I apologize if this topic has been discussed to death, but my searching didn't quite yield the answers I was looking for. This is for all the BARFers out there. Those of you that feed the canned Jack Makeral and/or Sardines, have you noticed that your dog (or cat) had loose stool for a few days after? My Cane Corso LOVES sardines and makeral and I enjoy feeding it to him b/c its a natural way for him to get his Omega's. But it really bothers me when he has those loose smelly stools. I try to give him fresh Tilapia, but he won't touch it. Any other ideas? If you've experienced the loose stools, did you find a fix and still be able to feed the canned stuff? Any inside info would be great. Take care and have a safe and happy New Year. Cane Corso

You can add canned pumpkin to it, usual suggestion. Or even just a bit of good natural kibble to firm it up. If you wanna get him started on fresh tilapia you can start by cooking/flavouring it (not enough to reach the bone just the outside), and then decreasing that, etc. Mmmm. Nothing like freshly steamed tilapia.

Things you can do to firm stools up include 1. Add more bones 2. Add more below ground veggies 3. Give less above ground veggies -Jason http://www.vonsidener.com

I don't feed veggies to my dog, but I might start doing it once in a while. I guess its okay then if I know that the Sardines/Makeral are causing a bit of loose stool as long as it goes back to normal when I don't feed it. Thanks again. Cane Corso

I too would make that same suggestion, adding that sweet potatoes work as well as pumpkin. The canned-fish thing has happened to my dogs in the past, but only when they were fed it the first couple of times.
