Does anyone have the problem of constantly having to clean their dog's butt? I'm not talking diarrhea, but stools that are soft enough that on the way out catch on her hair. I have trimmed a little…Continue

Shari Ishii replied to Margie A Hayes's discussion Messy Butt"Cody eats Hills Science Diet R/D (yep, she has to lose a bit of weight). The food is great and she has nice solid stools. When she was a puppy and had the "stuck-on" poo (pre Hill's food find), a friend who has 5 corgis recommended…"
Margie A Hayes replied to Margie A Hayes's discussion Messy Butt"Sounds like you have more of a mess with fluffs that I have. It's not so bad in the summer when I can take her outside to clean up. I am moving Holly to chicken and also trying a probiotic. When she was little I did it and it helped a lot. I am…"
Margie A Hayes replied to Margie A Hayes's discussion Messy Butt"Thanks for the reply. Holly is on grain free and I'm thinking of having her on a Raw diet or at least 1/2 being a raw mix."
Cindi & Twinkie replied to Margie A Hayes's discussion Messy Butt"Sometimes my corgis have messy butts. I consider that a complication of having fluffs. I do not plan on changing their diet. When it seems to be happening more often, it means I need to trim them up with the grooming scissors.…"
Karen Dadisman replied to Margie A Hayes's discussion Messy Butt"Hi, I feed Rosie and Rocky Nutri Source grain free chicken. They love it and do very well on it. Rosie will have a loose stool once in a while esp when she decides she needs to poop 4 times on a 30 minute walk. Have yet to figure that one out but…"
Margie A Hayes replied to Margie A Hayes's discussion Messy Butt"Thanks Bev. I have quit letting her having a beef bone with fat on it and that is really bad."
Bev Levy replied to Margie A Hayes's discussion Messy Butt"I switched Izzy to a low fat food and no more messy butt"
Margie A Hayes replied to Margie A Hayes's discussion Messy Butt"Hi Sam,
She carries Wellness, Earthborn, Candiae, and I don't know the names of what brand she carries for Raw. I would agree about not believing everything you read, but when I read of companies that had good food, but have been bought out by…"
Margie A Hayes replied to Margie A Hayes's discussion Messy Butt"Great meeting you and looks like you keep late or early hours? :-) The only reason I wet her kibble was I guess the idea that dry kibble sticks to their teeth and causes tartar. I will stop that and just continue with the can food, but maybe switch…"
Margie A Hayes replied to Margie A Hayes's discussion Messy Butt"Hi Sam,
I would agree about the vets and nutrition, but not my vet. She is totally into nutrition and does her research on the brands she carries. Unlike other vets that carry Science Diet, she does not. When she started carrying raw she did a lot…"
Ludi replied to Margie A Hayes's discussion Messy Butt"France. :) But anyway, I would start with the least dramatic change. Is there a reason you include wet with her kibble, aside from flavour? She should be hydrated enough provided that there is a constant supply of fresh water.
Going raw is a huge…"
Margie A Hayes replied to Margie A Hayes's discussion Messy Butt"Hi Sam, I have mixed the Wellness dry with the new food and there was plenty of the former so I should be safe there. She was the same even before switching, so not a case of new food causing it.
I have consulted the vet who is 100% for going raw…"
Margie A Hayes replied to Margie A Hayes's discussion Messy Butt"Thanks! Where are you at? I'm in Kansas and it is 8 pm here.
I'll try the pumpkin then all raw--chicken and not beef. Last resort she will have a bare bottom and I will use a high pressured hose to clean her. OK, just kidding!"
Ludi replied to Margie A Hayes's discussion Messy Butt"Oh goodness, this gave me a hearty belly laugh at 2:30 AM. The idea of a corgi-baboon was too much for me to handle! :D
As for loose stools, Ace has an issue with them when he gets fatty treats or foods the day before. He is on a fully raw…"

Does anyone have the problem of constantly having to clean their dog's butt? I'm not talking diarrhea, but stools that are soft enough that on the way out catch on her hair. I have trimmed a little around her behind, but don't want to make her look like a baboon.Holly is free of worms, so that is not the problem. Until recently she was fed a mixture of Wellness dry (water added) and a couple spoonfuls of Wellness canned beef dog food---all grain free. I have switched her to Nutri Source Grain…See More

I'm sure this subject has come up before, but couldn't find what you like best for stopping a puller. Holly is 4 1/2 months and I know a lot of it is puppy and being excited when she goes out for walks . We are fine after she settles down with just a plain nylon collar, but going to puppy obedience class or being around other poeple or dogs---no way! I got the Sporn No Pull Harness and at first it seemed to work, but now she pulls like a husky in it. I know to release when she gives in and…
