High Fiber Dog Food and Loose Stools?

My one-year-old labrador retriever has had trouble with loose stools since I got her at six-weeks-oldShe's been routinely tested for all possible parasites and bacteriasResults were negativeOther than the loose stools she is happy, active, and otherwise healthyWe have fed her bi-product free dry food since bringing her home as a puppyWe started with Chicken Soup for the Dog Lover's Soul Puppy Food and then switched over to California Natural Chicken Meal and Brown Rice puppy and adult foodThe California Natural, we were told, was easy for dogs to digest because it contains fewer ingredientsMy lab loves it, but the loose stool problem persistsThe vet finally suggested we try a high fiber foodCalifornia Natural is about 1.7% fiberAny suggestions for a higher fiber diet that is bi-product free? I looked at Orijen, but the protein percentage was a whopping 46% versus the typical mid to low twenties.

If you are happy with the food you have chosen, and need to add fiber, try adding Bran Buds (available at any grocery store) or Metamucil to her food (start with a tablespoon, and work up or down from there)I have had the same issues with one of my dogs-the California Natural is the only food my dog was able to tolerateSome other options for bulking up stools are adding cooked oatmeal to the food or cooked brown rice.

The Al foil will act as a reflectorthe cardboard field will basically be the help for the foil mirrorsin case you mirror the photograph voltaic desirable right into a small section, that's relatively clever to guard/insulate that small section with paper or plastic wrapin case you get actual ingenious, you're arranged to coach the cardboard to style the foil into the style of a parabola which will concentration the meditated photograph voltaic (like a lens)in case you play with a magnifying glass, even a small achieveable burn wood in case you concentration the spot sufficiently smallinterior the adventure that your foil mirrors concentration sufficient photograph voltaic in a sufficiently small section, you ought to set your oven on firelooks like a exciting undertaking, solid fulfillment

I am blind sure, I've seen that online a couple of weeks ago; some innovator did it for poor areas in AfricaI just totally forgot which website, but I guess you can search for it easily (keywords: africa, solar, oven, innovation, cheap, economic, cardboard,.etc) Anyway, I am sure that: cardboard, paper- structure plastic wrap- insulation (for tempto rise as you need it) aluminum foil- reflector (to concentrate the heat in one area)

what are you heating? water? if so, make a thick cardboard box with an open top, and cover the outside with DARK construction paper (black absorbs the light, that's why it's black)Line the inside of the box with the aluminum foil, and try to curve it so that the sun's rays are reflected around inside the box(make sure there are no holes because this is also what will keep your water inside, unless its in a bottle, then there can be holes)Cover the top of the box with the plastic wrap once the water's inside, this prevents it from evaporating.

The Al foil will act as a reflectorThe cardboard box will just be the support for the foil mirrorsIf you reflect the sunlight into a small area, you may want to protect/insulate that small area with paper or plastic wrapIf you get real creative, you might be able to use the cardboard to form the foil into the shape of a parabola which will focus the reflected sunlight (like a lens)If you play with a magnifying glass, even a small one can burn wood if you focus the spot small enoughIf your foil mirrors focus enough sunlight in a small enough area, you might set your oven on fireSounds like a fun project, good luck
