If your dog is still having loose stools after the first week on Nom Nom, but otherwise acting fine, you may consider adding a dog probiotic to his diet. Probiotics are strains of live bacteria that support normal digestive function and help the overall immune system within the gastrointestinal tract. A common dietary supplement for humans as well, they can promote the normal integrity of the digestive system.

In addition, bacteria help the overall immune system within the gastrointestinal tract in the event that there is some outside influences or harmful bacteria that have somehow gotten into the intestinal tract. A probiotic can easily mix with the food.
