In reply to Lynn Pasko. Hey there, Lynn. So sorry to hear about the problems with your pooch! Obviously, you'll want to work with your vet on this issue and heed the advice he or she provides. But is sounds to me like your pupper needs to go back to a food with higher fiber content -- you just need one that's lamb-based. Wellness Core comes in a lamb version. It only has 6.5% fiber content, but that's at least a step in the right direction. Nutro Lite Weight also comes in a lamb version, and it boasts 11% fiber content. Let us know if either of those work (and again, talk about the change with your vet first)!

great article! I have a maltese/shitzu who has anal gland issues. She was getting them cleaned at the vet every 2 weeks, soft poop. We discovered a high fiber food, which helped, but still soft poop, so vet every 3 or 4 weeks for cleaning. We now know she is allergic to chicken, hence soft poop, so took her off the high fibre, 12%, food, now eating lamb base food, fiber only 4%, she is back to every 2 weeks needing to get them emptied. I’m at my wits end. When they are full, she “leaks”, a horrible smelling liquid, she licks where she has leaked, she gets so embarrassed. Any suggestions would be so greatly appreciated!!

In reply to adam. Hey there, Adam. We are aware of the documented correlation between DCM and grain-free foods, and we're shifting our recommendations as quickly as we can. Thanks for checking out the site and sharing your thoughts.

why are the top 2 options grain free? are you not aware of the connection between grain free dog food and developing heart disease in dogs? with so many other options for high fiber diets, choosing grain free options as your #1 and #2 is very disappointing and dangerous for the dogs of the owners that read your article.

In reply to Ben Team. The “Blue Wilderness Rocky Mountain Recipe with Red Meat—Healthy Weight” is 10% fiber with no chicken! My poor doggo has gland issues and needs the high fiber, but chicken-based foods and treats make her chew her paws like crazy! The only problem is that it has been a little hard to get lately…
