was wondering how things are going with you guys? I am sorry to see that you may be dealing with IBD. During Covid, our Maltipoo started having diarrhea, so we did a drive-up to the vet. He took her inside, looked at her ...

Hi and welcome. Taste of the Wild High Prairie is maximum 4% fiber. I fed it to Tucker, and he did well on it, and I have started Nina on it, too. There are some peas in it, but they are listed 5th, just like the Pacific Stream recipe. Pacific Stream does not contain eggs, chicken, and some other th...

To be clear---How many 00 enteric coated capsules filled 3/4 of the way, have the same effect as one teaspoon of 6X enzymes? In other words, with two cups of food, do I give two capsules, or four? I am just now getting to this, with Nina being here for just a week and a half. She's doing great, BTW,...

Kelly, just in case, like in my circumstances, the cost of the official test is prohibitive for you, you can buy this test. It is not definitive, but if her condition is not EPI, you will find that out. https://enzymediane.com/product/schebo-pancreas-elastase-1-quick-canine-test/ I used it on Tucker...

I'm making a choice to give Nina one slippery elm capsule, and to start transitioning her to grain-free TOW. I gave SE last night, and her poop was about half the amount.

I tried making capsules when Tucker was sick, but 4 teaspoons enzymes/day is a lot of capsules. I ended up being given some Creon capsules , and I agree that was nice, but also outrageously expensive, here. It's always nice to hear what works for different people. Sometimes you can get ideas for dog...

It all makes sense! The connection between gut health & the immune system, plus all the stress of everything. Here in FL, though, you have to protect from heart worms. The Seresto Collar stays on for months, but next time I do the revolution I'll take it off for a day or so. However, this girl i...

So I did skip B12 tonight, but even if she has firm stool tomorrow I won't be able to assume that was the culprit. Her B12 is low & she needs it. I did put in an order for TOW grain-free, and at some point I'll transition over to it. Her poop wasn't awful, a bit like soft serve, but there was a ...
