So I have Wyatt on the Fromm in the pink bag but I noticed Chicken was an ingredient, I thought the bullys have an issues with chicken. Also it seemed like the coconut oil is causing him poop issues. I also have him on the NuVet supplement. He will be 8 weeks Friday.

SO precious! Usually as a baby/puppy, they do not develop the issues that young -- they tend to begin showing at around 8-12 months. Back off the coconut oil and see if his poo firms up. How much are you feeding at each meal?

We are giving him about 3/4 cup 4x a day. Then we take it away if he doesn't eat in in 20 minutes or so. The only time he normally does is the first feeding. He's up almost 4 pounds in a little under 2 weeks so I don't think I'm starving him.

Hi, Fromm's puppy is an excellent food. We used this until our guys were 7 months old, then switched to adult Fromm's.
3/4 of a cup 4 times a day might be a little too much, which can cause diarrhea. I fed our guys 1 cup 3 times a day until they were 7 months o,d, and then reduced their feedings to 1 cup twice a day. Try reducing Wyatt's food to 1 cup 3 times a day and see how his poop is.

I think that might be too much food for him.... [MENTION=2]bullmama[/MENTION] [MENTION=2071]Davidh[/MENTION]. .

If his poops are soft, cut back on his food a little, if they are good, then the amount is good. When he gets around 9 or 10 weeks old, switch him to three time a day feedings. Then when he gets 5 to 6 months of age, you can switch to twice a day, plus when he gets 7 month old, you can switch him to adult food.

Agreed.

Check out this article about diarrhea, it even has an estimated feeding table for Fromm puppy.

Thanks everyone- will try that. He only eats probably 1.5-2 cups since we take it away after 20m or so. I'll have to really keep track:yes:
