Thank you for the advice. What supplement do you use? He is a pit mix… which is strange yours does this all time too!!

My guy has a sensitive stomach and Nature’s Logic Venison helped him a lot. No turkey, chicken, or lamb… But what helped most of all with anal gland issues was the inclusion of probiotics and digestive enzymes… firmed his stool right up. It might help you figure out more options if you don’t have to worry about a really high fiber content.

Perfect! Thanks for the advice.

Oh perfect! I will order those tonight… Hopefully that will work! If not, I will change foods (working on a rotation diet anyways!), then we will be going to the vet to have a fecal done. Thanks for all the help! Hoping this works!

[BluesMom]

Oh! That makes sense. Didn’t know what strange ingredient it was but I figured it was something because the loose stools cleared up overnight…. I’ve read a lot of brands like Iams put stool firmers in their food so you think your dog is doing better on it… Even though the firm stool was pleasing to my eyes (I was def. celebrating!), I could never keep him on Nutro after all the reviews….

And never mind on the underlying problem… I see you that you answered that question. I got excited for a response so I seem to have skipped over that part. Thanks!

What digestive enzyme product is suggested for a dog that is also on a probiotic?

[BluesMom]

Thank you for the info 🙂
Probiotic I am using is Rx Biotic that I got from the vet during a bout of diarrhea a while back and never used (switched foods to Nutro before I knew better and stool problems cleared up… found out bad things about Nutro and here we are again haha) but I ordered Dr. Langer’s from Swanson’s and should be here tomorrow.

So, along with Dr. Langer’s a digestive enzyme would help as well?… wasn’t sure if it was necessary to use a probiotic + digestive enzyme….

Does this mask an underlying problem? I guess I could rephrase and say…Is there a reason my dog isn’t producing these enzymes on his own?

Thanks for all the help. I love this site and all the knowledge people!

[BluesMom]

Thanks so much for the responses! I am really excited about this!

[BluesMom]

I have no idea. I have never tried it. If he can just take one at a time I will probably just put it in his mouth… that how I usually give him his medicine.

I just ordered some. How much should I give a 45 pound dog at one time?
