"Hawk" Lytle vom Klatolklin born April 2007, intact male, schutzhund prospect. This dog had parvo as a puppy and had poor digestion ever since, UNTIL vetraceuticals. He had eaten several brands of food, and various digestive aids. I had tried him on 2 different types of dehydrated raw (honest kitchen and NDF2) and multiple brands of kibble trying to stop the extremely loose stools. We also could not keep weight on him, he was one of those very tall and lanky shepherds. The vet had him listed at 10 lbs underweight about a week before we started vetraceuticals (48 lbs at about 10 months old). When we first started the formula he was eating Honest Kitchen Thrive, but I was switching him to Royal Canin GSD. Within a few days his stools were appearing more normal, within weeks he had gained 10 lbs and for the most part his stools were completely normal (we only had a few loose stools here and there verses all the time). His coat looked better then ever, and he was eating less food but absorbing more of it. 4 months after starting Vetraceuticals I switched him to an entirely raw food (with his 1/2 brother Phoenix) and he has done very well with it. No more stool problems, his coat continues to look wonderful, and he has maintained his weight very well. He continues to lick the bottom of the bowl to make sure he gets every last lick of the powder!
