    Someone swore it would help ours with their boxer farts. Negative. We had the same; diarrhea like crazy for the entire time they were on it. They’re happy on Earthborn Holistic now, and minimal farts. ☺

    Keep it simple, use only ingredients that are dog friendly, personally, my pup lives chicken, chicken livers, green beans sweet potato, carrots and I add a capsule of fish oil to the water, but there are plenty of ingredients to use!

    Red the article people. Not just the headline. There are No reported issues. The company is doing a Good thing here and recalling the food as a precaution due to higher than normal moisture.
    That’s called being Proactive and not reactive.
    Solid job on the company.
