Question:
We have switched our 12-year-old Westie from Science Diet to your homemade recipe. She loves it and dances around her bowl. But we've noticed that the resulting stool is smaller and not as solid as it was previously. Could you suggest a dry food (without coloring) that we could add to the moist?.

Answer:
There are some good-quality dry dog foods on the market. Your best place to look is at a health-food store or a grocery that sells organically certified people food. Their pet-food section should have some organic dry dog food for which you will have to pay a premium, but your dog is small and won't require much.I am glad your dog is enjoying my basic home-prepared diet. Smaller and softer stools should not, however, be a problem. Give your dog a 2- to 3-inch-long raw marrow (beef) shank/soup bone to chew on to help keep her teeth clean.
