Large dog small stool
Hi everyone,
I have a large breed collie/shepherd cross. In the past few days her stool has gone from normal to very little. Whereas she would normally do the amount and type of stool that is average for an human adult, her stool is now what I would think is normal for a small breed dog. Maybe one of two very small pieces. Light brown / golden almost in colour and not watery, but it is on the soft side. I am extremely concerned and don't know what this is caused by. I've given her plain rice two days in a row and no change. The only change I can think of is about two weeks ago my husband brought home the wrong dog food - i feed her adult breed Innova, he brought home the weight reduced formula (both bags are green). Any thoughts, ideas, suggestions. please and thank you |

Different foods would easily be responsible for a change in size, colour and consistency of the poop. As well, could she be eating less? Where are you in terms of finishing off the wrong food and going back to regular?

Welcome to the forum fly girl.
Since Natura Pet (Innova) has recently been taken over by Proctor & Gamble I would perhaps suspect that they may have changed (cheapened) their ingredients as they did this when they took over the Iams/Eukanuba brands. I would start adding some meat protein to the rice you are currently feeding and then slowly switch her to another brand. My personal favourite is Orijen or Acana Provincial (www.championpetfoods.com) or you can check out www.dogfoodanalysis.com for some other top rated brands. Good luck and keep us posted. |

You know, Acana did the same thing a couple years ago, drastic sudden no-warning change from one bag to the next and it caused a lot of problems as dogs suited to the old formula weren't all well-suited to the new. |
