Hello all.
My cockapoo has been experiencing issues with her anal glands for the last few years since we switched dog foods and we've had to get them expressed every two weeks for quite some time now.
I read several threads where it was recommended to switch dog foods. However, our dog is on a special food, Royal Canin SO to help control her bladder stones so that is not an option. The vet also cautioned us on adding too much other food in addition to the RC SO as it will throw off her urine's PH balance.
Pumpkin and adding fiber supplements to the diet was one suggestion but I couldn't find any recommendations of amounts to feed based upon body weight.
Can anyone provide any specifics or any other advice?
Thanks!
