I have been feeding Canidae All Life Stages to my 9 month old male now for about 2 months, and I have recently been noticing some very soft stools, they are not runny, just very loose...  He is the only one, all the others are doing great on it, I don't understand why he has this, he is wormed regularly, utd on shots, and his diet does not change, he gets fed the same time everyday and the same amount.  About 1 1/2  week ago he vomitted up his food for 2 days in a row then he was fine, and it wasn't alot just a little.  Any suggestions or ideas on what could be causing this?  Thanks in advance for answers...

See your vet,  he maybe stressed, he still might be having issues from the vomiting, have your vet check for bacteria overgrowth in the intestines.
Always,

Maybe something related to not being able to digest the food , If I where you I would have the dog blood tested because the same thing happend to my darling little English Cream Dachshund and turns out she has mild pancreatitis. One day I switched her food abdruptly and she was barfing foam all over my house ( I ran out of her food and gave her what I was feeding the GSDs) , and she was having loose and then hard stools. Just strange , but it happens.
Anyways another reason a dog could be having loose stool is due to low enzyme. We give dogs a "Cooked kibble" , cooked food lacks any enzymes and no probiotics unless you add it back in.

I suggest to all of my puppy buyers to keep there dogs on probiotics/enzymes for life anyways, just to keep them in the best condition possible.

Good luck to you and yours :)

I just opened this bag about a week ago, as soon as I can get out I gonna take him to see the Dr., all this snow has me literally snawed in, he has not vomitted since those 2 days, but his stools are still more loose than I like to see.  I was thinking of the probiotics myself...  I can't imagine what he would be stressed over, he lives a dream life...hahahaha  No one picks on him and he lives inside with the others, he is just rotten, but they all have normal stools and he don't.  He was on probiotics when I first got him for diarrhea, and then he cleared up, so maybe this problem is repeating itself.  Hopefull by Friday I can take him to the vet...  He is not acting sickly or anything so I'm sure he will be fine til then.  Thanks everyone for your input!!!
