| Loose stool for both! We have had Mimi for 2 and 1/2 weeks now. All has been fine with her poo. Last week (at the two week anniversary) I put "PetzLife" on her teeth. The next am she had very loose stool. That night I put petzlife on her teeth again, and I also put some on Moose's teeth. He woke up the next morning with very loose stool. I am not sure if it was from the petzlife or not. I called my vet and they said they have never heard of "petzLife". I have stopped using it until all clears up. But they BOTH have had very loose stool for 4 to 5 days now. (They are going about every 2 hrs! ) They are both eating Innova adult food. Their appetite is great, playing fine. I am going to call my vet tomorrow am to check in. Do you think I should change their diet today?

| I would ask your vet, but with my two girls when they get the squirts, I take in a stool sample and get it checked for parasites. I put them on a bland diet of boiled white meat chicken and rice or pasta until the stools are normal for 24 hours, then reintroduce the regular diet. Changing to a different brand of commercial food right now may upset their digestive tracts even more.

| Linda, I've used Petzlife on 4 of mine and haven't had the loose stools. Which kind did you use, (Salmon or regular) was it the spray or gel, and how many days have they been off it? I agree about taking the stool samples in to the vet, maybe it is a coincidence and something else is going on. If you only gave it to Moose ( April sends kisses, by the way ), one time, it seems unlikely that he should have the loose stools for that long? Hope you get this figured out. ps, I love your new avatar!!!

Therapy Dog Donating Member | I agree with the others on this...try the canned pumpkin and take samples into your vet. I really can't see that the Petzlife can give the runs..but who knows. Could be parasites but I would rather be safe than sorry. Maybe Mimi had something and passed it on to Moose? Never know. Keep us posted. Give each of them a couple tablespoons of nonfat vanilla yogurt or the plain for breakfast and the pumpkin and see how they are. I just switched Izzy to The Honest Kitchen (raw freeze dried) for dinner and the yogurt for breakfast and she is doing great.

Donating YT 30K Club Member | Sorry to hear that, but Cali had had loose stools on and off for the past week or so and I started using Petzlife on her as well as the other 2, They have been fine, but I used it last night on Cali and she had really bad diahrrea just now. I wonder if it could be the Petzlife not agreeing with them. WOnder if anyone else has had this problem.
