Question
My male bulldog is 7 months old and weighs 45lbs.  He currently has not shown any issues with allergies except for when we first bought him at about 3 months old he recived some shots soon after and that is when he started having very soft stool. Vet said he was alergic to the shots and so the next time he got his shots they gave him some kind of med & IV so he wouldn't have a worse reaction.  He continues to have diarea like stool.  Still goes regular time periods but soft.  also we can't seem to get rid of his smell.  almost smells like urine or some kind of acidic smell.  sometimes I think its his suliva.....I DON'T KNOW - HELP!

Answer
Dog with odor?  Try Pearls Probiotics, NuVet Plus and No grain dog foods:
Life's Abundance Holistic dog foods - See link -  Samples, too.

Hi Daisy and Family!  I would love to help your bulldog.  
We will need to make some food changes and add a supplement.
NEXT time you see your local Vet have them test his stool for Giardia.
(It's a common problem, just bring in a stool sample ...)

Ok - Please remember that I am not a Vet, just a Pet Nurse.

Food - A must for a good solid stool is a food with little to NO Corn or junk fillers.
PLUS you feed less ( it's condensed) = smaller poops and less often  .

This food is used by my clients: It's Holistic / Natural -
~~~~~~ SAFE ( never  recaall)** ~~~~~~  That's a Big PLUS NO RECALLS-

Last, Please add some PURE canned pumpkin to his food for the next 10 days -
ONLY 2 TEASPOONS per day - This is the NO added sugar brand of pumpkin.
This will help to give some structure to his poops.  
It will also give him belly a chance to get blanced and ready for the new food and supplements.

Do a 50:50 mix of the OLD food brand and the NEW food ( Life's Abundance),
for about 10 days to the mix.  AFTER the 10 day you can go 100% to the new food.

Keep my phone number and call me if you have an problems.
I help 1000s of bulldogs every month!
My clients have great luck with the Life's Abundance food and the NuVET Wafer supplements.

In time, we can add a few more supplements to his program.
