Hi Madelon H,

I’m not Hound Dog Mom, but I do agree that RC is not a very good food. Your dog’s stools firmed up because it’s a bag of food whose main ingredient is rice. This is HDM’s list of dog foods that appears earlier in this discussion:

I know others have asked, but what was the exact diagnosis given by the Vet? It’s so very hard to tell from your description, but is it an anal sac issue?

I use a variety of treats when working with my dogs. The first time I brought my lab to a class years ago I had just basic treats. The instructor looked @ me and the fact that my dog wasn’t really that interested in following and said I need to bring the “A” treats. So I brought very small pieces of hot dog and it worked all the way through canine good citizen training.
Now I have fosters that need to learn and respond to me and a reactive dog that I adopted. I do vary the treats within the bag. My favorite is a mix of freeze dried liver and lungs along with all natural human hot dogs and boiled chicken cut in very small pieces. It keeps them alert since the treat will vary each time.

I use online a lot. Petco, Petflow, Petfooddirect, Chewy, etc… whoever has the best deals! The UPS guy probably hates me when I order the cans online. I know my husband hates it. LOL!
