Pro Plan 5

I have gone the route of all the dog foods out there from Euke to blue to Flint River My dogs are at their peak when on Pro Plan ! 2 of my Aussies get the worst stools on Blue and Flint River!
So much for all the holistic hoo haa

Loose stools on premium foods usually resolve themselves with time. That process can be helped along by adding plain, canned pumpkin (NOT pumpkin pie filling, just plain pureed pumpkin in a can) to the dog's food for a few days. The only reason your dog's stools are firmer on Pro Plan is because it has little nutrition and tons of otherwise-worthless fiber. Once a dog's digestive tract is used to the lower-fiber, higher quality foods, their feces usually get much smaller and firmer than you're used to seeing on lower quality foods.

In time it works its self out?.... so how much time ? would a year of loose stools be long enough ( same food the whole time and stool volume was greater than it is with the PP ) ? My dogs work for a living are vetted regularly and are in great shape my oldest one is 13 and still works cattle and shows no sign of slowing down any time soon .. hey if it works for you I say great ! this food just happens to work quite well for me

Oh and the food that was the worse for the stool issue in my dog was BB which I also must add my dogs HATED the black bits in the food picked em right out

If your dogs still had loose stools after a year on a better food than Pro Plan, then the food you were feeding for that year just wasn't the right premium food for your dogs. There is no one best brand for every dog in the world, but Pro Plan formulas are so dismal and potentially harmful, I would be still shopping around for better.
