... I want to talk about poo! What type of food can you feed to a puppy (11 weeks old) to help lead to firmer poos? He doesn't have the runs or anything but his poos are quite often at the loose end of the spectrum which makes for some messy poo bag collection and use of the watering can / hose afterwards on the lawn to try to disipate the remainder. Yuk!
Re: It's like being back at junior school ... A common topic. You missed the usual lunchtime spot though. Not sure I know the answer to this, but we tried a few foods in the early days and were mostly getting loose poops. Not sure if it may just be a puppy thing? Think we need someone with a bit more experience to comment. Which food are you using at the moment?
Re: It's like being back at junior school ... For us it was trying different foods until 1. She liked the food and 2. Her poo was more firm. We settled on royal canin and this has done the job. No soggy poos and hose needed any more [quote author=UncleBob link=topic=3258.msg35021#msg35021 date=1384209921] ... I want to talk about poo!

Re: It's like being back at junior school ... http://www.animeddirect.co.uk/protexin-pro-fibre-for-dogs-500g.html?gclid=CL6yzsPk3roCFRMctAodbjQAAA I used the above for my dog when she was a pup, this worked a lot better than trying lots of different foods which is IMO a waste of money on pups as they do tend to have delicate stomachs at than age regardless of what you feed them and changing their food all the time helps even less.
