Ellie goes once a day and occasionally twice. Puppies go more often. One poop per meal plus maybe one more (if your dog gets lots of treats) throughout the day could be okay...

Why the Science Diet Duck and Potato in the first place? Allergies or stomach problems?

Are you willing to homecook?
She was vomiting a lot, so the vet put her on the Science Diet Duck and Potato. They were not sure if she had tummy issues or liver problems and are now saying (liver biopsy came back good) it is her her tummy.

My vet thinks more than 3 bowel movements a day are too much and she was having 2-3 on the Science Diet Duck and Potato, but still vomiting too often.

Now she isn't vomiting on the Canidae, but having too many BM's.

I can't homecook, but am willing to buy the best food I can to give her a healthy diet.

She has only been on the Canidae for 8 days, so maybe it will get better if I just keep her on it for a while? I just don't know. I am so new to this puppy stuff and just want to give her the right stuff so she is healthy.

I am just desperate to find a good food that works well for her. She has had so many problems since we got her and I just want her to be healthy.
