I tried Innova (not large breed) and had terrible results. Not pleased at all.

Re: No tootsie rolls

I have 12 week old puppies on Innova large breed and the stools are slightly soft but well formed. I was giving yogurt with their food until recently and the stool consistency did not change when I stopped the yogurt. I plan to stay on Innova large breed until they are ready for adult food.

Re: No tootsie rolls

if stool is loose, not formed and solid, that is not normal. I would change foods Stool on puppies this age should be normal if what they are eating agrees with them.

Had poor results with Innova Puppy a few years ago. Didn't go back.

Re: No tootsie rolls

Have you checked for giardia ?? It doesn't have to effect the adults....the puppies can just have intermittent loose stools.

Re: No tootsie rolls

Are the puppies being fed from the same lot of dog food ( I don't know what quantity you purchased the food in )? Is it possible it is a bad batch of the food? Can you possibly try buying just a new small bag, and feeding them from that and seeing if the problem continues? Something to consider.

Re: No tootsie rolls

yes, have check and cleared for everything....maybe a food change is in order.
