| Hill's Prescription Diet (Metabolic Canine) Basically, Magnus is overweight. I think he's over 17 lbs now and should be somewhere between 13-15 lbs. My vet wanted me to feed him Hill's Prescription Diet food. Metabolic Canine - Dry I had him on Wellness's healthy weight for small breed. Since I made the switch (been about 4 days), he's been pooping alot. And I mean ALOT! Poop itself is "normal" and he's active/healthy. But is he suppose to poop this much??? This morning, he pooped twice before even having breakfast. If I didn't know better, I would've thought I had a big breed! |

My dog, Anya, was on it too as she is overweight. I had her on it for over a month and she was still pooping 5-6 times if not more a day. She would be running out the door whenever I let the dogs out and also was crying to go out because she had to go so badly. I finally took her off of it because she was always having to poop. I felt so bad for her. Besides that, she was on it for a month and hadn't lost any weight. I am going to talk to the vet next week when we go to see if there is another option.
