My pup's motions are sticky and a bit loose. His eyes are watering too. What changes has to be made in his diet?

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Because of his age this is not likely due to his diet. I recommend taking Shinzo to a vet so they can look at his stools under a microscope. It is likely he has intestinal parasites and they will need to know which ones to get him on the correct medications. They will be able to discuss his current diet and recommend something else if it is not adequate. Good luck and kisses to Shinzo!
