Hello, and thank you for using Boop by Petco. Most cats should groom themselves clean, but some cats can struggle to do so, especially if they are overweight (and may have trouble reaching their hind end), if they have very long hair, or if they're struggling with diarrhea. If Snow has very long hair, you could ask the vet or a groomer to clip her hind end a little bit so it's easier to keep clean. You can then keep baby wipes around and wipe her hind end whenever you notice she needs help staying clean. Keep an eye on her litterbox, and if her stools seem softer than usual then it's worth having a vet take a look at her to make sure she doesn't have a medical issue that needs to be addressed.

It definitely can be the food. I would check a stool sample and see if they have intestinal parasites. If the stool sample from the litter box is positive I would just treat all 3 of your cats. I would gradually wean them onto another type of food. It can easily be from the food. Thank you for using Boop by Petco.

If she hasn't been dewormed in the last month you should do that.

You should be able to get both of these products from any pet store. ( https://www.lazada.com.ph/catalog/?q=cat+probiotic&_keyori=ss&from=input&spm=a2o4l.pdp.search.go.1fd63825IU4mzi )

Hi there and thank you for using Boop by Petco to address your concern. I would recommend switching to a different food such as Science Diet or Royal Canin and see if a diet change makes a difference. You may even consider adding in a fiber supplement to help bulk up her stool so that it passes without getting stuck. A probiotic such as Purina Fortiflora may also be a good idea, which can be found online quite easily. I hope this helps! Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns and I would be more than happy to help you further.

This probably is due to the food she eats. Some cat food has more undigestible bulk (lots more fiber) than other cat food. If you want her to poop less poop, you will need to get low residue cat food, which is usually a prescription food for cats with constipation. If you put "low residue cat food" in your browser , it will bring up many different kinds.
