A few months ago, another YT member posted that she had to switch from Instinct to another food because the protein level made her new puppy drink & pee way too much. I've noticed in the last couple of months that Tate is drinking a peeing a LOT. His doctor says he's fine and thinks it may be the food.

And, I just got a new puppy a couple of weeks ago. He does fine on Canidae which is what his breeder was feeding. But he has really runny stools when I try to feed him Instinct. I don't feed Canidae because most varieties contain chicken and I don't want to feed the fish one due to the ethoxyquin scare.

Help!! What is a good food that would work for all my babies?
That was me and Cosmo! I just switched to the NV Prairie since I LOVE the NV line..and since I switched..no problem. I love it because it's a rotation diet and then I also give him one medallion a day as well with dinner. Hope that helps!!

Also for soft stool I started to use The Honest Kitchen Perfect Form and I add 1/4 tsp of that on his food in the morning and never a problem again with loose stools.
