Sorry it's past my bedtime haha. I'd probably do the sun dancer.
wow no dog should be going that often I know this is a little late but I had a really bad bout of loose stools with my lab husky mix and found that if it happens some foods that help are switch the diet to cooked rice and raw chicken if you cook the chicken no bones at all, Pumpkin as mentioned works wonders and plain yogurt also works wonders I would also fast the dog for a couple of meals in the beginning to allow the digestive system to empty I feed my lab twice a day therefore he missed breakfast and went on the recovery diet that evening. I now keep pumpkin on hand at all times and have not had any problems since. Good luck I know it can be frustrating seeing your little buddy like that, it always drives me crazy.
For the pureed pumpkin, which ever is easier for you, but I believe the canned we get at the store has been cooked then pureed like you would if you were cooking down a pumpkin at home.

*blush* The problem is that there aren't enough mastiffs in the country, so people don't really know how to take care of them (stands true for any "imported" breed actually). It amazes me to see how people adjust their mastiffs to their own food (including complete vegetarianism) and then complain that their mastiffs aren't doing well.Glad Boone's digestive system is doing ok. Remember to do slow transition to the new food. Kinda sucks that it takes so long for you to get dog food. Good for you being persistence and getting the best dog food you can get in your area.
You're not the only one! I never thought I'd be this excited to see poop in my life! Since the first day he's come (a little over a month ago) I've either been watching every poo or ask my hubby to take a picture and send it to me!Sometimes I am shocked at how interested I am in my dogs poop, and then it dawns on me the only reason I care is beacuse I'm a concerned and I would like to think good pet owner some people ask me why I care so much about the poop and I always tell them that it is a looking glass into your dogs digestive system and alot can be learned by what you see! I am glad that everything is working out for you keep us posted!
I will.. I'll keep posting the feeding changes on a new thread in the forum, so if I'm making a mistake somewhere, I'm going to rely on you good folks to boot my bum!Go very very slow with every diet change, slowly phase in the new kibble, slowly phase out the extras. If it takes weeks than so be it.
