Hi Pam,
Well, low B12 can cause aggression and/or fearfulness in animals. Can you tell me which Blue Buffalo Tucker eats?
I haven't heard of conditioning to poop a lot.
Something needs a little tweaking!
Thanks

Hey there! So in my opinion you have a couple of things you could try:

1 - do nothing - if the poops are firm, weight is good as long as you don't mind picking up extra poop then I wouldn't change anything. Some dogs just poop more but as long as it's perfect poop I wouldn't worry

2 - it could be too much fiber in the food - you could try switching to a food with a little less fiber and see if that helps. You'd be surprised how much even 1/2% reduction in fiber can make a change but not always.

Keep us posted.

Tucker eats Blue Buffalo Life Protection Adult chicken & brown rice, and it does have 4% fiber. I will go to the local Earth Pets store & find something a little lower in fiber. I know, how weird to think he automatically poops, on command. It's worth a try, to see what happens. Thanks, guys!---Pam
Tucker was a shepherd/lab mix--- TLI 1.3, Folate 9.7, Cobalamin 666, Lipase 38. Took Diane's Enzymes 4 teaspoons/day, Wonderlabs B12 one capsule per day, and Tylan 1/16 teaspoon/ morning (to hold SID at bay). Taste of the Wild High Prairie, 1 1/2 cups/day, with a total of 4 cups of Fresh Pet. Stopped eating everything in sight, and went from 60 to 85 pounds! Tucker was my boyfriend, and my husband was OK with that. Tucker succumbed to hemangiosarcoma, but we cherished every day we had with that wonderful, beautiful boy. I will always, always miss my sweet big boy.

And yes, after all the B12 he's taken, it is refreshing to see him not be so touchy all the time. I try to tell people who criticize him, Hey, he was starving to death before, so cut him some slack. He's a stinker---he still jumps out & scares the others, for fun, but there have been no attacks in quite awhile.
