Why is my puppy pooping hard, small, round stools? Is he constipated?

Question

My pet dog is pooping hard stool in small round balls for many days. He is eating pedigree milk and chicken adult and white cooked rice. Sometimes he eats fruit but we check it first on internet that it is good for him or not. He is 8 and half months old.

Poor pup! If his stool seems too hard, you could try mixing a spoonful of canned pumpkin into his food at every meal to see if this helps. Switching from dry to canned food may also be helpful, since canned food has a higher moisture content and usually results in softer stools.
