Rhody's stomach has been an issue for years. I've tried a bunch of different foods to get him to crap the way that a dog should, and in the meantime have lost years of my life. This summer I got tired of home-cooking his meals and decided that a high protein low carb and possibly grain free diet would work. Why? Because he's complicated, so I figured a complicated food would go well with him. The first was working on the stomach, but not on his bladder. The protein count was over 40% and he was peeing a lot more then usual. I decided to switch to a lower percentage of protein and for the past few weeks we are doing well. He's been eating Wellness Core Turkey. He LOVES the food and his stomach seems to be able to handle it. He's not waking me up to go pee in the middle of the night and the most exciting result is that I CAN NOT REMEMBER THE LAST TIME HE LICKED HIS BUTT!! This is HUGE news. Rhody spent a good two years licking his butt. I am not even kidding! Pooping right and no butt licking are huge accomplishments. I think we are onto something. If I can only get him to stop licking his paws. Baby steps...baby steps...
