Thanks!  How much do you think would be good to start?  She's 75 lbs.  Also, should we use it along with the Benefiber or use just the pumpkin?   ???

Yes, she has normal bowel movements but the vet thinks that her stool is probably not hard enough so that is why we've been trying all this fiber stuff.  I've read that canned pumpkin can help.

We aren't currently feeding her the high fiber food...we're just adding Benefiber to her regular food.  She eats right away.  We tried high fiber food but she would not eat it no matter what we added to it.   :(

Hello Everyone!  My friend at work told me about your site and I wanted to ask you all about anal glands.  My poor 3 year old Lab/Retriever Mix, Sophie, has been dealing with this ever since she was 4 months old.  She has get to them expressed by the vet at least once a month and because of this it is becoming painful and harder to do.  We have tried high fiber dog food but Sophie refuses to eat it. We have tried dried prunes but those make her sick.  We are now using Benefiber in her food every day.  Does anyone have any other suggestions we could try?  I do not want her to have surgery for it.  Thank you all ahead of time for any responses.
