| How old is your yorkie? Merlin is almost 5 months, I feed Orijen puppy and he poops 3 times a day. I thought that was normal for a puppy?

Donating YT 4000 Club Member | Are these the pups you referred to the other day? I got the impression they were still quite young. http://www.yorkietalk.com/forums/3203872-post13.html If so, then pooping 3-4 times a day is completely normal no matter what brand of food they are on.

| My 4 year old is on Natural Balance original ultra small breed bites and my 5 month old and they poop twice a day, when I got my little she was on a kibble and she was going 4to5 times a day and it was a lot, I couldn't believe she have so much in in her, her poops was bigger the my 4 year old. So I changed her to the Natural Balance. |

| Mine's 9 months old, I feed NOW! he poops 3 times a day... Once when he wakes up, once after he eats, and once after supper. I've heard really good things about NB. that's what my breeder feeds. |

Donating YT 4000 Club Member | Free feeding could be part of the problem. Sometimes (not always) they eat too much, so it has to come out. But more often it's because the physical act of chewing and swallowing sets off peristalsis, contractions in the GI system. Those contractions follow through all the way down the intestines, causing the dog to have more frequent bowel movements.
