Question
Hi, we have a lovely 14 week old English Bulldog bitch. She is currently on kibble (chicken and riceand other snacks rice pud etc. Her poo is soft and not formend could you recommend a dried dog food for her breed?

Answer
Cut out the snacks for one thing. If you want to give her treats, give them sparingly and just use a quality biscuit, like California Natural or something similar.

The chicken and rice kibble should be fine as long as it's a puppy food, not adult. Also, not a large breed formula. Purina Puppy Chow is what I always use and never have poo problems. There are many quality diets on the market these days. Just find one and stick with it. Don't change her diet every month or so. You might also have a fecal exam done at the vet just to be sure she's not carrying around parasites or coccidia. Both of these will cause loose stools.
