This afternoon and tonight the bowel movements are firmer and brown with no blood or mucous. Thats with scrambled egg and James Wellbeloved.
I have only ever bought them from a stall called Grizzly Salmon Oil that goes round the agility shows - I stock up when I see the stall, ideally getting the short-dated reduced price ones. I have fed them up to 2 years after the sell by and they're fine. The company's address is in the USA. If you google them you should come up with a UK distributor, with that it's possible your local pet shop would be able to order some in for you - that way you avoid paying postage..

Re: Loose bowel movements streaked with blood and mucous

I've been intersested in this post as stella has started to suffer the same thing. The first bout I thought could be allergy to new bonio rawhide chews I got for her but now think could be stress unless she has developed an allergy torawhide chews in general.
Anyway googled Dr Chew as interested in this chew as may be better for her and found this supplier

thanks for that, both of you!

I found some Dr Chew on ebay too, also noticed the fish 4 dogs treats. Whilst I was browsing ebay, I noticed the Bulls Pizzles (yes they are willies) but found the idea offputting, also I can imagine the questions our three girls would ask!!

I also remembered that I used to get some dried tripe for my old dog, which was like chews, but it stank! God it Stank!

Re: Loose bowel movements streaked with blood and mucous

Have you tried pig ears? My puppy chews on them and she appears to consume/digest them without any issues.


Only other treats she has is is springbok hide and kangaroo meat. Waiting to try the Wild Boar!

CANIBIT Wild Boar Dog Chew at zooplus


Once she tried the hide you get from petsathome etc. She vomited a large square cut of it.

Having looked at the nutritional data from many of the chews in pets at home they all appear to contain a blend of ingredients rather than raw content only. Meat derivatives, sugars etc.. Not good for your dog.

Re: Loose bowel movements streaked with blood and mucous

We arent firming up yet!!!

The ProKolin came today and he has had one dose. His poos have all been brown on JWB but loose. Egg isnt firming him up either but he absolutely adores it. I might be being impatient, but its making his anal glands congested and he is scooting. Plus with him having long hair, its a messy job at poo time. Im doing a lot of trimming as well as washing!

How long will it take him to firm up on James Wellbeloved? Or are loose moments commonplace on this food?

Re: Loose bowel movements streaked with blood and mucous

Don't feed him eggs if he's loose, with mine it makes things 100 times worse

Personally I'd get him back to the vet before thursday, it must be making him feel really crap THe prokolin should kick in by tomorrow, he'll seem much better, but remember, it most probably isn't the cure you're looking for, it's just working on the symptom not the cause.

Have you tried giving him some mashed up banana ans some natural yoghurt? That's givig him both pro and pre biotics.. Slippery elm powder also works well on a lot of dogs.

I didnt think he would eat banana. I give it to the kids if they need firming up! I was avoiding natural yogurt because I have been told that milk is really bad for their stomachs and as I have lactose intolerance, I dont want the dog to be going through it too!

The latest poos are dark brown and softly formed, presumably due to the prokolin. He definitely isnt ill and isnt feeling badly. He is extremely full of life and happy! Its just change of diet I think. I was just too eager to get him off that cheapo pets at home stuff as it wasnt good quality, then he got loose and so I tried chicken and rice which almost made him s**t through the eye of a needle as my mother would say! He was loose way before the egg got introduced, and it has helped a bit.
