What To Give To Soften Motions

Your experience points to one of the reasons I am an un-fan of ground chicken frames. The proportion of bone is well above the % required over time, plus when ground the bone content is less likely to hang around the stomach in the acid bath. Possibly these guys' digestive pH, enzymes aren't up to scratch yet either.

Lots of suggestions here, also teeny amounts of organ esp. liver introduced slowly are powerhouses of nutrition and will help with a normal gut transition time.

The proportion of bone would certainly be well above the required percentage if the pet chicken mince is given without any vegies or organ meat. I would not feed the pet chicken mince without adding vegies, yoghurt, eggs and organ meat as well as some muscle meat and meaty bones.

I feel human grade food to my dogs but have in the past used chicken mince but never without adding various other things to it.

Well i have got them going all right now thanks for the suggestions, why is that satin balls recipe called satin balls?

I will keep that recipe sounds good.

I was going to suggest the satin balls too. Do a google search (or I think DOL search will bring some up too). You can go as basic or difficult as you like. I've not had one skinny starving dog turn down one of my satin balls yet
