Re: Can Dog Food Type Affect Enzyme Amount (Bowser Update)

To answer your question.... larger and/or looser stools mean food is not agreeing as well as expected. More frequency may (or may not) also indicate this problem. What you can try also.... just to see... is add a tsp of canned pumpkin or look on the slipper elm page.... add some slippery elm powder....

Re: Can Dog Food Type Affect Enzyme Amount (Bowser Update)

Re: Not eating...again

I am thinking along the same lines as Jill..... the first thing i would do is have the vet check her kidney values. Next....Thank you for giving us her daily regimen.... i just looked up adverse effects of Zinquen (for dogs) and one of the problems can be loss of appetite- - can you ask the vet if t...
