Forum Rules | 1. Here we prefer clarity to agreement. Obviously not everyone is going to agree on a topic; here we prefer to talk out our differences in a respectful manner to ensure mutual understanding and respect. 2. Read the Stickies and Announcements. Each sub-forum may have specific rules which trump the Forum Rules in cases where there may be conflicting information. Read the rules of each board before you post so that you are clear on the expectations of the staff. 3. Respect ALL Staff and Admins. These people volunteer of their time and MUST be respected as well as their word adhered to. They are responsible for maintaining a free, open, clear and organized forum. Anyone found to be openly undermining any official ruling by a staff member will be warned. 4. Signatures: One picture only and no links. Images: To keep the forum looking neat and tidy, we ask that members insert just one picture only in their signatures. The picture should be no more than 200x500 pixels and should be of an appropriate subject, for example, your dogs and their names. Should you need assistance creating an appropriate signature, please PM an Admin and we would be happy to help! This is to ensure that signatures remain a welcome addition to our forum instead of a cumbersome distraction. Links: Hyperlinks in signatures--unless to a personal blog or photo stream of your dogs (like Flckr or Piscasa, for example)--are strictly prohibited. Please PM a staff member with any questions or concerns regarding this rule. |

| I've been easing into the THK Keen with Delilah, but it's making her poop ALL THE TIME. Literally every hour. Is this normal?
P.S. she is getting it WITH her kibble - Blue Buffalo.

| It is normal to see an big increase in stool volume but not so much that she needs to go every hour. My sibe had a small BM once or twice a day on grain free kibbles like Evo whereas on THK exclusively he had 3 large BMs daily. On a mix of 3/4 lb THK and 1/4 cup grain free kibble we typically see 2 medium BMs per day.
How much HK is Delilah getting on a daily basis and how much kibble? _________________ |

| total - 1 cup THK and 2 cups kibble. She gets 1/2 cup with 1 cup of kibble each meal. I'm worried. |

| That seems like a lot of food. When my dogs were on kibble they only ate 2-2.5 cups daily _________________ Force Free Training ThreadCheyenne, Mishka, Mickey, Rodeo, & Odin Are you a Husky owner in South Florida?! Join our facebook meetup group! |

| Kody eats 2 cups total daily and Mya 1 1/2 (sometimes 2). They get 1/2 cup THK and 1/2 cup kibble for breakfast and dinner. Or if I'm feeding them raw for dinner then they just get 1/2 cup THK & 1/2 cup kibble for breakfast.
They do tend to poop more and it's a lot more poop, but definitely not every hour. I'd say about 3-4 times daily.... |

| How old is Delilah and how much does she weigh? That does seem like too much food unless she's a growing puppy or working dog. What kind of kibble are you feeding? I only ask to know if she's getting so much kibble because she's on a lower quality food.
My 52 lb adult male eats 1-1.25 lbs of THK a day when he eats that exclusively. When he ate grain free Evo kibble he ate 1.75 cups daily. _________________ |

| Well, I took her ot the vet, to be sure. She has a urinary tract infection. but, She doesn't typically eat all of the kibble. She usually picks out the kibble thats covered in the thk and leaves the rest hahaha. so, she is probably getting 1 - 1/2 cups of it. ...the cats sometimes get lucky and get the rest |

| That's a lot of food for her age and size. Even at 1.5 cups of kibble plus a cup of THK that adds up to an awful lot for an adult that small. I think she'd be fine at 1.5 cups of BB alone even. Is she a nice, healthy weight? I would cut her portion sizes down and see how she does. Maybe try cutting back to 1/4 cup of THK with 3/4 cups of kibble fed twice a day to start. I think she could probably do with less than that even but it's easier on the dog to cut back gradually. _________________ |
