| Poops and feeds. How many times ? I am curious, how many times did your pup poops and eat ? Do you mind to share ? Mine eats Canidae mixed with a spoon of merrick or sprinkled of dry liver. She eats total about 1/2 to 2/3 cup dry kibbles twice a day but poops almost 4 times a day. I just can't believe this. She is 7 months and 4.5 lbs. At what age do you think she will poop only twice a day ? Do you mind to share or give an idea to reduce numbers of poop ? |

| Wesley is 11.5 pounds. Maddie is 6.5 pounds. They both free feed on Canidae. Maddie is more of a snacker than Wesley. She is always taking a bite here and there. Wes prefers to eat more less times. Wes poops 2 times a day. Maddie poops 4 or 5 times a day. |

| Bobbi is almost 4lbs and 6.5 months old. He is free fed Canidae all life stages mixed with Life's Abundance all life stages. I feed 1 tablespoon unsalted cottage cheese mixed with 1 teaspoon missing link and a fish oil capsule each morning. He poops about 15 minutes after eating his cottage cheese and supplement. He eats about 4-5 times a day whenever he feels like it.........he is an excellent eater and have never had eating issues with him........my best guess is that he eats about 3/4 cup a day. (Can't tell for sure because the poodle is free fed the same food). He poops again around 5 pm in the evening.

| I do not no why mine poops so much. I see nothing wrong with her diet but in my opinion at least 4 times ar a bit too much. Do you think probably she is too young ? The poops are firm but just don't understand. |

| Maybe the older your furbaby gets, the less she will poop. Mine pooped a lot when they where younger.... As long as she is going and it firm... I would not worry about it. |

| Harvey Eats Ceaser Refined, Mixed With Small Bite Mixer, He Eats Between 4-6 Pm (never Wants Much Before Then) But Will Sometimes Eat Some Toasted Bread In A Morning. He Then May Want Some More At About 9 Pm - Small Amount Given Then. He Only Eats It Warmed, And I Have Tried All Sorts Of Different Foods At Different Times Etc. I Leave Semi-dried Morsels Out All The While, And He Picks At Them Now And Then. He Eats Grapes, Pears, Apples And Apricots - Though Only Once In A While. He Drinks Water. He Poops First Thing In A Morning At About 8 Am - Then Usually Between 7-9 Pm Also. Just The Two Times. Good Luck.

| I Think Only If You Give Them Too Many - My Other Yorkie That I Had For 14 Years Used To Eat Lots Of Grapes, And He Was Always Ok With Them. Harvey Only Has Them Once In A While Though.

| Banjo is now 5 and a half months. I have just started to feed him now twice a day instead of 3 times a day. He is a big boy at 10lb. Not overweight just tall and bigger. He gets half a cup at breakfast and half a cup at 4.30. course there are treats in between depending if hes been a good boy. He loves celery and sweet potato. Twice a day feeds he seems fine on. He didnt seem to miss the noon time feed. He now poops less too. Twice sometimes 3 times a day. |
