Let\u2019s talk about poop.\u00a0 If you\u2019re a dog owner, you probably have a more intimate relationship with poop than you thought you would.\u00a0 One of the great things about picking up after our dogs, is that we get an opportunity to see how their stools are, which offers great information for how well they are digesting their food.<\/p>\n

If your dog suffers from chronic loose stools, it could be the food they are eating.\u00a0 Note: if your dog has severe diarrhea or shows other symptoms of being unwell, please see your veterinarian immediately.\u00a0 It\u2019s always a good idea to check with your vet to rule out medical issues before addressing dietary changes.\u00a0<\/em> Dogs who eat the same dog foods day after day can develop food intolerances, food allergies or may develop IBD (Inflammatory Bowel Disease).\u00a0 Dogs can also develop Inflammatory Bowel Syndrome, which can also cause vomiting and even a low grade fever.<\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Constipated<\/a><\/p>\n

What\u2019s In My Dog Food That Contributes to Loose Stools?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Ingredients in food that can contribute to loose stools:\u00a0 , unspecified protein or fat sources (labeled as \u201cmeat\u201d or \u201canimal,\u201d instead of identifying the protein source), chemical preservatives, artificial colors, wheat, corn, soy.\u00a0 If there\u2019s an ingredient that your dog is allergic to, this will also cause problems.\u00a0 Dogs can be allergic to just about anything, but common ingredients such as beef and chicken are the most prevalent.<\/p>\n

What Kind of Food Should I Feed My Dog With Loose Stools?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

First, look for foods that don\u2019t contain any of the above ingredients.\u00a0 Most likely, this won\u2019t be found at your local grocery store.\u00a0 The best foods are found at independent pet stores.\u00a0 The other bonus about shopping at an independent pet store is you get the valuable knowledge of the staff there, who may have helped other folks with the same problems.<\/p>\n

Next, look for foods with limited ingredients.\u00a0 Foods that use only one protein source and one grain or carbohydrate source make it easier to figure out which ingredient is causing the problem.<\/p>\n

Finally, try foods with proteins that your dog has never had before.\u00a0 There are lots of novel proteins out there to try, including Kangaroo, Brushtail and Venison.<\/p>\n

How To Switch Foods \"\"<\/a><\/b><\/h3>\n

When you have a dog with digestive troubles, the key is to go slow.\u00a0 Switch their food over the course of a few weeks, slowly introducing the new food.\u00a0 If at any time they have trouble, reduce the amount of new food until their stomach settles down.\u00a0 If you don\u2019t notice an improvement after the first few weeks of being on only the new food, try a different protein instead.<\/p>\n
