My puppy frequently has leaky anal glands; we tried pumpkin, no scoot, and shes fed grain free; has anyone with similar issues found this helps?

Our 12.5 year old mini pin had some leaks and what we call soft serve poops all the time. It improved closer to normal when he was a younger adult, not quite the same but close.

I personally rotate proteins for my mutts. Not only for variety, but their health as well. My vet and local pet shops have suggested this to me in the past.

My cocker still chews her feet a bit. I notice that she doesn't have tummy trouble any more - has helped her digestive system.

When I switched to this product my cat's digestive track completely cleared up. Prior to this brand he had terrible problem including blood in stools from months of digestive track problems. I would thing that either you cat has an individual problem with the brand ingredients, you might try turkey or beef, or the amount you are feeding is too great especially if the cat is older and more idle.

I had tried my little 4 lb. yorkie, Mya, on a couple of different foods over the 4 years I've had her and she just will eat nothing else but Royal Canin. I don't remember trying Natural Balance; I just know that she loves the Royal Canin. My sister and my brother have both switched from other dog foods to Royal Canin because their dogs were picky too. They have a shitzu and a "teddy bear"; both small breeds and it has worked out well for them too.

Io have very good luck with Bella. For some tough areas I do need to use a soft towel and work on the area. This often includes dog drool.

What kind of bedding are you using? I have kiln dried wood chips or paper bedding in my cage at all times. That helps stop any "leakage". Also, my husband build a study wooden outer casing for my cage to make it easier to move around (I hate how easily it collapses!). I clean the cage often (every three days or so, or when I notice it staring to smell).

Try a liquid treat or something like Nutrical or Laxitone. Those taste good and provide other benefits. But itiis always best to ask your Vet.

Urine never leaked on the floor, since we have new carpeting in our bedrooms we always put a bath towel just in case. When she was younger, she weighed about 5lbs so not a lot of urine! We used Lysol disinfectant spray to clean it. She is doing well at 3 months and has accidents only once and a great while. She really liked her crate and sleeps in it still. No crying and for a Boston Terrier I think that is pretty good.

My dog eats grain free foods....his snacks are also grain free or fresh vegetables. He takes his allergy pills either plain or in cheese, but because he continued having skin issues, I also give him the most potent allergy meds from the dr. These, together with a natural soap that I found in Virginia, have alleviated his itching, have enhanced his appetite and he's a much more content dog at this time. We've also lessened his seizures to almost never!

I wasn't using it for a yeast infection, just for general intestinal health. My dog was having too many loose bowel movements and I believe it helped that.

BB has puppy dog food also which gives a higher caloric intake. I know getting two different foods is a pain but it is only for a short time. I have done some study on different dog foods because one of my dogs ended up with kidney stones. What I found was that grain free is the way to go. Also making sure your dog gets plenty of water. I add a little water to there food and they at it all up within 5 mins.

It could be a number of things and change of diet being one of them. Orijen is not full of fillers so your dog may have more room for water. As long as your dog doesnt have abnormal bowel movements I wouldnt worry. You should notice smaller, firm, and less frequent stools because they are actually digesting orijen and only passing true waste. Be sure to exercise portion control or you will have a fat little pup very quickly.

I'm so sorry to hear. I changed dogs diet after trying Science Diet, but was also feeding treats I have no idea if they were seizure cause. I just threw out everything I was feeding, began research and decided to go with Wellness. I also feed PetFresh for a moist food addition snacks I feed zuke's. I didn't take him to vet, can't afford all they will test for. Thought to self, switch diet and watch him. It's like a miracle, the change in him. I hope a switch in diet is the answer for your puppy. Have a peaceful day.

My dog wasn't thrilled either. Maybe you could try contacting wisdom panel about the drool. I doubt it though. They might be able to offer some suggestions on collecting specimens. Maybe your vet could offer suggestions or help. It is so worth it if you can get him/her swabbed.

I have a toy Maltese, who has Addison's Disease (stress disorder) he has the small dog syndrome with the teeth - he doesn't chew on anything hard and was told at 2 his teeth were awful. I had them cleaned and 4 teeth were pulled. Since that time my dog acquired this stress disorder and I am so fearful of putting him under. My vet is urging me to get his teeth done, telling me how bad they are. I purchased this is late November and have been using it since. I noticed a stark improvement in his breath. I really don't know if it is helping his teeth though - I am dreading going back to the vet for the teeth :(. I will say this, I did lots of research before buying this brand. What is so nice is that it doesn't change the taste of the water and it hasn't upset my dog at all - normal stool, no vomiting. I have read with the other flavored brands some complications with putting the dog off of drinking the water because of the taste and other issues as well. It is worth a try. It has helped his breath which means it must be doing something for the plaque on his teeth I would think. Not sure how helpful this was but I understand your concerns completely.

Dogs do get tired of, or sensitive to having the same protein all the time; try switching to the rabbit, venison, chicken or surf n turf. Also I would hydrate the beef patties now, they are hard as rocks and never used to be so it might be a texture or tooth issue. Also you can try the other excellent Canadian product; brand name starts with "O".
