Bakers etc are pumped full of coloring and additives you say you already feed raw, she can get everything she needs from a raw diet why would you want to feed kibble a couple of days a week?

On raw the poop should be fairly small and firm when you get the bone percentage just right

What meats do you feed? red is quite rich I know I have to give Ledger a duck wing when he has tripe or his poop will get too soft. Maybe go back to simple chicken and turkey for a week or two

They digest kibble and raw differently, so if you add kibble you will probably find her poo gets even looser I'd had some bones like chicken wing or duck wing

What I mean is, if you give her dried food one day and raw the next it might upset her tummy

Maybe your feeding to much liver? I think that can cause runny poop

I would decide on either kibble or raw and stick to it. As Freya says mixing the two can cause tummy upsets as they are digested at different rates. As a relative newcomer to raw ( about 10 months ) I find it convenient to feed Natural Instinct as it is a complete food containing meat,crushed bone fruit, veg etc.

No I don't feed any biscuits at all, a typical day for loki is mince and raw egg for breakfast, bone and mince for lunch, and a small mince and sardines or heart etc I feed hardly any liver or I get the packs from the butchers that has heart,lung,esophagus etc

If you have only just changed to raw then that is too rich too soon really, it's recommended you do the first week or two with just chicken/turkey meat and bone the poop should start to firm then slowly start to introduce different meats one a week at a time that way you can judge what she can tolerate

Also any reason why you cook the kidney etc?
