Calvin's full of Cra .... I mean POOP!

:) check the ingredients in his food. Even if he's been eating it for some time, they may have changed the ingredients. Also, he may have developed a problem with whatever is in that food. Be sure to look for this ingredient "EXLAX)

That is funny but ol' Cal has a problem. Many of the cheap pet foods are straight bulk and have little if any nutritional value, the animal is merely the middle man. Talk to a good pet store like Bosley's, they put us onto Orijin's which made a world of difference. The dogs thrive on it and the byproducts were reduced considerably. We don't buy the overpriced canned food the vet flogs.

Thanks for the recommendations, but this post was a tongue and cheek sorta thing. In other words, I feeling great that he's improving so well.

However, he's still on the mend, and is slowly getting back to his self. He was at 28 bags just a few weeks ago since acquiring that terrible fungal infection.

He eats Royal Canin Potato and Venison, which helps him with his stomach issues.

Alright Pops, does Calvin know your telling on him??? :B

I have three Cockers running around in my small back-Yard Pops, If I don't go out everyday to clean up, Well ya know what its like when your driving in the Country and you past a cow farm. lol Lots of poops here too.

Guess that's the price we pay for lovin them so much.
Wouldn't have it any other way, including cleaning up the poops.

Glad to here Calvin is feeling better, we've been dealing with ear infection and allergy's here.

Oh and one who's decided he doesn't like potting outside.

The joys of fall. :)

There are a couple of things which are not clear to me, which is almost always the case. :R

1. Are you using one bag for each "session", or
2. If using each bag for multiple "sessions", is each bag "filled to capacity"?

Either way, it would seem that the only way to know the true symptomatic relevance of your bag usage would be by poundage. In other words, I think you must start weighing his "session" outputs. Over time, you can form a normal baseline of weekly poundage. If Calvin starts going over that baseline, then you know he is full of Cr.... poop.

I think you might start by buying an accurate fishing scale from which to hang each bag upon completion.

Good luck! :)

So does anyone else have a dog that's full of it as well? ... :B

Has Calvin become a politician? Maybe it's practice for his campaign?

The fewer bi products in the food, grains/fillers, the less bags you will need to use.
