| Way To Much Poop! THe vet gave us a free bag of Hill's puppy food. I had no intentions of using it BUT.. I didn't realize it but we had run out of our normal puppy food. Since we were so busy I told my daughter to give her some of the Hills' till I could get out and get her regular food. Normally I would have just gone and bought her some more but we have been REALLY busy this week getting ready for competition. Anyway to make a long story short Keira has been on this food for about 3 days. Her poop has been just fine! The only problem is that she poops ALL the time!!! We filled her bowel up yesterday before we left that morning. We were gone just about all day! When I got home she had eaten all of her food and most of her water. We take her out and she poops. 35 min later she poops again. ANOTHER 30 min goes by and she poops AGAIN! Mind you they are all solid and she hadn't had anything else to eat since it was late. She had already eaten about 1/2 a cup. That is more than Diesel eats most of the time. She is normally on Lamb and rice nutro for pups. She still poops a lot. Is it the food or is she just gonna be a pooper? I know dogs have to poop but you guys have no idea how much she poops. It is never runny always nice and firm . I have just never seen a dog that was 3.5 pounds poop as much as she weighs! LOL

| Noticed the same thing with chelsea. She was with Innova, changed to Nutro and she poops alot. I recently changed to Canidae, she poops less but the same frequency. How old is your dog ? I am also wonder how many times do adult yorkie poop ? Mine 4 times and she is 7 month old. I feed her twice a day. |

| She is about 4.5 months old. She has always popped a lot. It just seemed like she was pooping a lot more when she started eating Hill's science diet. It is just nuts. She pooped 3 times with in about 1 hour or so. I feel like I am up to my eyeballs in poop.

| Buddy was just 3 and he poops 3 out of the 4x he is walked! I thought maybe he thought he is suppose to do that because I tell him what a good boy he is. It is very firm and he is on Natural Balance Organic. Maybe some go more frequently! Carol & Buddy |

| Mine poops 4 times daily. Her schedule is set like this 6.30 AM, meal followed by cottage cheese, 8.00 AM, 5.00 PM within meal and 10.30PM before she goes to bed. They are all firm and look normal. My big dog poops twice daily so I thought 4 times are a bit too much. |

| Science Diet is one of the worst dog foods on the market. Look at the ingredients.........do you see *real* food anywhere? It also has BY-PRODUCTS! Your baby is pooping so much because she's eating fillers. |
