Hey there, I have a friend with an 11 year old small mixed-breed dog. For the past 2 years he has had bad tartar on his teeth, so much so that the vet has cleaned them every 6 months. Also, when he eats, you hear this awful gassy noise coming from his tummy. He tries to eat grass when this happens to settle it down. The vet has prescribed I/D and he has been on the canned kind for the past year or so. He continues to have these tummy issues.
She is taking the dog to the vet later today to see what's the matter this time since this tummy issue comes up every so often. I want her to ask the vet about changing the diet to something more natural (aka premium food with supplements and off this scrip diet, which seems to be causing more harm than good).
In the meantime, can anyone suggest some supplements she can ask the vet about. I'd like her to switch to something better like Wellness, which can be ordered through a local store or even Nutro, which we can find here. Should she be on a senior formula? I think so.
Thanks for the input!!!
