Help, please! Runny stool

• labcrab Posted : 9/29/2006 10:15:56 AM Again, thanks for all the help.  I got scared because I didn't realize that a premium food could upset their tummies like that.  And I did mix with the Nutro for while to transition them slowly and avoid stomach upset.  [&o]   Yeah, depending on how long the dog has been on "less than premium" food the change can really do a number on the GIT.   Think about it, now they actually have to produce digestive enzymes!   and absorb nutrients!!  It can be quite upsetting to a digestive system that has never had to work for a living.   Oh, also - oddly enough.. I've been reading that it seems to be the WORST when transitioning off of Nutro for some reason.  0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

I've been reading that it seems to be the WORST when transitioning off of Nutro for some reason.        Yeah, that's what Xebby said.  What is it about Nutro?  Wow!  Our dogs seemed to doing well on the Nutro, but now, I'm determined to get them off of it!  Well, if the stools normalize, I'll stick with Innova, if not, I'll try something else.  0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• loveukaykay Posted : 9/29/2006 11:01:34 AM How much do your dogs weigh?   I just thought the regualr Innova chunks were too big so I got Bailey the small bites.  She only gets 1 cup 2x day.  She is 35lbs.  She is getting a puppy serving though.   I wouldnt think your dogs would be getting much more than 2 cups a day unless Im judging their size way off from the pictures.  Maybe try the small bites for less gas?[] 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• ladiebug Posted : 9/29/2006 11:16:37 AM Peanut, mix, weighs 66 lbs., last time I weighed Draico, he was 57 lbs. I gave them 1 1/2 cups 2 times a day to start, but they didn't finish it (they don't seem to like the Innova).  Our dogs don't inhale their food, they walk away when they've had enough.  So, I thought they were OK. This morning I gave them each 1 cup only, they didn't finish it.  We'll see, like I said I'll keep trying. 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.
