I have two yorkie girls, one is almost two the other 18 mo. the younger one seems to be pooping more than she used too, I have them both on taste of the wild, maybe its not good for them, have tried a few different foods, they seem to like this one, but dont think they should go more than twice a day, and it is soft, any advice would be appreciated thanks

some dogs can't tolerate certain foods so it's a possibility that the food isn't agreeing with with your younger one. what were they eating before you switched them to taste of the wild? did you change the food right away or do a gradual switch? food changes typically should be done over at least a 2 week period especially if it's the first time you have ever changed foods.

Have you switched between the different varieties of TOTW?
The pacific stream and lamb are lower calorie , less protein, and less ingredients (no chicken) then the other two.
