[QUOTE=les] I switched the dogs cold turkey to Royal Canin but [QUOTE]
It could very well be that they just haven't been on a single food long enough recently to see how they will stabilize on it. I noted that you switched fast on to the RC...and just recently tossed in a new food ... DVP maybe, I might have lost track in the thread.
I wouldn't be surprised to see things that might indicate an improvement (no runs) with a new food in the first couple of days if they were switched fast...the body sort of goes into shock. Then a couple of days later...bam, you see the results of the switch. That doesn't mean they won't do good on the food in the long term, but some dogs just can't adapt fast.
Harley is a pain when it comes to food...I've had to take WEEKS to switch her fully on to something new. I lucked out with the Solid Gold. Transferred her on to that from the Nutro over the course of a month and a half and haven't had to look back since.
In my experience...any switch of food has to be very slow and easy.
