I wasn't trying to bash the food although now I know I will NEVER feed it again To each his own I wasn't getting the results I wanted so I switched and every thing looking good now so I know it was the food
The main reason I didn't want anyone to loose a dog over a bad batch of food
Good luck feeding Diamond

I feed diamond to 4 dogs here my dad feed 3 at his house and my uncle 1 dog at his. Anywhere from coonhound, beagle, great dane, and lab. Never any trouble.. We did have trouble with milk bones not a diamond brand but dogs had runs when we were using milk bones as treats. Vet suggested those as a problem sometimes. I also wouldnt do Hi Protien unless dogs are very active I have see that cause extra stool not so much runs.

I fed diamond naturals for awhile and then the dog started losing weight, so I switched. while it was working it kept their weight up, solid stools, energy, etc.

I also wouldnt put a dog down because old and loosing weight. Uncle had a birdog like you are talking about at 12yrs old lost weight wouldnt eat. Cant remember what Vet said but told him he needed to switch to soft food and he did. she bounced back and hunted that year and the next before we retired her from hunting but she lived 2 months shy of 15yrs. O ya that dog ate diamond whole life till switched to soft stuff. Also 2 of our beagles are 12 and still hunting good on diamond their whole life.

Have you asked a vet or searched internet about green diahrea in dogs? I just did and most things say green tint in it is a sign of viral problem or parasite called gardia. Might want to call and ask a vet about it being green.

Thanks troy
There is no need to call a vet or have the dogs checked out I switched food and there stool has cleared up still a little soft but a lot better than it was
Like I said I will NOT be feeding Diamond again it didn't work for me if you choose to feed it that is great
Everyone has there choice on feed and Diamond is not mine!!
I did ALOT of research on the Net Diamond is a good food it just isn't good for my dogs
