Kiki is 10 months old and has been on Royal Canin Yorkshire food for a couple months. She most always poops morning and night but occasionally like yesterday and today, she pooped four times in one day. I am slowly trying to switch her over to Canidae Lamb & Rice but have only been putting in maybe 10 pieces of Canidae with the RC food for a couple days now. Do you think it is this gradual switching that is causing the excessive poop. I would hate to switch to Canidae and have 4 poops a day.
Which food are you using for your Yorkies?

If may be from switching the food. Switching food can cause some digestive changes at first but it should balance back out within a week or two. With both foods, i wouldn't expect to see an excess of pooping so its probably just making the switch right now. Are her stools normal otherwise? I'd give it another couple weeks to see if she starts going less again. There are occasional days when Lacy will poop more than once so maybe she just had to go more for a couple days. I'd just keep a watch on it for now.
Lacy is on Nature's Variety raw diet.
