Runny Poo!

Hi,

I have a 4 months old boxer puppy. We feed her half kibble and half home cooking, just to get started. She'd been on this (Sold Gold) kibble for about 2 weeks before we started home cooking and she was fine. Now, her poo is really mushy and liquidy. I've only made one meal so far - chicken quarters and bones (cooked and mashed), zucchini, apples, tomatoes, chicken gizzards, and some egg shell powder for calcium. No grains of any sort. We've been home cooking about two/one and a half weeks now. Is it just the change? Or should I add potatoes? I do find her food has a layer of grease and fat at the top from the chicken - could it be that?

Anyway, I appreciate any and all help!

The food you are making is too rich, has too many ingredients (vegetables), and has way too much fat. Moreover, you should never give cooked bones to a dog. Skim off any extra fat from the homemade food.

I would put the pup on a bland diet for a week, then slowly introduce one vegetable at a time to see what your dog is reacting to.
