| Bentley is 6 months old I believe he is a cotton coat Weighs roughly 7 lbs Currently trying primal raw turkey/sardine formula He gets about .5 cup twice per day He poops usually twice a day And his poop is usually odorless but on the soft side especially towards the end, sometimes a little mucousy. no gas normally. Instinct raw beef gave him very minimal and small dry white 'bone' little nugget poop, likely uncomfortably dry. Orijen puppy makes him super gassy with lots and lots and lots of soft but formed poops sometimes greasy. Orijen freeze dried raw regional gives him soft formed greasy poops he will readily eat. |
