My 11.5 y/o Border Collie mix, Willie, has been on Fromm 4 Star Chicken a la Veg for about 1.5 months. We switched him from Blue Buffalo Senior because his poops, while good consistency, were very frequent (like, 4-5 times a day!).
I am very happy with the frequency of his stools now (1-2 times a day), but the consistency is lacking. It is light-ish in color and fairly loose - not like pudding, but still not together, and he was licking his backside more than usual for awhile. After about 2.5 weeks of this, I began giving Mr. Willers a heaping tablespoon of pumpkin with his dinner every night, but his stool has remained the same (minus any discomfort/licking).
Any ideas? His recent bloodwork is fine, vet check was good. Should I maybe try Fromm Gold or even Blue Wilderness? I'm not quite ready to make the jump to RAW, so would like to stick with kibble for now. I was hoping the pumpkin would do the trick, but I'm out of ideas. Thank you in advance for any advice!
