| puppy kibble What I should feed my 8 week old pups? I'm giving them royal canine right now, but they are pooping way too much they go about 4 times a day. It's not loose or anything. I read on a thread before that certain dry foods make them go alot. thanks

| 4 times a day is pretty much the norm for an 8 week old pup. He's just a baby who should really still be with his mom. He'll slow down in a couple of months.

| Pups at this age should be fed small meals 3 -4 times daily and they usually poo after each meal. I feed Nutro

| Haha, I feed Royal Canin to my babies...it's an excellent food and highly recommended by breeders and vets alike. That's less than my babies pooped at that age! Consider yourself lucky! lol |

| Sounds like they are doing quite well on the Royal Canin...I wouldnt change them unless you really have too as that can be worse...4 poops a day is VERY normal for 8 week old puppies..and its firm and normal looking..why change a good thing...you could switch and end up with puppies having runs 4 times a day...

| Thanks everyone - It's not that I mind all the pooping. I just wasn't sure if they were suppose to poop that much. I was concerned. Sometimes it's more then 4 times a day. But sounds like it's normal thanks.
