    Primal Pet Food sold

    https://petsplusmag.com/kinderhook-acquires-primal-pet-foods/?fbclid=IwAR2NBotCc2Krdz_DzQUGJopUn9wOJ4e_VrwmZW5YGj-LNgBETXJT5gcXbHI Uh-oh, I don’t know if this is a good thing. I already had to switch my dog over from Answers to Primal (with a brief stopover to Small Batch, which didn’t agree...

    Thanks in advance

    My one month membership that I won ends tomorrow so want to thank you for your support as I’m dealing with my dog’s issues. I’m thrilled that I see no remnants of what I thought for months was a perianal adenoma - apparently was some kind of encapsulated cyst that popped and is no more. An...

    Hot weather and soft stool

    Thanks! I’m writing everything down. Last couple of nights he has gone downstairs to sleep on the kitchen floor (linoleum) - can’t say I blame him- so he’s seeking cool (kindof normal when it’s like this, I guess) He’s always been cool seeking. In winter sometimes lies next to the front door-...

    Hot weather and soft stool

    His stool was perfect for two weeks prior to this latest heat wave. The minute it hit 90, bam! Mucusy stool! I don’t recall if I gave him anything before- a tbsp of pumpkin but I always do that. I may give him some slippery elm syrup with treats (he won’t consume it straight) and see if it...

    Hot weather and soft stool

    I think his immune system was likely working on getting rid of that lump (ah, success!) and the fleas hopped on. Yikes. He didn’t have them before.

    Hot weather and soft stool

    Trying not to panic at least! I’m glad I waited on the lump - there was really no alternative since no other vets were letting clients in with pets and I wouldn’t trust any around here anyway not to administer”extras”- vaccines, ear treatments, etc. out of my sight. I’m glad I hung tough. I see...

    Hot weather and soft stool

    Starting with the first heat wave, my dog has had intermittent soft, sometimes mucusy poop. Occasionally diarrhea, but mostly just soft. And he didn’t act himself. Then when the temperature wasn’t extreme, it would go back to being solid and he acted normally again. Until the next heat wave. He...

    Possible detox going on?

    The store that carries it only has a couple of varieties, none of the nuggets. I’ll probably stick with Primal- at least for now. I opened a new bag of the Primal beef and his poop was kindof soft again. I really wonder if they changed the formula or what. Last week when I finished off what I...

    Possible detox going on?

    It seems it only comes in patties and there are limited proteins available. I guess I’ll stick with Primal. BUT I wonder if something has changed with Primal because my dog has had soft, sometimes mucusy poop lately. His poop went back to being firm and normal this past week and I realized it...

    Holistic Vet in Fairfield County, CT

    I’m in the same boat, Lyndsey. It’s really hard when you don’t have much faith in or have lost faith in a vet and don’t know where to turn. I was in a real bind last week and didn’t even get a call back about a test result (which last I knew wasn’t even run yet)! Fortunately my dog has improved...

    Possible detox going on?

    Has anyone here ever fed their dog this food? https://rawganicspetfood.com/ It’s from a farm in NY, available at a store near me. I’ve been feeding my dog Primal since mid June. Jury’s still out on whether it’s agreeing with him or not. He’s had finicky colon the past couple of weeks. But one...

    Meet my Dog (Redux)

    Have yet to hear back anything about the fecal test. His poops have become a bit more normal today anyway. Fingers crossed…

    Meet my Dog (Redux)

    Thank you so much. I’m bringing a stool sample to the vet tomorrow to confirm or rule out parasites (and I know it could be inconclusive but it’s a start) i do feel him ceasing to find asphalt appealing is a symptom onto itself. Why did he start? What made him stop? (I tried to stop him every...

    My dog’s poop problem

    The mucus is mixed in with the poop. Gelatinous. Gooey. Same color (light brown when there’s mucus) otherwise his poop is medium to dark brown. Smells pretty bad but not unbearably bad. He squats until every last drop is out. I sure miss the easy to pick up poop and I’m pretty sure he does too...

    My dog’s poop problem

    Thank you! The soft mucusy poop continues, “sigh.” It was almost perfect last week. His poop was a lot firmer on Answers but at the same time I thought the fermentation was causing other issues (ears, itchiness) I changed his food to Small Batch and then to Primal after Answers was no longer...
