Hi Kayla, I would stop his old kibble tomorrow & just put him on the new kibble now, 2-3 poos is OK ur still adding the old food, as soon as you have him on the new food things should get better if the new food agrees with him also is he on a good dog probiotic, that helps when changing kibbles.. My boy has stomach/bowel problems & Ive had him on a probiotic now for over 1 year now, It helps Ive noticed..
My boy is on 3 cups of kibble a day & he does 3 poos a day..But when he was just on his vet prescription diet kibble he was only doing 2 poos a day, so it depends on what brand of kibble you feed how many poos they do…. I’ve found, after 4-5 days on the new food his poos should firm up if the kibble agrees with him,
I dont bother with the stars, as all dogs are different & high protein foods get the 5 stars, My boy is on the Wellness Simple the higher protein Simple kibble gets 5 stars but the Duck & Lamb which is a lower protein only get 3 stars but it agrees with my dog & he’s not vomiting or sloppy poos..so I dont pay to much attention to stars, as long as the ingredients aren’t high lighted in red then I wouldnt be feeding that food…anything with 3-5 stars is Ok. if this food ur trying doesnt firm up his poos up, whats the point of 5 star kibble… I tried about 5-6 kibbles before I found the Wellness Simple thank-God…also try not to add any new foods while transforming to new kibble just in case cause you wont know what has upset his tummy if it happens…Good-Luck sounds like he’s happy, Whats his name?? I forget on the Wellness Simple it says to give 2 &1/2 cups of kibble for my dogs weight, Patch lost weight, so now I have to add 1/2 cup more so keep an eye on his weight..
