QuestionI have adopted a rescue dog and am having difficulty in finding the right diet. His stools are always mushy regardless of any type of food I give him. Dry (Science Diet)or rice with cooked or raw meat and other good brands of dog food. Can you help please? He is a very healthy dog otherwise.
AnswerHi - Well, make sure this kid has no worms or parasites.... Otherwise, a good food will help - Look for a brand that has NO grain :
such as Wellness Core, Innova EVO, SoJO is great :

You can add some pure canned pumpkin to the diet. Just 1-2 tablespoons per day will help to firm up the stools.
ADDS bulk to the stool.
I sure hope this helps...
