Ollie is now 19 months old and huge! We eventually found that Burns Chicken and Brown Rice suited him best and both of our Bernese are on this now as they are both prone to diarrhoea. I also give them Burns Kelties for treats. I think it's just a case of finding the right food to suit your dog - what suits one might not suit another. It took us a long time to get there and we were just worried there was an underlying problem that was causing the diarrhoea.

The only time Ollie gets diarrhoea now is if he eats something he finds when we're out walking in the woods (he's the worlds worst for this!).

Hope that Pudding gets over his diarrhoea - sounds like you're doing all the right things anyway. You'll probably find things improve as he gets a bit older.

Hi,
I was reading about the diarrhoea issues with your dogs. My Yukon had diarrhoea from day one. Finally at 5 months I switched him to a raw diet along with my other dog. Within a day and 1/2 the diarrhoea was gone and has never come back. He loves it. He is 61/2 months now, weighs 59 lbs and looks great. My other dog suffered from ear infections all the time. His ears have cleared up and for a 10 year old dog his teeth look great. I wish I had done it sooner. Good luck with your doggies.
