Hi how do I calculate the dried matter basis for the food to ensure I have the correct fat content as our dog has pancreatitis

Thus has been very interesting to see these comments as my 3year old Tibeta Terrier is experiencing the exact same symptoms. I have contacted Buttternut bix and they insist nothing has changed. I can only assume now that she had developed an intolerance to the ingredients or something is wrong with the food. Some of the packets sent last time were defrosted but still very cold. I’m really unsure what to think. She is up to date with worming, and has had blood tests for weight loss. Nothing to suggest anything really wrong.

Couple of the ingredients could be harmful to your staffy, like maze gluten, even yeast cell walls. And vegetable gravy can be questionable too, depends how processed it is. I'd be happy to have chat with you regarding your staffy's diet

Exact same situation here. Loved it for about a year and the past 2 weeks his poops have been awful. Now trying to find something else!

Our 1 year old dog has been on butternut box for about 9 months and he loves it, but recently (past 2-3 weeks) his poops have been really soft and mucus covered, or just straight up diharrea. Based on lots of other recent comments here I’m wondering if they’ve had bad batches or changed the recipe. Either way now looking to change him onto something else which is hassle! Such a shame as he loves the food but it’s the only thing he eats so I know it must be the food that’s giving him dodgy poops.
