puppy poop
My 4month old is having random motions, theyre usually sloppy, rarely solid. She was on Hills puppy biscuits but really didnt like them so i changed her to wet food and is on pedigree puppy tins twice a day. She is a munchkin tho and will dive in on any scraps the kids drop. Should they be solid now and brown coloured? as hers can vary from green to light brown

Re: puppy poop
When you changed her from the biscuits to wet food, was the change sudden because i've experienced myself that a sudden change of food can take a while for a dog to get used to and have come across rather weird coloured poo's and different textures (to put it nicely).

Re: puppy poop
Personally I don't like wet food at all - it's about 80% water so you have to feed more of it to get the right amount of nutrition. Also, pedigree is not a good food!
As already said, if you changed over suddenly that could cause a stomach upset. I would try and find a good, decently priced dry food and gradually change her over - try a fish based food, they smell & taste quite strong which pups often like. Fish4dogs is quite a good one.

Re: puppy poop
you could try mixing wet food in with biscuit, around 20% wet to biscuit mix, can stop runny poo and entice a fussy eater. we use a casserole mix as marley hates the jelly

Re: puppy poop
I feed mine on wet food, there's good wet food and there's bad wet food.
Pedigree is amongst the bad ones.
Pups can have sensitive tums, a change in diet can upset the tums for a few days, usually ud mix the new with the old food to introduce it slowly for a smooth transition.
Personally I can recommend Wainwrights Trays, they are hypoallergenic and 65% meat content. No fillers... And not expensive IMO.
