Miss Poops-a-Lot I'm considering a food switch from Nutro to maybe Canidae or some other brand. Riley poops all of the time! Just last night, she pooped twice in her kennel overnight, then pooped this morning first thing. I'm wondering if giving her a different food will help out with this? Is she getting all she needs from the food? Thoughts? Also, I should mention that she pees a lot as well. She'll have her normal releases, then I'll catch her trying to pee a drop or two here and there. Is it because of her tiny size (1.6 lbs @ 17 wks) or will changing food help this? |

It might just have to do with the quality of the food Riley is eating.........many of them have fillers ;) |
Sorry, I said Nutro but I should have clarified Nutro Natural Chicken Meal, Rice & Oatmeal Puppy food. |
Mine are both on Canidae. Wes poops 2 times a day. On the other hand, Maddie poops 4 or 5 times a day. I leave food out all day and Maddie is constantly snacking. I just think the food goes right through her. P.S. Have you gotten the food I sent you yet? :) |
Both my furbabies eat EVO and Merrick wet food and they are fed only once a day but I do give them some at night in the form of treats (inside a puppy kong) They poop at night and in the morning, and occassionally mid-morning on a weekend since they ran around more with me being home. :p |

I'm not sure about the Nutro recipe that you are feeding, but I recently noticed that Nutro must have changed the recipe of the Nutro Lamb and Rice Puppy because the original bag I bought had be feeding almost twice the amount for my puppy's size and the newest bag I bought (maybe less fillers now?). Tucker eats less and therefore poops less although he does poop about 3 times before lunch, once late afternoon and once evening. Perhaps the Nutro recipe that you are feeding has recently done the same thing - our new lable has a heart shaped emblem on the bag that say "The Smart Start System..." I had considered changing to Chicken Soup, but it kind of upset Tucker's tummy so I thought for now we would stick to what we know and try again another time. Let us know what you try.
