What are you feeding him? Poo is waste, by-product, stuff the body can't use and disposes of. A good, premium dog food will yield less poo to deal with. I feed mine Royal Canin and both only poo once a day. |
I've always schedule fed for this reason too....poop times are predictable. I fee RC too, but it yields 2 poops per day.
With an extra small pup you just may have to feed more often. My ZoE isn't small, but she get fed 3 times per day. Regular servings morning and early evening, and then a lil mini meal before bed (or she'll puke bile in the wee hours of the night/early morning).
