Hi Penny

You are a very clever little girl!!!

Pedigree chum is not the best food I would try one of the major hypoallergenic brands like James Well Beloved, Royal Canin, Burns. they all do puppy versions.

You have to learn how to post pics asap so we can see what you look like.

it could be that you are over feeding - too much food will make the stools soft

We started to use Pro Plan Puppy Dry food but have started to change Cooper onto Hills Science Plan Dry food after our friends recommended this and our vet said that they also thought Hills Science Plan was a good feed. By the way Cooper just love's it and scoff's it down everytime it is put down for him.

What did the breeder recommend (what were they feeding)?

How often are you feeding?

don't just change the food in one go,it needs to be introduced gradually...
