I&#8217;ve decided to add a little store-bought food to his diet and save some time. I&#8217;ve been substituting a chicken thigh with \u00bd cup of dog food. He tolerates it well although his stools are slightly soft.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m using Castor &amp; Pollux&#8217;s Organix right now but bought Merrick&#8217;s Backcountry and Canidae&#8217;s Pure Ancestral to try later.
