Hi everyone,
I searched through the forums and couldn't really find anyone with a problem that was the same as mine (similar yes but not the same) so I'm hoping I can post and get some help
I feed Remy Orijen Large Breed Puppy food and he really loves it. He is strong, healthy and his coat looks great. During his morning walk he usually has a very solid (very large) poop and is fine. In the afternoon and evening however he has frequent poos that are often very soft. I have noticed that he also poops, then moves to a new spot a few feet away to finish up (and he seems to be straining). He doesn't seem to be in any distress though.
There are a couple of factors that I wonder if they are contributing to this.
- The fact that he only eats his food at night when I am home (he often ignores his food during the day).
- Could it be the treats that I am giving him? I sometimes give him liver treats for training purposes
- There is a security guard in my building that sometimes gives him dog biscuits (not the good kind i think) but that's only 2 days a week. Could that affect his stool for the entire week?
I will be taking him to the vet but the last time they didn't find anything so if anyone has experienced something like this any help/suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks
