after reading the results of feed your dogs and people talking about how they can feed a dog and can't get weight gain thought i would post some findings on dog health from some of my many reaserches on enzymes and probiotics wich i have mentioned before to no avail
EPI - or Exocrine pancreatic insufficiency , is the inability to properly digest food , and absorb nutrients , due to lack of digestive enzymes made by the pancreas . EPI , can present itself in many stages of severity , from a minor mal-absorbtion to literally no absorbtion of food and eventual death from starvation . EPI is most commonly treated with a supplementation of pancreatic enzymes .
SIBO -or small intestinal bacterial overgrowth , occurs in 70 % of animals with EPI . undigested food sits in the digestive tract and is attacked by an overgrowth of bad bacteria . animals with EPI and SIBO are 50% more likely to suffer from B-12 deficiency , making it more difficult to gain weight and can lead to neurological problems . vitamin B-12 and probiotic supplementation is crucial to long term survival rates in epi/sibo animals .
HOPE THIS MIGHT HELP SOME OUT WITH THE DOGS KNOWN AS HARD KEEPERS

Training dogs is not about quantity, it's more about timing, the right situations, and proper guidance...After that it's up to the dog...

proboitics can be obtained at most feed stores and tsc handles them . they come in powder form or a paste . i usually get the powdered kind i use it when i start my pups on solid food to help with digestion . also a good cultered yogurt is a great supply of good bactieria . and after worming the dogs for internal parisites on the grown dogs i'll give em a dose of the powdered probiotics on their feed .
