Thanks Melt, Eukanuba low residue sounds the way to go. The vet suggested I try that, so now that I know that someone else has had really good results with it, I will definintely get some. The reason I hesitated is because someone told me that low residue Eukanuba is not a complete diet. Can you please tell me if the packet says it is a complete diet? Thanks again

Thanks for the suggestions re the Eukanuba but that is all she gets now. She doesn't scavenge food from the backyard but will chew sticks and consume parts of them etc. I have removed all plastic bottles that I used to give them to play with as she used to chew those too. I thought it might have been something to do with the diet so I recently changed to 50:50 Eukanuba and Proplan but she has still had outbreaks of colitis. I would like to know whether anyone else has some "miracle" additive which can control this condition.

My GSD has had blood in her droppings and vet has diagnosed colitis, which I know is inflammation of the bowel. She is a dreadful scavenger - chews plastic, wood and scavenges bird poo off the path etc. so its no wonder she has it. Before anyone suggests that the blood might be worms or coccidiosis - forget it - its not - been checked. Can anyone suggest good management strategies or additives which can help for colitis?
