Duke has been eating Innova EVO for a little over three weeks now. He was eating Purina Naturals previously. Initially it was OK, but this past week he's been having loose stools. Nothing discolored or smelly (as far a poo goes anyway
) and his behaivor and activity level have not changed in any other way. I called the vet, and they told me it was very likely the switch in his diet. This has gone on for about five days now. Has anyone else experienced this?

Yes loose stools is the NUMBER 1 reason for folks to switch off of EVO ... You may want to look into something like Nutro , regular innova , solid gold as they are high quality without the richness

Will he ever get used to it? Is there anything that will 'counter' the richness? I really want to keep him on it because the ingredients seem to be the best as far as I can tell, but I don't want him to suffer through the loose stools for much longer either.

Yeah, I'll give it a try mixing back to what he was eating before. Not to be lazy, but do you still have any links/sorces for the info on the high protein/fat diet? I'm gonna do a search on it too, but I'm just surprised that I didn't come across it already. Thanks again!

umm me is a bit tired ... but I will look a few up ( new puter so i dont have all my favorites yet...

these are raw sites but info is good

www.catinfo.org

www.barfdirect.com

www.omaspride.com


I gave up on the dry when I realized the ASh is way too high as is the cal phos and magnesium for many kitties ( some do exceptional ) ... I currently am doing raw homeade canned not all at the same meal but off an oriental medicine chart based on the animals "issues"
