Poops and feeds. How many times ? - YorkieTalk.com Forums

SONYSW · 02-12-2007, 07:55 PM

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 ?

WesleyandMaddie · 02-12-2007, 08:44 PM

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.

My Bunny is 1yr 11 months and 7lbs and My Bella is 1 yr and 3lb and there both free fred Sci diet and they both Poop Twice a day. Once in the morning when I get up and once when there daddy takes them out for there walk, right before bed...Its like clock work lol.

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.

Chloe used to poop several times a day. She is now about 5 months old and she poops once, sometimes twice a day, but that is 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.

So do you think I feed her too much that is why she poops 4 times a day. Should I just feed her one time (same volume) and snacks through out the day ? I think she is too young for that, let me know your opinion ?

mistyinca · 02-13-2007, 02:21 PM

Grapes are supposed to be toxic to dogs...raisins too. Please be careful.

SONYSW · 02-13-2007, 11:34 PM

Anyone here feed their dog once a day ?

Banjo · 02-15-2007, 06:35 PM

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.

I feed my adult dogs once a day.
