My Golden Retriever puppy has watery poop. What's the best food?

At 6 weeks old, your pet should be well on puppy food with no milk. You should go ahead and go forward with Royal Canin regular puppy large breed food with no additives. If Arjun happens to be having a hard time eating the kibble, then you can certainly add in some canned food at this point, but most puppies this age can no longer digest milk or cerelac, so it should not be given to them anymore. If your puppy just seems to not like Royal Canin anymore, then some other suggested brands are Hill's Science Diet, Eukanuba, or Purina. The amount to feed should be based on the guideline on the back of the bag, but it isn't a perfect science. Pay attention to your pet and feed less than what is recommended if he seems to be leaving a good amount still in the bowl. A good rule of thumb here is that whatever is suggested on the bag is likely going to be an over-estimate of the amount of food he will likely consume. To help with the loose stools, you should add in a probiotic such as Fortiflora or over the counter Culturelle for the next 7-14 days. This should help resolve it, but if not, then a vet visit is recommended. I hope that this new formulation helps Arjun keep normal bowel movements moving forward. Best of luck and take care. : )

Congratulations on your new puppy! it is very common for puppies to carry parasites or infections. The most common ones are giardia, coccidia, intestinal worms or viruses like Parvo. I cannot speak to what are the most likely illnesses seen in the Philippines as I have worked only in the US and UK - but I do recommend taking her to the vet as soon as theyre open to have tests done (take a fecal sample with you) and they will determine what type of treatment is needed. The most likely tests would be a Parvo test, +- blood test, a fecal float for parasites and a giardia test.

I would recommend bringing Dakota to a veterinarian. Typically, I would recommend boiled chicken and white rice but due to her age I would recommend having a veterinarian make sure there are no intestinal parasites and that the diarrhea is just from the stress and diet change. Your veterinarian can also prescribe medication to help the diarrhea resolve. Thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.

He might have eaten something spoiled that is causing this. withhold food for 12 hours then offer Toby boiled boneless chicken and rice every 6 hours in small portions. if he is eating and not vomiting, continue with this diet for 2 days. After 2 days, you can put him back gradually on his normal food. If the diarrhea does not resolve, take him to the vet to get treatment.

Thank you for submitting your question regarding Charlie. First, it is fine to switch dog food brands, but you will need to transition slowly. You should mix the foods and gradually change the proportions of old and new. This will help to prevent any vomiting or diarrhea from the the change. Next, he should eat a large breed puppy food to best meet his nutritional needs. Personally, I use Purina, Hill's, Royal Canin or Iams. These are large companies with veterinarians on staff to research and formulate their diets. They also tend to offer of a variety of products to fit different budgets. I hope this information helps!

You should feed her according to the instructions on the food label as it it differs from brand to brand. regarding her eating her feces, it's very common in puppies but should be discouraged of course, there are many supplements that you can find in pet shops that can help with this problem, one example is called "deter", it makes the poop very bitter and dogs usually hates the taste.

I would recommend a good quality large breed puppy formula such as Royal canin or iams. Feed twice daily. Amount varies by nutritional content of the food so follow label directions on how much to feed. Good luck with your pup!
