Does anyone else's Yorkie Poop tons?? Okay, strange topic...but somehow you get used to talking about poop and pees with your little furbaby. So, Schmoo is 6 months old and weighs in at 2.75 pounds...not a very big girl. She has a healthy appetite and we are only feeding her all natural kibble mixed with some kibble for sensitive tummies. We do add a teaspoon of all natural baby food (potatoes and chicken) in the mornings. The issue, problem, whatever you want to call it, is that she poops ALOT. She only eats twice a day...and poops 3-4 times a day...but they are BIG...we make jokes that she poops more than she weighs in a day...is this normal?? Does anyone else have the same issue?? She is happy and healthy and a hungry little girl...she just poops and poops, but the size of it amazes us, she does have a sensitive tummy...thus the special food, but her poops are not runny...they are of good consistency...any advice?? thanks Nadine & Schmoo :animal-pa |
wow, not sure, my Henry is only 11 weeks old and weighs 3 pounds..and he poo's like a rabbit, tiny lil bits lol, maybe 3 times a day though. Wish I could help you, i'm a new mommy! |
Seth and Sasha poop 2 times a day. Once in the morning once at night before bed. What food are you feeding? |
You'll find many folks will say that the sign of a good diet is they poop only after eating. However, my girls are fed organic yogurt for breakfast, The Honest Kitchen freeze-dried raw for dinner, and we usually share a banana each day along with a few treats that are homemade from wholesome ingredients. Sissy poops only 2-3 times a day, but Angel poops at least 6 times, and like you described her's are NOT small and firm in consistency. She definitely does not have an sensitive stomach. |
A lot of dog food has just too much filler, and because if this, they tend to poop way too often. Evidently she's eating more filler than necessary. Have you considered switching her to "real" food?? It would be so much better and healthier for her. |
Schmoo is eating an all organic food made from veggies and beef, just a kibble mixed with the vet food Eukanuba Low Residue, and as I said an organic baby food...she poops 3-4 times a day, but good solid consistency and not runny, but big...lol...her body weight in a day ;) Nadine :animal-pa |

My Babies only poo twice a day, Once in the am and the other after there dinner, We laugh at molly to, She is the smallest and sometime her poo is the BIGGEST, Lol:p |
Well we are in Canada and that brand of food is not available to us, any one in Canada that has some all natural food they recommend? Anything is worth a try, how about recipes for at home to make? My hubby is a chef so I am sure he can whip it up for the pup? Thanks Nadine :animal-pa |
Mine pood a lot on canidae (maybe 5X a day). I home cook and now they go 2X in 24hrs. |
We are a 3x per day poop house for both my furbabies! |

Here is the link if you want to check them out.... http://www.thehonestkitchen.com/index.shtml My girls eat Force and Verve. |
Ellie poops once a day and sometimes twice. I would not be comfortable if she went more than 3 times. I am sure there are plenty of dogs who poop more than that which is probably just fine as long as their vets think they are healthy. Wow, Luvmysissy, 6 times?:eek: I have never heard of that.:) |
That's great, thanks for the link...anymore that people know of would be wonderful...and yes, thankfully the vet thinks she is really healthy. |

now on their raw diet they only poo 2-3 times per day and it is very firm and there is hardly ANY smell! yay! :D |
We feed ours 3 times a day and they are in between 4 and 5 lbs and their poo is like a child' size poo. Pretty big size for such small dogs. Can not believe it came out of them. Atleast they are going...LOL. They usually poo 2x a day...sometimes 3. |
I'm still free feeding, but she is going 3-4 times a day. She was going 5-6 and the vet was very unhappy with that. I wish I could get her down to 3 times a day. |
Penny gets wet food in the AM and PM. She has kibble available all day. She only poops after she eats. I guess that's ok. |
We had the same thing with Lucy. Her poops were so big that I would bring the whole family out to look. But as it ended up she had stomach inflammation and was not able to get all the nutrients she needed from her food. They put her on a easy to digest prescription diet and it changed everything. Her coat is beautiful, fuller, and she put on a pound. This probably has nothing to do with what is going on with your dog, but I thought I'd let you know what happened to us. |

Jamie was on Wellness puppy and his poos were much bigger and smelllllyyyy, but I switched him to NV Raw Medallions and now is poos are tiny and smell free. Oh and he poos 2 times a day. |
Chloe poops 2-3 times a day. Sometimes more but she eats it before I can count it!!!! What a gross little doggie she can be!!! |
Chester poops only once to twice a day and he weighs 9 lbs and he eats solid gold and wet food from addiction or evangers. I had chester on timberwolf for a while and he pooped a lot on it. I know extra fiber can clean them out alittle more |
