Re: help please
I'm not familar with Weebox, I'm not sure if it's available over here. I had a quick look online. There are a lot better foods you could be feeding in my opinion.
If the change has happened in his toilet habits since changing to this I'd suggest getting off it gradually.
I feed Jame Wellbeloved, it's well priced and hypoallergenic. Logan is thriving on it, every aspect of his health and behaviour has improved since going on to this brand.

Food needs to be gradually changed by slowly increasing the new food mixed in with decreasing amounts of the old food over about 5-7 days. If not they get upset stomachs

Webbox is not a good food. A quality food like wainwrights would be alot better. You will find his poo will go solid but introduce any new food gradually

Re: help please
It's a matter of trial and error with feeding, basically buy the best quality you can afford, but remember that just because it's expensive doesn't mean it's good.
Look for food with meat as the first and main ingredient. Very few additives if possible.
Have a look at James Wellbeloved, it's very well priced, pets at home always are doing deals and it's ace!

Re: help please
Agree with everyone else, Webbox is a bad food and the ingredients are not the best.
INGREDIENTS
Wheat, Meat & Bone Meal, Chicken Fat, Beet Fibre, Vitamins and Minerals, Chicken Digest, Salt.
First ingredient listed is wheat (known allergen) and also means the food mainly consists of wheat. The protein source (Meat & Bone meal) also is bad because it doesn't state which type of meat it is, most likely being a mix of all the leftovers that they don't need and are unfit for human consumption. Don't know why they've added salt in there either, offers no nutritional value.
If I were you, I'd start off on a decent food that you can get right away, something like Wainwrights from Pets At Home.
Gradually introduce it over a period of 7-10 days and go from there!
Regarding the poo eating, Zeus used to do this alot when he was younger, try giving charcoal biscuits to combat this, you can also try pineapple chunks (which didn't work for me, but works for others), ultimately, when you catch the pup doing it, you need to tell them off, this is the only method that worked for me.

Re: help please
Get him onto decent food by gradually changing over during the course of about a week should be fine.
What are you doing to stop him eating the poo ?? If you can get to it before he does this would be a good start. Maybe try the Leave command to keep him away from it until you can it bagged and binned.
