You can try to change to her to boiled chicken and rice and add canned pumpkin or canned greens to add more fiber to her diet and help her go a little easier. If the straining or soft stool continues, then I would have her checked for an infection or parasites. Once this problem is fixed you can transition her back to puppy food. When they are on canned or wet food, they get so much water there they often do not drink much
