That is the question. This is an ongoing problem and it is entirely dependent on your breed of dog and how well it handles the digestive process. I’ve had both types of dog and what works on one will not necessarily work on the other; it is literally a case of trial and error…
The problem is that when there is an error things can become quite messy. I had a King Charles Spaniel many years ago now and he had a bit of a tricky tummy. Whatever i seemed to feed him was too rich for him. Eventually he ended up on a diet of chicken and rice. Now this sounds perfectly reasonable i suppose, but i was still in two minds about whether or not he was getting enough good stuff; not only this, but he was still having problems with his runny tummy (although not half as bad as when i had him on tinned wet food).
Aftet chatting with a few experts on the subject i switched him to iams and found that it worked a treat. Now i wasn’t sure exactly what was in it i have to be honest, but it certainly did the “poo” situation a lot of good. There were no more nasty, wet messes to clean up on the pavement; it was getting to the stage that i needed a mop and bucket to clean up after my dog!
And of course this works the other way around. If you have a dog on dry food that cannot do a poo then you need to switch him to tinned wet food, or at aleast a little in his diet.
