    dog food giving my dog diarea

    i have a 2 year old female cavalier king charles spaniel. She has been eating the same brand of dog food for a while that was fine, recently we bought a new bag (same brand, same "model";), which gave her diarea. so bought another bag, (same brand and same "model";) which also gave her diarea. Should i be concerned? how come different bags of the same exact dog food dont agree with her stomach?

     It might not be the food that is doing it. When's the last time you had the dog wormed?

     What Julie said, and also - do you know if the company has altered the formula?  They do that and often don't advertise that they have.

    well i dont nkow the detail but im pretty sure when that my parents gave her the old problem-free dog food and she instantly stopped having diarea. and when she got the new one again, she had the diarea once again. im just worried about like unsafe dog food thats all.

    Diarrhea has a boatload of causes...I agree on the worming, parasites are a very common cause of diarrhea. has she been wormed? Outside a lot? Around other animals?

    Compare the ingredient lists on the two bags (not looked up from online, look at what is on the *actual bags*). Has there been any ingredient change at all? Sometimes companies do that without informing customers like Kate said. Some dogs are sensitive to dairy and egg products, corn, wheat, certain protein sources, etc...

    Have you taken the pup to the vet with a fecal sample to test for giardia?
