My dog is constipated and is on the raw diet. I tried adding pumpkin, but that doesn't seem to help. Any suggestions?
Full Question:
A year ago I read all the articles on the web site and decided to feed my GSD the raw diet. She does not like beef or most other red meats but will only eat chicken and other fowl. My question / problem is she looks great, lots of energy, and for the most part is healthy except she has become extremely constipated. I tried the pumpkin mixed with the chicken but no help and she won?t touch any kibble. Have you ever experienced this before?Thanks for you time.

Cindy's Answer:
Constipation is usually due to a bit more bone in the diet than the body needs. Can you add some boneless chicken or turkey to the meals you are feeding and see if that helps? Whenever my dogs get constipated I add more boneless meat and that usually does the trick.
