What size is your dog? Maybe the little ones are more affected.
We put a blop of canned pumpkin (not the pie filling) in our guy's kibbles morning and night. this was recommended by a vet up north and seems to work to keep things firm.

All of the pest control/fertilization companies claim that their products aren’t harmful to pets. Of course, that cannot be true. Not that they personally are lying...they are just repeating the information provided by the manufacturer's literature. But there is no way that they can spray and/or spread all of the chemicals that kill/repel all of the insects in this area without leaving a harmful residue.
No Way. My goal in the next few months is to find a way to go totally pesticide free (if possible) in the small backyard grassy area that my dogs walk on.
Canned pumpkin is indeed a good stool firmer-upper as well as a stool softener. Amazingly, it works both ways. You can also spoon the canned pumpkin into ice cube trays and then freeze. That way you can pop out a "pumpkin-pop" when you need it and it doesn't go to waste.
