Typically making bone broth and adding it to the food is not something I recommend doing. The broth can be high in fats that will cause gastrointestinal upset to a dog. This might be vomiting and diarrhea. Also high fat foods can cause pancreatitis in dogs. I would recommend staying with his regular dog food. Hope that helps

Hi there and thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach to address your concern. Brutus could be suffering from a skin allergy or other primary skin condition such as seborrheic dermatitis. I would recommend the below following products, which can all be found online quite easily. I would use these for at least 4-6 weeks before considering something else. This could potentially be related to the diet as well. If there is no improvement with the products below, I would recommend a diet trial with one of the foods listed below as well. These foods will require a prescription so you will need to discuss them with your veterinarian. I hope this helps! Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns and I would be more than happy to help you further. 1. Douxo PS Calm shampoo and bathe twice weekly until resolved then every other week for maintenance 2. Malacetic conditioning spray and apply to the affected area 2-3 times per day until resolved 3. Krillex shed free chews 4. Essential 6 spot on by Dermoscent 5. Royal Canin Ultamino or Hills Z/D

The problem with bouillon cubes is that they are VERY high in sodium. 1 cube has almost the recommended amount of sodium for a human for an entire day! So, I think you are going to have to find another option long term. There are a number of companies that are making "gravies" to put over dog foods. There are also companies that are making "toppers" to add to food. I would recommend going to your local pet food store to see what they carry and trying a couple of options to see what Epic prefers. You may also consider changing foods or adding something like a dehydrated dog food to his diet (like The Honest Kitchen) in case he needs a little variety. Good luck! I hope that was helpful.

Hi, thanks for using Petcoach! Poor Nino! I like probiotics formulated for dogs. My favorite is Purina Fortiflora. If the diarrhea doesn't improve in a couple of days on a probiotic I recommend that you take Nino to the Vet. They can start him on an antibiotic to help! https://www.chewy.com/purina-pro-plan-veterinary-diets/dp/50029?utm_source=google-product

If you decide to do a homecooked diet for Bruiser, you will need to make sure it is a balanced diet. There are a few ways to do that. You could do a consulation with a board certified nutritionist (a veterinarian who has done additional residency training in nurition). One company that offers this service is called Balance It. You can order their vitamin/mineral mix or have a recipe made specially for Bruiser. Another option would be to find a local vet that can help you design a diet for Bruiser. Since I see from your zip code that you are in central Florida, if you are interested in Traditional Chinese Medicine, you might consider seeing Dr. Bartholomew at the Animal Hospital of Dunedin to have him design a diet for Bruiser based on Traditional Chinese Medicine. I hope that answers your question. Thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.
