After California Natural didn't seem to be sitting well with Maya, I did some research here and decided to switch to Innova. Now I'm wondering if Innova isn't the right food for her either. She's been less than enthusiastic to eat her food, and a dog trainer mentioned the fat percentage might be too high for her.
I noticed a softening of stools that turned to diarrhea a few days ago. I let her stomach rest, then just fed her a poached chicken breast and some white rice. This morning, her poop was firm with a little liquid at the end. I thought she was one the mend, although I came to find a pool of diarrhea in the living room.
Poor dog (and poor me, I thought when cleaning it up!) I know there is a lot in trying to figure out what is going on with dogs and diarrhea, but would it be worth it to switch from Innova to something else? Flint River and Blue Buffalo were two recommendations.
About a month ago my puppy started having progressively worse diarrhea. In working with the vet we figured out he was having an allergic reaction to his food. He had always been a little itchy and we could never figure out why, his food turned out to be the cause of that as well.
We switched him over to Orijen Puppy and he's been doing great, stools are firm and smaller. They also don't smell nearly as bad and his gas(which had previously been horrendous and frequent) has nearly vanished.

Just another grain-free to add to your list: Evo. It's also made by Natura. I currently feed raw, but my parents' dog is kibble fed and has done well on Evo.
