Hi everyone.

We currently have 2 GSD puppies.  My little girl is almost 18 weeks and the little boy is almost 11 weeks.

We are currently feeding both puppies Large Breed Puppy Orijen.

Both puppies seem to have a B12 defieicency and are curently getting shots for that.  Both have had bouts of loose stools.  The vet believed the girl to have grain issues (which is why we went with the grain free food) but now the vet feels the boy might have an issue with chicken (he has recently developed some bad diarhhea).  We had started subbing in some Deli Fresh with the kibble but stopped that when the stools got worse.  The vet is recommending a switch to a lamb based kibble instead of a chicken based one.

We were looking at the Acana Grasslands, but it is a lifestages formula and not specifically for puppies.  Doeas anyone have any advice on foods they could share with us?

Thanks!

Look at EVO large bits red meat formula. Dogs are carnivors and do best on a meat based diet. Try some natural ground beef also.  Also take a look at Canine Complete.  It isa supplement that provides all the nutriants that your dog food doesn't provide
