Welcome to

Not sure the new pup is getting on with the Acana. Her stools are very loose. Not watery diarhea, more like sloppy pudding. She did a perfectly normal poo after breakfast this morning but had done a sloppy one just now after lunch.
She's being fed 3 times a day and having a lot less that the guidelines stated on the bag.
Is it time to try somethig else or should I give her a little longer to see if she will get used to it?
Tis a shame because Leos is doing really well on the Acana. He had loose stool on Orijen. Really don't want to be feeding different foods long term.

I had the same issue with Zoe when she was a pup and found that she did not tolerate foods that were chicken based. I now feed both her and Archer the Acana Regionals and alternate between the 3 flavors that don't have the chicken and they are both doing great on it.
1 cup = 120g. So 2 cups a day. Well when I weigh out a cup it's about 130g but it states 120g per cup. I don't think it's a chicken issue as the food (bad food) she was on before was chicken based. Starting tomorrow i'll put her on 2 feeds a day. A cup per feed and see how she goes.
Actually, thinking about it.....Leos is 18 months old and all tough he's not technically a growing pup any more he's only on 3 to 3 and a half cups a day at 28kg. Perhaps 2 cups a day is too much for a 10kg pup.
