My issue is every time I step outside to his cage when he eats, there is litterally tons of poop. I have a 30 pound labradoodle as well and im not even going to exaggerate, but he poops more than she does every day. is this normal? namely my garage has turned into a minefield with little presents everywhere. I should also add that since he has been on this food his bm's are explosive and much lighter in color and the smell is much more foul. I took him outside a few mornings ago he ran around the side of my fiances car and it sounded like a whoopie cushion was going off. he managed to even get it on my garage door.
Im happy hes gaining weight since hes had so many issues, but I cant imagine its good for him to be pooping this much. |
I am trying to get my brain around the bolded line above...I am sorry, I was sick recently and I am slow on the uptake...do you keep him outside in a cage? Do you feed him outside in a cage? Beyond that, I agree with bchgirl....this food is not agreeable to his system....he is eliminating what his body is not able to use, which is apparently most of it. You need a high quality food, it may cost more, but you will not feed as much, it will be utilized by the pup much better, and it will certainly cut down on the horrific messes!
