i need help finding new food

[dagney's mom]

my puppy dagney is almost 7 months old. He was on Nutro lamb and rice (dry and wet), but he was having alot of runny and loose stool. Over a couple of weeks we started him on Solid gold. His stool is still soft and he has diarrhea alot. Any suggestions?? I should mention that all of dagney's stool samples at the vet have been normal.+

Try reducing the amount of food you feed the dog at each meal. This will help.

I had the same problem with my dog Clyde at about that age. I tried many different dog foods. The one that I finally did not have any more runny stools with is Wellness with lamb or chicken. He has been eating that for about a year now with no more problems. Good Luck.....

i was told to put him on two days of chicken and rice and then canidae dry food... he gets about 2 cups of dry in the morning and 2 1/2 cups dry for dinner. is this too much food?

I can vouch for. .

. . .wellness. It is human grade and baked. There are no preservatives and it tastes good. Tomi looooved it He went ballistic for my roomates food at that time and then I decided to change his food and he FELL IN LOOVE with it. The recommended daily dosage is one cup in the morning and one cup at night time. They have a great puppy mix out and I believe the portions for puppies are a little higher. Gradually, he should be switched off of puppy food..with age. I would try it. It is a tad on the $$ side. For me anyways since I am a student.
Good luck

P.S., as far as the chicken and rice. Yes, that is good to get his tummy set straight, but I have never heard of canidae dry food. Best bit of advice to you..do your research on ALL dog food. There is sooo much false marketing out there about how good one food is VS another. Be careful, there is a lot of (excusee the verbage) SHIT food out there that claims to be good. I did my research on wellness and that is why I can speak to you about it from experience.

people on the message boards seem to have alot of success with the canidae food. i already bought a bag, so if it doesn't work, i'll switch to wellness.
