Help Cereal free diet ?? How much protein ??
Hi everyone ! So my chow Laika's 7 month now she just started her period (proud mama here ) and I just have a few questions about her food.
I've been giving her TOTW for about a month now and I noticed she poop a lot more than before and the consistency isn't great (she was on Royal Canin I don't know if you guys have that brand in north america it's basically low protein and it contains cereals), is it because of her new cereal free diet ? Should I pursue with it or switch to an other brand perhaps ?
Is a cereal free diet even recommended for chow ?
So the TOTW have about 29% of protein and I've seen a vet pharmacian who told me about an other Carnilove (same thing as the royal canin I don't know if you are familiar with that brand) which contains more proteins, 38% to be exact, is it too much ? Because I can't find anywhere the right amount for a chow, I take her out for about 1h 1h30 per day depending on her motivation and the rest of the day she sleeps or play so I don't know ? Could you tell me the right amount of protein recommended ?
Okay so I think it's enough
Thank you so much for your responses

Re: Help Cereal free diet ?? How much protein ??
Royal canin and Science Diet never worked for Chestnut. The heavy grain gave her so much yeasty skin problems. He poop was also a lot, too often and too yellow. she was not absorbing anything. Give her crude protein a minimum of 28% and fat about 15-17% maybe. I tried Orijen Puppy Large Breed until she was 18 months old with 38% protein but her poop was too soft like pudding.
After all the rotations and searches the best balance for her was Petcurean's Go sensitivity and Shine in Venison 22% protein and Turkey Recipe 30% protein. They are all potato and grain free. The Go! variants are for adult dogs only though so do not give till she is a minimum of 13 months old.
If she has no bad reaction to Taste of the Wild puppy formula or all life stages please continue giving it to her. I love that it is grain free
