Topic Dog Boards / Visitors Questions / Which tinned puppy food for loose tummy?
- By guest [gb] Date 12.01.03 21:00 UTC
Can anyone recommend a tinned puppy food to help firm a four month old King Charles Spaniel's stools?

He was previously having James Wellbeloved Complete food, but unfortunately has developed a problem with baby/adult teeth, Vet needs to do surgery, so until then the Pup cannot cope with the hard food, he is presently having tinned Pedigree Puppy, but soft stools. To add to the problem his anal glands are not emptying correctly!!

I understand that tinned Chappie is bland yet still very nutriocious, do they make one for puppies?

Any advice on any of the tinned softer meat would be appreciated.

Many thanks.

Our pup has found Asda puppy food very good. The only thing is it comes in packs of 6 with three varieties in each pack so you cant actually chooose one individual flavour . He is doing great on it so it may be one to bear in mind ?

Why not offer James Wellbeloved miostened with a little warm water just to soften it?

or switch to a raw feeding regime where the meat/bones are minced so he does not have to chew them and the fruit/veg is pureed - if you are interested in this do a search on BARF

The Original Chappie flavour is based on fish and many dogs find this easy to digest. Its not the best qualitey food and your pup really needs a good pup food as you have realised :) It may be worth trying if the effects of the surgery are going to be in the short term, but not as a long term solution.

How about NatureDiet? Tney do a Puppy version and it can be mashed to a pulp. It is good quality and available from most pet shops I believe.
