Question:
I have a 13wk old Border Collie/Germ Shep.mix. She eats fast I give her a cup of food in the am/1/2 cup at lunch & 1 cup in the evening of Blue Buffalo Company holistic puppy food. Just the past couple days she has had diareah and wants lots of water...any idea why all of a sudden she has diareah? How much water should she intake? She wants to drink alot. Thank you. I'm taking her to the Vet on Friday (today is Wed) I'll let her know too.

Answer:
Thanks for y our email.

It is a good idea you are taking her into the vet. I think you could find
a better quality food. We only use Science diet because of its
fixed formula, never changing. Other commercial foods have to meet
a minimum, they don't have to meet a maxium. Other foods are
changing all the time. she also could have gotten into some garbage
that upset her stomach. Pepto is good to use for an upset stomach.
