| Poop and new puppy Ok, so our new little chocolate baby Chewy is almost 5 months old now. We have had hom for almost 2 weeks. My question is, how many times a day do puppies usually poop?? He's going 4 times a day. None of my other dogs ever went that much. I only feed him maybe 1/5 of cup of food at feedings and he eats the same food that the breeder fed him. He weighs almost 5 lbs. He was getting very small treats for housetraining purposes, but I cut those out because I thought maybe i was feeding him too much. He pooped 7 times Monday because he had really bad diarrhea. Finally cleared that up. Is this normal??? just seems like alot of poop to me Thanks! |

| They usually poop more often as puppies. How many times a day are you feeding him? What is the brand of food you are feeding?

| Blazer is almost 7 months now and he poops 2 or 3 times a day normally. Usually a while after eating. He eats 2 to 3 times a day, depends on his mood. My big dog used to poop a TON but then I figured out that his food was too rich for him and causing him issues. I switched up his food and he only poops 2 or 3 times a day now (unless he gets a sick butt for some reason.)

| I only feed him twice a day and I feed him Nutrisource dry puppy food with just a little wet food mixed with it. This is what the breeder was feeding him. |

| Gizmo is on Nutrisource puppy too, and poops about 4 times a day too. I've been thinking about switching to something else to see if he'll go less. |
