After trying many well known brands (rated by pet shops & vet promoted) we still had a skinny GSD pup with cowpat stools/diarrhea. Vet recommendation of chicken & rice just made the situation worse & he got so upset when he didn't quite make it outside to go. Searching the internet for answers I came across this site & after careful consideration I chose AKELA duck/salmon dry kibble. From the 3rd day his stools were fully formed for the first time in over 12 months, within a few weeks his body gained weight & looked completely healthy, happy & had the energy a pup should have. As he's got older & we've got wiser, an allergy/DNA test confirms he is highly allergic to chicken, plus turkey, grain & a whole list of other foods, so we have eliminated any chicken etc & grain from his diet. We have introduced raw duck/beef/lamb to his dry kibble which he absolutely devours. We also feed our Scottie guests same kibble although he's not keen on the raw foods lol. Highly recommend this brand.

Absolutely love the dry food! Our GSD has suffered with loose bowels since we got him, even after continuing breeders guide. Tried several pet shop approved (canin, james well beloved, beta, raw food etc) to no avail. After a really bad episode vet suggested plain chicken & rice for a week to clear his system as he wasn't gaining weight. Unfortunately this seemed to make it worse & instead of cow pacs I ended up with liquid squirts! I decided to do some online research about the best food & came across a recommendation for Akela. I thought I'd give it a last attempt before having the vet do some costly investigation. By now my poor GSD was nearly 2 & skinny! His toilet motions were switching from softly formed to cow pac on a weekly basis plus he was so fussy even turning his nose up at a piece of steak! So I put Akela in his bowl & at first he turned his nose away & my hopes deflated, but an hour later the bowl was empty. A week later & he had fully formed solid poo for the first time ever, I wanted to celebrate! He is now almost 4yrs & so healthy, his coat is glossy & his body weight is perfect & no more cow pacs but fully formed & solid. So I changed both my chesty (westie/chihuahua) & scottie over to Akela too & they both seem healthier too. I wouldn't use anything else now I have 3 healthy happy dogs.
