Hello everyone

I realise my question will have been asked a lot, and I have read through some pages but not quite found the answer!

How do you find the right food for your yorkie and wheedle out was in the food affecting their bowels?

Stanley is 11 weeks old, he was fed by the breeder on raw tripe and chicken, I cannot do this as I could not handle the meat.

Have spoken to the vet who said to just try a variety of dried foods to settle his stomach ... so we have tried 4 well known not cheap dry brands, one morsel brand and one tinned meat brand.

All of which have left Stanley with a runny tummy. My old yorkie was fab and one food was all she was on for life .. but Stanley is proving hard to find the food that will settle in his stomach.

He has plenty of water to hand, has never eaten "human" food, not even a nibble of our food. He goes to the toilet anywhere from 10 - 15 poohs a day and none of them solid yet he remains bright healthy and alert. We spoke to a nutrionist in pets at home and now trying another brand which is doing the same.

Does anyone have a way of finding out which or why it affects Stanley so much .. he cant have green colourants, so now he is on a science food. And yes I do mix the food first and keep him on it a week to see how he goes on it.

Many thanks if you can help Stanley .. and me as it driving me nuts with so many poop patrols and washing the yard down!
