Lola is currently on Harringtons turkey with veg.

http://www.harringtonsdogfood.co.uk/

She loves the food and hasnt gone off it but the last 10days or so her poo's have been so soft I cant pick them up with the occasional pure diarrhea.

The vet said not to worry as long as her first one was ok (which it is)
Should I just add some eggs into her diet or should I switch her onto raw??

Any advice greatly appreciated Smile

Had similar issues, I feed Fish4Dogs now but it has been trial and error in finding a food that suited her.

TBH I would reccomend feeding raw, appears so much better, but, it doesn't suit me so finding a Dry brand that did worked for me Smile

I'm gonna put her on plain brown rice, chicken and eggs for a few days then VERY VERY slowly add in her normal food.
Do you think that will help??

Try it, I just ran with soft poo for a few months, well the day would start solid and gradually get worse!

Now she is on fish it has really helped, trial and error and great advice here from taking her off poultry Xx

Harrington's do have a salmon & potato varient and a lamb.

If the turkey doesnt go down well I'll try switching to another flavour

Thank you Smile

If you want to feed raw i'd say go for it! I wouldn't feed anything else.

I also feed mine raw and have no plans to ever go back to even the highest grade kibble! Mine love it and thrive on it. They go bonkers for their food. Big Grin
