Thanks Mike and you are absolutely right. I have dogs come in for boarding that eat Purina dog chow or any cheap brand of food they can find and the stools are good , shiny coats and if anything a little to fat. My dogs would squirt through a picket fence. The puppies mother does well on O.N.E and the rest of my dogs do well on Exceed. I think I will switch the puppies to O.N. E adult and see what happens. With the Kennels overflowing for Christmas, having 5 poopy puppies in my laundry room is the last thing I wanted.to smell while fixing Christmas dinner. We have had sub zero weather so they don't go out those days. Today is in the 20's so they get out for short little runs. Tomorrow should be in the 40's. MUCH BETTER!
