A question for those out there reading. Bernie was brought home just over 2 weeks ago with a small bag of his own food (Beneful). I'd already purchased Nutro Natural Choice Lamb and Rice. Being the beagle that he somewhat resembles, he's been scarfing the Nutro happily. Of course when I went back to get more, there was no lamb and rice, so I picked up the other Nutro Puppy food chicken, rice, and oatmeal. Again he scarfed it happily, but with some really odd changes to behaviour. He was starving ALL the time, poops were grossly slimey, and he seemed to be a hyperactive barracuda. I've since put him back on the Lamb & Rice, and it's taken a day to "firm things up" again. Behavior is back to "normal" LOL, and besides devouring a huge raw carrot while hiding under the couch, he's slightly better behaved.
Any particular reason he'd have such a reaction to puppy food by the same supplier/maker? He's not quite 10 weeks, but he didn't have a bowel issue changing off of the Beneful.
He does get a little bit of "wet" Caesar with his last meal of the night (11 pm) and he's great til 7 am when he gets out for his pee. He gets around 1 3/4 cups of dry per day (with some portion of that used as treats).
Sorry for the novel, just wondering how to keep a barracuda fed! Kym
