If you wish to increase fiber content in the food, you can add canned pumpkin to help normalize or make stools more solid. Metamucil crackers can also be used and for a dog Shero's size you can give 2 crackers per day. I would start with the canned pumpkin in the food and see if this works well. If any diarrhea develops after starting the pumpkin, discontinue giving this. Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns and I would be more than happy to help you further.
