food allergy?

[Anita]

My puppy, Lucky, is 10 weeks old. He has always had "mushy" stools and was fed Iam's puppy food and occasional Iams puppy treats. Once he started the treats, we noticed some blood in the stool. Stool culture was normal. The vet suggested that we switch him to California Natural (lamb, brown rice), but he still had loose stools with some blood. So, now we are feeding him straight up boiled rice and chicken and no more blood in the stools. If this is the case, what kind of puppy food can I start to feed him? I'm going to ask the vet as well later this week.

If he's no loner having problems with his stools while eating just the rice and chicken, I would try to find a puppy food that has close to those ingredients. You'll probably have to get something that is pretty expensive. One of the really high quality (but also high price) dog foods. Maybe Orijen Or Innova EVO? I've heard that both of those are *great* dog foods. I don't know much about California Natural so I don't know where that brand fits into the scheme of things... Good luck!
