I get my food from a feed merchants, and like you I tried everwhere to find a food that Joe could eat. Thankfully I found one.
Chill out a bit, open a bottle of wine, your brain is buzzing too much and when like that you can't take information in the same.
Good luck.

Mad dog biting
I've been reading all your messages, and my five month old puppy is still driving me up the wall.
The only thing I can do now the calm her down, and stop biting me, and I mean really biting me (just arms, hands, legs, FEET and jeans) is to put her in her crate for a time out, she goes to sleep, then 30 mins later, let her out, and she lays on the floor for yet more sleep.
I know put her in her crate when she is naughty is a bad thing to do, but I've tried everything just like the first post, apart from playing dead, because I've seen my boyf do that, and he just gets jumped on.
Although, Indy doesn't bite my chap, it's only me. Yet I'm the one doing most of the feeding and walking.
She's currently eating a dry kibble, which we add water to now and again, called 'james wellbeloved' it's great, we changed on recommendation of the puppy training class we went to, as it is Hypo-allergenic. (we stopped the puppy classes just before the end, she learnt more at home, and all the other puppy's just distracted her).
If anyone has any tips on the biting me and not my partner, please post something, as it's driving me mad, and hurts a lot now she has her BIG teeth.
I've tried the long walks so she sleeps, meeting up with her rhodesian ridgeback puppies, so they get all their biting and playing out of the way, I ignore her, I get mad at her, I give her a toy to play with instead of me, my chap stops her which is fine, she listens to him, but what's when he's not around, she after me again!! Can't remember the last time I walked around barefoot in my own home. I do training with her, she stops, does all the sit, stay, down, paw thing for treats, then once the training has stopped, she just goes for me again. We even tried a muzzle, but that was too difficult to put on her, and she just looked like that guy from ‘silence of the lambs’.
She has ALL my attention when she wants it, so doesn’t need to bite me at all.
She misses me when I go to the loo, or out of the room (that’s when she doesn’t follow me everywhere)!
She does it at all times of day, doesn’t matter!!! She’s done it since the day we brought her home, I had the first week off with her when she came home, and he had the second week. What did I do wrong? By the first week, she could sit!
Any help would be great

Hello - my first post!! I have a 14 week Cocker Spaniel called Eddie who is an absolute star, but does have regular 'mad' moments. At first I was quite apprehensive and I took it personally!! Gradually my husband and I have developed a system of responding either by standing up, with our arms folded and looking the other way from him, or to remove either himself or ourselves (which ever is easiest/quickest) from the room for a minute or two. When his behaviour calms down, the 'pack' is reunited and play resumes again. Personally I didn't find distracting him with other toys worked very well: the body language has been the most effective tool and by working with my husband and being consistent, we seem to be having a positive affect on his mad moments.
Eddie has also grown to love 'fetch' games, and I think the finding new challenges like these for him helps him to channel all that excessive energy.
