Raise your paws if you have no tummy issues!

[Texas Doodle Mom and Molly Rose]

Okay, our puppy arrives home next month and I have been staying clear of the food group lately as it is raising my worry level over food and tummy issues.  So, I thought, there surely are folks out there with a positive experience?  Raise your paws and respond here if your puppy has never had long-term tummy issues, and tell me if you have a goldendoodle or a labradoodle.  Also, which food do they eat? Just looking for some reassurance - thank you!

Love the picture. Ragley is SO cute! You guys make me feel better as I have been a bit concerned that Riley looks skinny when wet. My husband always tells me not to worry though.

As for the original question, no tummy problems here. We switched to BB Freedom once I learned how bad her current food was and have been on that for months. She turns 1 this Sunday so we have now switched to Canidae Pure Elements.

Thank you, Christy! We are in adolescence right now so I am going through quite the mixture of "angel puppy' moments and "you're not the boss of me" moments haha Regardless, she is an absolute joy. 

[Christy&Riley]

I feel like we have been in that limbo stage for months. I don't know what is more frustrating. The days when she disobeyed because she didn't understand or now disobeying because she understands. LOL

Yup...recognize that Doodle physique ! ;)
CUTE!

[Stephanie and Ragley]

Good to know I'm not alone in the Skeleton Doodle Club!

What an adorable picture!  I'm cracking up at this conversation, because I've basically been having the same one with myself today.  Eloise got her "summer do" yesterday at the groomers (which is way too short right now, I miss my fluffball) and she looks ridiculously skinny!  So I've been enviously thinking, why can't a haircut do that for me?!?  Lol.  With all that fluff gone, she looks like she lost 10 lbs!    

[Texas Doodle Mom and Molly Rose]

Yes!  If a haircut made me lose 10 lbs., I'd be ecstatic =)

[Jolene, Sassparilla & Josie]

I wish that darn water trick worked on me! Lol. We love adorable little Enzo, wet or dry.

[Rosemary (Ro) and Enzo]

LOL...you and me both, Jolene! You and me both!!!

[Stephanie and Ragley]

That is literally what I tell everyone who is surprised about her weight haha I tell them that I wish a haircut and a little water could work wonders with my physique like it does to hers lol

[Texas Doodle Mom and Molly Rose]

I cannot believe Enzo will turn down steak!  My mom always free fed our dogs, and I free fed my dogs until I had to feed two different foods for medical issues.  I was in the routine of timed feedings with Maggie, and will pick up with that with this puppy.  Free feeding was easier...until I had children to knock into the bowls, etc.  Wondering if a small puppy needs the slo-bowl or if that is something for when they are older?

[Rosemary (Ro) and Enzo]

I would not invest in one until you find if you need or not. From day one Enzo just has never been interested in food. She can take a treat and she will carry it around the house wagging her tail. Eventually she'll lay down with it. Sometimes she eats it, other times it'll sit there for an hr or so or whenever she sees fit to eat it. Steak, burgers, chicken, it's all the same. IF she is hungry, she'll eat...otherwise it can sit in a bowl all day. And the Vet says her weight is fine.....49 lbs @ 11 months today. Sure wish I could turn down food like she does! ;)
