dog weight/food/stool

Question
My 2 small Shih Tzu are slightly overweight and I want to control the gain before they become heavy.  They are 8 and 13 pounds, both are less than two yrs old.  They play a lot and walk at least 2 miles 6 day/wk.  I recently changed them from Science Diet adult small kibble to a 50/50 blend of that and the same brand diet kibble.  They have so many bowel movements now that  I can't believe that is good for them.  Which lower calorie food do you recommend for less stool?  Thanks for you answer.

Answer
Hello Jera:  I would not use the Science Diet - too many fillers in it.
How about we go to Innova Adult and Innova Senior Formula...Mix the two of them 50/50..  You will need to do this slowly...
Go with your old mix 1/2 the amount and do the NEW Innova Mix 1/2 the amount for 2 weeks.  Then, go total Innova Mix - YOU will be feeding less Innova and see smaller poops.  Innova is condensed goodness!!!  GREAT stuff.
You can also treat them to some Innova Canned - one teaspoon on top of the dry food - every OTHER day.

Also, let's get the started on NuVET Plus -  Excellent for a Healthy Immune System - Will help to keep the weight off of them.. GREAT in the Digestion Process.

They will need One Wafer treat per day - Cost is about .55 cents per day, per doggie.
