Hi there, I'm new but wanted to comment. My dog was diagnosed with having an inflammatory bowel when he was about 1. After trying a few different kibbles from the vet and having ongoing issues we consulted a holistic vet. She helped us build a diet for him that has helped his gut heal and that has prevented any further major flares. In terms of triggers, she found that his gut was really sensitive to processed foods and also pesticides/chemicals on the ground in the places we used to walk. Currently we make his food, which I know is not available to everyone and can be risky for the dog if not done properly. Anyway changing his diet has made all the difference. It has honestly changed his life and ours. All the best
