| Need help with Ziggie pooping too much My Ziggie is 2.6 lbs and 10 months old. I switched him to fromm four star grain free about 5 months ago and he seems to do well on it except for THIS MONTH !! He has started to poop 5 times a day! When it used to be 2-3. Could this food be causing this? I’m just worried about grain free maybe being too rich for him? But this is what his vet suggested and I just don’t know what could cause 5-6 poops a day. No change in color or texture just more often! |

| I only feed my Yorkie's Merrick Lamb and Sweet Potatoes. They love it and poop less than anything else I have tried. |

| Is anything new like different treats or anything? I think I would talk to your vet.

| Yeah I figured, I was just worried about it being too rich for him and he has actually only been on it for 4 months but still that’s quite a while. I did give him some grain free treats this month he hasn’t had before but he only gets 1 every few days and NONE this week because I thought they might be the problem. He is still pooping 5 times a day :/ |

I know you said there's no change in color or texture, but is his poop healthy looking? Like well shaped play-dough like? Or is it soft or mushy? I find that when my two caught a bug or ate something dirty on the street they poop a LOT, but the poop is not healthy-looking poop. When my two ate Fromm Game Bird flavour, they pooped once or twice a day but never 5 times... hope you get to the bottom of this soon!
