That's the only way I can explain it. Someone told me about the anal gland and that some dogs needed it expressed. I took him to the groomer and had him groomed and the anal gland expressed and it made all the difference in him. I don't know why he needs it and the others don't but that is the case.
Someone mentioned adding more fiber to his diet. His diet is mostly Biljac frozen dog food. Chicken and rice with a little vegetables (which I cook for them). Eggs a couple of times a week. Cheese as a treat. Sometimes a weiner as a treat. (I know it probably isn't good for him, but he loves it. I also buy treats. Doggie jerky, etc.
He eats a little dry dog food. It is out all the time but they don't like it all that well. How can I add more fiber to their diet? |
Not much to add here, but wanted to let you know that Sadie never liked hard dog food at all. Finally, I just refused to feed her soft canned food, and she started eating it.
I had to start out by putting a little water in her dish, and she liked it. Now, it is just hard food, and her teeth are so
much better now. Not so much tartar build up.
