So ever since I switched Banjo to Merrick his stools have always been decently loose, which is understandable. I've been researching it on this forum and several members said feeding pumpkin helps harden the stools up. So I've been feeding pumpkin to Banjo for the last 2 weeks or so and it has helped his stools a drastic amount! (Thanks to the wonderful members on this site)
Anyways, today I was in the Vet's office and told the Vet what I was doing with the pumpkin etc. He said that was a terrible idea and WILL cause Banjo terrible diarrhea. He said pumpkin is only used for senior constipated dogs to help loosen their stool up.
I kind of chuckled. I'm starting to think I should change Vets... Especially after I made the Type of dog food thread after my Vet told me Science Diet and Iams were the some of the best brands available (LOL). It's obvious the pumpkin is working for Banjo and quite frankly I trust the knowledgeable members here over my Vet.
Has any one ever heard of this or does my Vet truly have no idea what he's talking about?
