Cow pat poo!!

#1 29-06-11, 07:07 PM

Can anyone help?
Have been feeding Burns chicken and rice, but Charlie's coat started to become brittle and snap so did some research and was recommended Arden Grange., chicken and rice. His coat is lovely, shiny and soft now but it does not agree with his stomach at all, his poo now resembles cow pats! Not good.

Any advice please.....it's so hard (or not as the case may be) to pick up!!

How long since you changed diet?... sometimes it can take a while for a dog to adjust

My bubba had an upset tum, the vet recomended I give him Royal Canin Maxi Junior 32.

His tum was then fine on this for months.

Orijen is one of the best dry foods you can get, but it is very rich in protein.

I would give the food a little longer just incase the system needs time to adjust and then if no improvement I would change it. I am sure you will get the advice you need on here goodluck!

Arden Grange have their own nutritional advisor. Why not give her a call; she's really friendly and very helpful

Royal Canin didn't interest me (apart from veterinary diets) until I started to sell it! I mentioned to the rep that one of mine had an issue keeping weight on and she advised Maxi Sensible (silly name I know) and within a week she had gained a noticable amount of weight and her coat is probably the best I've seen it. It is expensive so I'm not sure if I will keep her on it but it certainly helped her.

I've now got the moggies on hairball control to see if it works on them.
