I have come to the conclusion that it has to be the food causing my dog's poop issues. Now the golden is scooting(never done this before, just started), the oldest one is fine, and the GSD has pudding poop(this started this morning). They are on Fromm and when they weren't doing well a couple weeks ago I got them the duck and sweet potato with hopes that that would be easier to digest. They have been getting just the regular Fromm for the last couple days, because I'm trying to pinpoint the issue. I have been rotating them, which could be problem number one...Can you guys tell me what ingredients would be the problem? I'm listing both dog foods and I can't figure it out? Do they need more protein or is it to much? They all were doing well with the regular Fromm until a couple weeks ago

I have noticed that the GSD has much better poop if she gets some raw meat...beef cubes, chicken backs, etc, that is where I'm thinking more protein is needed, but the golden and the other dog do not do well with those things

I have never been this confused about food, I need to find something that works for all of them. Cost is not an issue. Should I switch to a different brand completely? I did order that Sunday Sundae stuff, which I believe will help, should I just wait for that? Help
