Question Hello, I have a great dane/black lab mix I found at the dog pound as a puppy 9 mos old. He is probably comming up on 2 years old. He's tall and may need to loose a few pounds but healthy/playful. I want him to have really good dog food and moved from Iams large breed to these Evo chunks. His stools started being dryer/harder and he seem like he was constipated. Now his stools are occasionally diarhea. Is this food hard to tolerate? Is the Evo puppy food more appropriate for a couple more months? His birthday is supposedly in OCT. I saw an article that stated Evo puppy should be used for 1st 2 years with large breeds. Confused about dog food! Can you help?
Answer Hi - The Innova Puppy would be a good choice for him mixed with the Innova EVO - So you will be buying 2 kinds of dog food and mixing.
Also, add some pure canned pumpkin to his food 1 x per day - the No added sugar kind - just 1 tablespoon per day -
Also, you can do the Canned Evo dog food - 2-3 Tablespoons per day on top of ONE of his meals - he should be eating 2 times per day at this age of 9 months.
The NuVET wafer supplement will be very helpful for his Health and Digestion.... Great vitamin - not sold in stores ( sold thru some breeders and HOLISTIC vet offices)
