I wonderd if you feed your dogs plain yogurt and/or canned (unsweetened) pumpkin. Ranger was having a little trouble switching foods so the woman that runs the pet store I go to recommended pumpkin. I tried it and it worked great and both dogs love it. Both dogs have good solid poop when they eat pumpkin. Problem is I am not sure how much to give them or whether it can be a long term thing.

I have also heard that plain yogurt is good as well but I don't know how much or whether lowfat is okay. I buy the quarts of plain lowfat for myself, but often can't finish the whole quart in a reasonable amount of time so I would love to share the leftovers if they are safe for the dogs.

Both of my dogs are about 70 lbs.

Thanks for any advice.
