I know it was a while since you posted but as no one has answered.

BARF - Biologically appropriate raw food. raw meat essentially. kibble contains lots of ingredients that you don't know about. Perhaps your dog has a slight allergy.

As a first step try giving some fish or tinned Chappie and see what happens. From this you can move onto a Raw Meat Bone diet if you wish.

Hello Louise.

I have read up, that feeding a dog before a walk gives the bloat - Which can be very lethal. Like said, it's best to feed them after walks instead of before - too stop this from happening. xxx

Glad to hear that the change in diet has seen your GSD improve.

The answer to your question is yes, they can suffer from a Pancreatic Enzyme Insufficiency (PEI) which is a digestive problem, where the Pancreas does not produce sufficient digestive enzymes which results in poor nutrient absorption.

However, none of mine to date have had this problem.
