This may seem like a strange question, but I can't figure this out. Pearl is 4 months old and is fed 3 times a day. What I can't understand is how she poops 6 times a day. They are solid and well formed (Yay!). I'm sure this is normal but am wondering if any of you guys experience the same thing.
Does she ask to be taken out ?
If you take her out 6 times, she might feel the need to go poop since thats what you expect from her. Thats normal.
If she doesn't asked to be taken out, take her out to poop right after each meal.
Zoe is almost 2 she's a pooping machine too!! My big guy goes several times a day but not as often. Our pups are like people they all have different metabolisms.
Our guy goes about 3-4 times a day, however if we are going out and he is going to go in his crate we tell him to go poo poo, (yeah I know) and he does. He seems to know when we want him to go and he will even if its just little, obviously he didn't have too and could have easily held it. LOL
Amor poops about 4 times. She actually has a relative regular poop time. First thing in morning, about noon to 1 pm, around 5 to 6 and then around 10 pm. It does vary and used to be a lot more until we found a food that she wasn't allergic to.
Food quality plays a huge role in waste production. My guys poop 1-2 times daily max but we raw feed so there is no fillers such as potatoes, peas, grains.
Pearl is fed three times a day with Wellness Core Grain Free Puppy Kibble. She gets either a tablespoon of yogurt, pumpkin or Wellness Core Puppy canned food. I do not look at the number of times she poops as a problem but more of a question as to how can she poop 5-6 times a day when she only eats three times. I guess each individual meal does not equate to an individual poop.
My guys are also RAW fed, they poop 1 to 2 times a day; another bonus is they are also smaller poops!
