Evo only has 2.5% or so of fiber. I want to feed her a bit more fiber so her stool siffens up. What can i ad to her food?

I chopped up some lettuce and mixed it in. Thats a pain in the butt though. Maybe mix the kibbke with some canidae or something else? I was mixing with EVO 95% meat.

Her stools loose and i think it might be from lack of fiber.

Try a tablespoon or 2 of pure pumpkin.

The pumpkin sounds like a great idea. You could also add canned green beans or other vegetables. Canidae might work, too (it does wonders for stool problems). Lettuce is 98% water, so it isn't your best source of fiber.

Have you seen this?

It's made of a lot of human grade freeze-dried and dehydrated vegetables. Just add boiling water, let sit for 10 minutes, mix in your kibble and your dog will love it.

It smells so good that I've considered trying some. ;)

Herschel, sounds like something that's not very hard to make happen with some fresh veggies and a Cuisinart though.

We fed evo rm for a small bag worth, didn't go over very well. But when her poop got hard, or too too small I microwaved some peas, or beans and added them in. Didn't have to be daily to 'fix' her poop I found.
