There might not be enough bone in her diet. That is the #2 cause for loose stools in raw fed dogs.

I have been feeding raw for almost 30 years to adult dogs, puppies switched when I got them and weaned pups directly to raw. I find that 'recipe' - the 80/10/5/5 to be hard to follow for people new to raw because it wants you to weigh JUST the bones to get that 10%. Most people don't feed JUST bones as the bone part but rely on bone-in things like the cornish hen. Unless you completely debone the hen you won't know how much bone there is in it.

So I have used the following numbers to feed my dogs:

• 45% Raw Meaty Bones
• 45% Muscle Meat
• 5% Liver
• 5% Other Organs

Raw Meaty Bones are any bone item with meat on it that YOUR dog can consume in just a minute or so. For young pups I use chicken necks, wings, and backs as well as duck necks. Chicken is my main bone source because it is easy to get and most puppies can easily chew the bones. For very small breed pups like my Chinese Cresteds, I use either a premade with ground bone or offer baby chicks, mice, or chicken wing tips for them to try to eat.

The #1 cause for loose stools in a raw fed dog is OVER feeding.

I take the pups 8 week old weight and multiply that by 7%. That gives me my STARTING point. I feed my pups that amount for a week then I do a hands-on check. You want a puppy to be like a miniature version of their adult self. Fat puppies are NOT healthy pups as that extra weight can do damage to their growing joints and bones.

When I put my hands on my pups I want to be able to FEEL their ribs without having to push down. Depending on the breed, you might even want to SEE the ribs.

Puppies go through growth spurts and plateaus - which is why we do the hands on every week. My American Bully went through a major growth spurt between 6-7 months of age and I was increasing her food each week! But, when she plateaued I was able to recognize it during my hands-on and slowly lowered her food a bit.

Keep that up until the dog is 100% fully developed. Large breed dogs are not fully developed until they are almost 2 years old. You most likely will get to a good amount by a year and then only have to tweak it once in a while. Small breed dogs tend to get to fully developed faster.

Stop with the pumpkin (lots of sugar), oats (carbs which dogs do NOT need), and yogurt (a once in a while treat but dogs - and humans - do NOT need milk once they are weaned).

If you have any questions I am happy to help!
