| I remember one time I fed Toki the Pure Vita bison. The fiber content was very high (compared to her usual food) ...8.5% and Toki would poop every time I took her out...sometimes 4 times a day! Very firm, well-formed stools. I stopped feeding her this because the amount of hard, green-tinted poop concerned me lol. She has also been on the Wellness Core Reduced fat and she did really well on that...it has the same amount of fiber as the PV bison. The new Natural Balance Fat Dog formula also has high fiber (10.5%) if you want to try something from the same brand that you currently feed |

| The type of fiber is as important as the level. Beet pulp is much better at helping fix anal gland problems. |

| Veggie may work well but you can also mix Honest Kitchen with there food. It has alot of fiber. You can buy a small sample pack. Human Grade Dog & Cat Food, Treats & Supplements | The Honest Kitchen |
