    Hi we have a 15 week old lab pup, have him since 8 weeks old, when we got him he started having diarrhoea and then it was just pure blood. Very put him on royal canin wet food for 4 days and a probiotic, after that he was put on royal canin gastro kibble with a 7 day course of antibiotics, this seemed to work , no blood but poo still soft. We changed him to select gold lamb, salmon potato for sensitive tums but he was still soft and pooing 8 to 10 times a day, we have now changed him to engage which is salmon ,and brown rice he is on it a week now and we got a slow eating bowl we are now down to about 6 times a day but still very soft, what do I do change food again or leave him on it

    It sounds as though his food has been changed a lot already which in itself can upset a puppy's tummy.
    Has the vet checked him for giardia? Has he been wormed?
    I have moved a lot of dogs with soft stools onto raw with great results.

    I agree with 5labs you're changing food waaay too often. Stick with a product for a month or so and see if condition changes. If not, take him to the vet for stool sample. Also reaseach raw feeding. Mine been on it for 5 years now and stools are great.
