My German Shepherd has diarrhea. Should I stop feeding wet food?

Question

Do you have to feed a dog both dry and wet food? I have a German Shepard that gets diarrhea frequently and I want to stop the wet food. Pet's info: Dog | German Shepherd | Female | spayed | 5 years and 11 months old | 80 lbs

No you don't have to feed both wet and dry food. If the wet food gives Mercy the runs, then simply stop giving it and stick with the dry kibble from now on. However there is a possibility that the wet food is not to blame for the loose stool, at which point you can try giving her 1-2tsp of canned pumpkin (not the filling) to her food daily to add fiber and help form the stools. If this still doesn't help then it's best to have her stool examined by your vet.
