They just like the Taste, Use "shake" can. Bordom as a pup, you may discourage by puttin some meat tenderizer on the food. Quote
Shannon_C Posted April 19, 2002 Posted April 19, 2002 It can also be caused by worms, whatever your puppy eats is taken by them, so if you dont already have him wormed i suggest you do so immediately by your vet. If left unattended, your pup will be at risk. Shannon Bullmastiff Owner, Researcher/Adviser of the Breed. Lover of all Animals! Quote
