Enzymes

Hey guys

Was reading a few months ago about needing more enzymes as the dog ages. Well we opened a new bag of 8x diane enzymes and noticed poop went south, was slushy. Was like that for a month. Tried slip elm, doubled his probiotic nothing worked. Tank did not lose weight but his coat was dry was itching alot.

For 8x we use 3/4 teaspoon per cup food. So we started gradual increase increments. This took another month. We hit 1 teaspoon per cup and poop was back to being normal.

We we just opened another 1kg 8x diane enzymes and poop is still good. He is the catch, we dropped enzymes back to 3/4.

Question is it possible a 6x was mislabeled to 8x. Or can the amounts of enzymes fluctuate that much bag to bag.

Thanks

John

The actual analysis numbers are on each package so you can keep track. I had one batch that I had to increase for Sarge and then we went back to normal and did not increase again. Yes they can fluctuate a bit that they would make a difference but most never notice. We have been tagging the packages that are stronger with about how much stronger they are than we normally see so you have an idea of how much to decrease. Some as much as 25%.. Sometimes they will need a few weeks of adjustment then you can go back down. It will depend on the dog.
