Ok I have an embarrasing question? My 6mo old poop is solid, soft but solid.. question is it seems like he isnt getting anything from his food? meaning he sems to be pooping out exactly, if not more than what he is eating? He eats PMI Nutrition Exclusive chicken and rice... I am trying to figure out which food to go too just haven't figured out which one. i did try Life Abundance but my dogs actually didnt like it.. they wouldnt touch it.. ok thanks for thoughts and opinions.

I'm sorry. I am no help on this. I have been having questions on the correct food to feed too. And all the research I have done, just brings more questions. Hope you get a great answer to your problem.

Is your puppy gaining weight? Or is he on puppy food? Remember that these little guys have very tiny tummies. they can only eat so much at once, then well, poop the rest out.
Is he playful, and happy? He does not have any worms or anything does he? I would first make sure nothing else is going on with his health. AND if all of that checks out fine, then start looking other foods.
My 4month old girl eats a food called By Nature. It is suppose to be very nutritious . I also tried the Life's Abundance, and Suzi was ot keen on it either.
whatever you decide to do, start out slowly when changing his food.

he is healthy, a good weight just over 6 lbs, and no worms or nothing else of concerns per vet that I trust.. last vet check was about a month ago. I think I going to try Wellness... Since He is 6 months Do I have to stay on puppy food? or can I just go to adult....

Max is just over seven months old now and weighs 10lb.

What is the average weight for a puppy of this age. I should say he is a standard Yorkie?
