QUESTION:

Our 5 month old mini Aussie has a very sensative stomach. We tried many brands of high quality food but had constant problems with diarrhea. We finally ended up with Natural Balance LID and it really helped, however, the dog poops so many times per day. We feed her only twice a day but she poops at least 6-7 times. I hate to switch foods once again...any advice?

ANSWER:

Hi Amy,

Having a dog with a sensitive stomach is always difficult. Your dog might not be absorbing the nutrients needed by the food and that is why they are going to the bathroom so much. Also, be sure to follow the guidelines on the Natural Balance bag, over feeding could be another possible reason the dog is going so much. We sell canned pumpkin to help with any digestion issues (diarrhea or constipation) and we have Eagle Pack Holistic Solution, which has digestive enzymes to aid in digestion.
