Hill’s is great, don’t believe the horror stories. It’s one of the foods I highly recommend. They have veterinary nutritionists on staff to make sure the food is balanced and safe for dogs to eat. I would keep Pepper on this food.

Hill's puppy food is a complete puppy food and you do not need to supplement it. You should feed the puppy food for the correct size (as an adult) of your puppy. Do not let her eat her poop. It is a bad habit, likely because it smells a bit like her food. Pick up the poop immediately after she eliminated it.

Hi and thanks for posting! Very cute picture too! The first thing I would make sure you do is have his stool tested by your veterinarian to rule out a bacterial or parasitic infection that could be causing his stool be loose. If your veterinarian does not suspect a health issue as a cause, then you may want to try changing the food to a sensitive stomach formula such as Hill's Adult Sensitive Stomach food you can find over the counter at your local pet supplies store. Adding extra fiber to the diet can also help firm up the stool a bit. You can try adding 1/4 cup of plain canned pumpkin (not the pie filling) to his food twice daily. I hope this helps and thanks for posting!

It depends on which diet you are using in the Hill's brand. The link below is to a school that many vets will send stones to for analysis. On this page you will find a PDF link to treatment/prevention of urate stones. There are several diets listed there. Another option is having a nutritionist make a diet for your pet that you would make at home. Most vet schools offer this service and it could be facilitated through your vet if you don't live near a vet school. Hopefully your pet has also been evaluated for diseases that predispose to urate stones as this is a more rare stone. I hope this helps and thank you for using Boop by Petco! https://www.vetmed.umn.edu/centers-programs/minnesota-urolith-center/urolith-analysis/treatment-recommendations

I would potentially have your husband bring a piece of kibble with him in the room so she can have a treat when he is there if this is a cause for concern. I would also recommend getting Holly checked out to make sure there is nothing going on with her especially if her behavior has changed. Thank you for using Boop by Petco.
