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

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).

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.

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

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.
