Oh, one more thing… my vet suggested adding a spoon of canned pumpkin to get some good quality fiber into his system. Haven’t tried it yet (changing the food seemed to have done the trick), but this could be a good option to boost the fiber and keep your dog “regular.” I assume it’s not hard to find unsweetened, plain canned pumpkin in the supermarket.

I also found this interesting article about the benefits of canned pumpkin for dogs:

I had the same experience with my 3 year old terrier mix, except my situation might be more conclusive because it was the same brand: Wellness Core vs Wellness Stews. It seems he tolerates the Core but not the stews (he gets loose stools). I’m surprised because the Core has a higher protein to carb ratio but the stews may simply be too rich for him.

He seems to thrive on a diet that’s half Wellness core wet and half wellness core dry (for small dogs). Like people, all dogs are different and sometimes it’s just trial and error.

Good luck to you and your dog!
