Thank you it does appear on the safe list. now i am worried what else could be wrong with him????? he is really tiny he is only 4 lbs and he is a finicky eater anyway but with him having the runs i am so worried

Ohh Amber, I sure hope Boo is ok. No other vet is available? I dont feed mine RC, so I'm not sure.

Sending Boo thoughts and prayers!

How long you had your puppy??
My baby had diarrhea in the beginning without any apparent reason.
I changed diet to more mild/bland food like boiled chicken and rice since my baby is picky eater as well.
Now she is almost 8 month and I have no problem!!!
And I am feeding her the same dog food, Royal Canine 33!!!

Why not try boiled chicken and rice for a few days to see if his stools harden up. Its probaby not the royal canin food, and most likely just a tummy thing, my girls get loose stools once in a while also and I have no idea why..

I would take her off of the puppy food if it were me. You cannot feed a puppy just home cooked food for any length of time safely, but it wouldnt hurt til you can get to the vet. I would go with the chicken or very lean hamburger and rice or oatmeal til then.

Royal Canin Puppy 33 is not on the recall list.....I feed this too, but it's better to err on the side of caution.

Amber my Sassy got the runs real bad and she had never had but puppy food either so i took her to the vet's and she had a parasite that she pick up out side in the grass. The vet said that if you have any wild animals in your yard bunnies, birds anything there is always a danger of getting a parasite so he gave her medicine and she was fine in a day and has been fine since.

[psugorilladdr]

Have you always feed this brand/type? When we switched too soon the same thing happened.

Boo is 11 months old. i am looking into other vets my mom wants to wait and see if he has it the rest of the night. Daisy had Giardia a while ago but she has been clear from it and they aren't ever really around eachother Peeka doesn't have the runs and i would think if any of them got it it would be him. She doesn't take him anywhere so i don't know?

Hustler had the exact same problem over the weekend. I switched him over to Royal Canin puppy 33 a few weeks ago because he wasn't eating his other dog food. It wasn't until this past weekend that he had the runs! He's never had the runs! I immediately stopped feeding him dog food and switched to home cooking of ground beef, vegetables and rice/bread...

I'm very curious as to whether it is related to the food, because at this rate of recalls it might just be!

Please let me know the progressing condition of your baby..

[Amber_lv]

Thank you everyone! He has been on this food since we got him at 7 weeks never had a poblem he has never had loose stools. am i just being a worry wart?
