Health & WellbeingMy puppy is eating roots and is having a hard time passing stool because of this. How do I stop this?
Please make sure Chloe is getting enough food so she’s not hungry, If she’s very active she may need three meals daily. If she eats very quickly at each meal and finishes it all right away then increase the amount at each feeding so she’s not as hungry at the next meal. Adding a tablespoon of plain canned pumpkin to each feeding will increase the fiber and make passing the stools easier. Then I would give her plenty of toys to chew on and play with, and teach her to fetch so she isn’t as interested in chewing and eating the roots. I would also,limit her time in that area so she can’t eat so many roots. She should outgrow this in a month or two. Thanks for using Boop by Petco to help you care for Chloe.
