Firm Up + Cranberry

*** Updated review 2/13/19 My dog likes this product and it has been very useful to help with loose bowel movements. However, this product is not sufficient to deal with long term digestive issues. In my review below, I went into detail about how well this helped my dog. But over time, the efficacy wore off, because the underlying dietary and health issues were not addressed. As the loose stools returned, I found it necessary to visit the vet and put my dog on a prescription diet. I was feeding my dog a diet that was overly diverse, and I have had to simplify his diet. Since that time, it is rare that he has digestive issues. When those issues arise, I will add this to his food, and it always helps. I would just urge anyone using this product to pay attention to chronic issues and to not use this as a substitute for dietary changes and proper medical care. ________________________________________________________ After using this once, I saw an immediate difference for my dog. I had no familiarity with anal gland problems when I first brought home my dog. When I was a kid, looking back, my dog had this problem, but we always thought the scooting meant that she had worms. The vet never told us any different and he treated her for worms. Now years later, my border collie has problems with anal glands. From the beginning, he always seemed to be straining when he had to defecate. It always looked to me like he was constipated, so I fed him lots of veggies hoping that this would provide some relief. His stools never seemed to be hard, but they weren't really runny either. When he started to scoot, I took him to the vet. They told me that he needed to have his anal glands expressed. They did not tell me what the underlying cause of this was, they just said that sometimes dogs just have issues like this, and occasionally he would likely need to have his anal glands expressed. They told me to give him canned pumpkin but they did not explain why. I thought it was likely to loosen his stools. I did give him pumpkin, but his problem stayed. After the second time that I took him to have his anal glands expressed, I decided to read up on the issue. It was then that I discovered that the problem was not constipation. Instead the problem was that his stools were too soft. So I turned to Amazon to find a product that might work. I chose this product based on reviews and the fact that the ingredients were grown in the USA. (Whether a product is made in the USA says little if the ingredients are not from the USA.) The difference was noted after just one serving of this product. Normally because of his difficult bowel movements, he does not tend to defecate away from home. I always thought it was odd that he did not defecate on walks or in the parks. Though, of course, I did not mind the fact that I never had to pick up after him. But he wouldn't go even if it seemed apparent that he needed to. He would wait to get home, because of the effort it took for him to relieve himself. But the day that I gave this to him, I took him to the park to play fetch. Not long after we got there, he decided to do his thing. He squatted and 1,2,3... it was done. His poo was the most firm that I had ever seen it. For the first time ever, it seemed painless and effortless. Seeing that his poo was firm may sound like a strange thing to be happy about. But it was so good to think that his suffering in this regard may have come to an end. Prior to finding this product, he would wake me several times during the night so that he could go out and alleviate himself. Since giving him this product, we have slept through without interruption every night!!! I highly, highly recommend this product for anyone struggling with this, or related issues. I would recommend it preventatively as well.

My little dog frequently has loose runny stools and upset stomach. I purchased this supplement and sprinkle it on his food every morning. His stools have firmed up and he has fewer digestive issues. I definitely recommend this!!

My dog had been having some issues with loose stools. After one use of this stuff, I saw the difference. My dog is super picky about what she eats and what her food smells like. She didn't seem to mind the smell or the taste of this in her food. Whenever she has issues, this is my new go to. It really does what it says it does! It's worth every penny to me. Especially when you see the results so fast!

I love the upgraded zip lock seal on their bag!!! Only if everyone followed in their foot steps because we all know the zip lock pulls away from the bag and we can no longer seal the bag!! The Diggin Firm Up! Pumpkin is a great product for dogs and helps keep them healthier.

it actually works if used on a constant basis. had to use a slurry delectable to mix it in to hide the pumpkin smell

This is an excellent product. Pumpkin is well known as an antidiarrheal. Sprinkle it on food, and it works. If you doesn’t, your dog likely needs a vet visit.

Most importantly - dogs loved the taste. Won't do any good if they won't ingest it. I only needed this for one of my dogs but I gave it to both to test if they'd like the flavor. I think it definitely helped firm up my 12.5yo nervous great dane's poo after a few stressful weeks for her. I also bought Vets Preferred (I think) liquid kaolin and both of these together worked like a charm. I'll be letting this and the kaolin liquid on hand forever now.

The product is good but the Amazon delivery driver left package to Kay FLAT on the ground. Package was soaked through. Fortunately the product came in a sturdy waterproof package. Buyer beware. Good product. Sketchy Amazon delivery

Wonderful product, helped my pups tummy and poops get back to normal within days! Very practical to sprinkle over food, taste seems to be great and my dog loves it!

Excellent for those loose days! Recommended by my DVM - Internal Medicine Specialist - only need a day or two to get back to normal - appears he likes the taste - I add a bit of water to make a paste and add to basic dinner - smells good which I think they like. Nice to have on hand just in base.

Ideal para cortar la diarrea de mi perro. Lo recomiendo, 100% efectivo.

Helps bulk up the poop for anal glands, and helps with diarrhea.

Es caro pero en mi caso uso muy poca cantidad y cunde mucho. Mis gatas lo toman bien y no notan nada raro al comer.
