| That's probably why....science diet has many fillers in their food. Theres also corn in it which isnt very digestable. I know many vets recommend science diet..but its not very good food.

| I was having the same problem with my baby - I changed her food to Orijen it is great and I was feeding her 3 times a day it was a total nightmare! anyway i know the vet told me to feed her 3 times a day but just total nightmare and she wouldn't eat either, anyway i changed it to twice a day and of course she gets her treats when i train her so now she goes poop at scheduled times after her meals and in the morning before she eats breakfast so everything works out good now she's now four and ahalf months but she's healthy and happy |

| Hi, read your post regarding your puppy and it's BM's and the puppy food you were feeding it. We have 2 Yorkie puppy sister's and previously we had our Lexus for 14 yrs. and used ONLY Bil-Jac dry food. It's excellent and has no by-products in it, at all. They have all stages of the foods for your dog throughout it's life. Our Lexus went all the way from the puppy food, to the reduced fat, to the senior. And we had her for a long life of 14 yrs. and she was quite healthy her entire life. The best part, their BM (bowel movement) is solid and always, always consistent. Hope this helps. Yorkie Love, Angel (Mindi & Mandi,too - Arf-Arf) |
