Donating YT 500 Club Member | Pooping Question How often should Jasper be pooping daily? He only does once as a general rule. Occassionally twice. He eats SD Small Bites 3 times a day. His stool is normal and no straining. He is my first yorkie and also my first dog this small. Just seeing what everyone else's pups are doing. Thanks!

| I'm just guessing here but if he's doing his business regularly and it seems to be of normal consistency (not runny or loose...ugh) then he's probably fine. If he is showing no signs of discomfort I would think he's probably fine also. Each puppy is different in some ways so what is normal for your pup may be a little less than normal for someone else's pup. The key is...is your pup eating, doing his business, playing, and doing all things "puppy" then he's probably fine! Someone else may come along with better info than mine but really, only you can decide if your pup's functioning is "normal". If in doubt I would run to my vet. Good luck, you are a great parent to be concerned!!!

| Sounds perfect to me!! Each dog is different. Jackson usually will go 2x a day (when we first wake up, and late afternoon). But if he gets a lot of exercise for the day, he often will go more. For example, on our 3 mile walk today, he poo'ed twice during it (and it's often softer than usual). And he had already gone in the AM. I think activity brings it on... it has happened no matter what food he's been on, so I think it's just him! ha, but if we're just at the house for the day, he will go once or twice - two small solid logs.
