We've used Wysong for our pets in the past and never have been disappointed. The quality of ingredients is second to none - in addition to there being very few ingredients that are not "prey oriented." On top of that, the food is meant to be consumed by dogs and cats - this is especially great for households with both cats and dogs because dogs always want cat food and cats always want dog food. Our Lab/Hound mix always eats from the cat bowl acting like she got something special, while our 7-pound older kitten makes the other dog wait in line for her meal.To address the complaints regarding loose stool...this food is intense from a caloric standpoint. It is a very nutrient, protein-dense food. When switching from a standard diet that is less prey/meat-oriented, it is extremely important to switch slowly. Another thing to mention is that your pets' stool will NOT be super hard as this is not desired. You will have more of a soft-serve consistency with less waste. This is actually better for your pet. There are no true "binders" in this food, which is why your pets' waste isn't as closely bound. We have a Pit/Lab mix with a tender stomach and she took about 2 weeks to fully adjust to the food, even after mixing the recommended ratios. It's important to keep at it and don't waffle between diets with pets that have sensitive stomachs with this type of diet. We had a couple of accidents in the morning but after 6 weeks of being on the food, she is completely fine and her gut health is great. Note: I am not a vet but I play one on TV. :-)
