A "whole lotta" poop! Ok, being new to this breed, this may be a stupide question. :rolleyes: Carl poops at least 4 times a day. This seems a bit much to me. I am feeding him Nutro Ultra puppy lamb and rice. Is this the cause? I was under the impression that twice a day is normal and that the poop would be small and compact. What's reality? |
I think that they vary a lot and of course it does depend what you feed them - can't help with opinions on the food as we don't have it here in Wales. Gizzie will be a year old soon and she goes about 4 times a day too whereas Gypsy Rose aged almost 2 (who is fed on the same food exactly) only goes twice. I think that Gizzie has cut it down to 3 times recently though!! She has a sensitive stomach and I have to be careful what I feed her - wondered if your baby has? You could try a different food maybe? Ana xx :aimeeyork |
I had a POOP post a long time ago,, cause I thought Bailey was GOING way too much,, but I guess hes fine,, He is 1 now and he goes 8am, 12pm, 5pm, and about 11pm. Usually about 4 times a day,, but it varies,, sometimes more sometimes less, I have his food down all the time, and sometimes he eats alot,sometimes not at all... :confused: But, at 13 pounds I'm not too worried!! ha LOL :D |
Jo eats Innova puppy food and he goes 2 times a day...sometimes 3 but not very often. When he does go it's small, compact and no offensive odor. It was explained to me that when they're on a good food that doesn't have as many fillers they absorb more nutrients from it so there isn't as much waste. I leave the dry food down all the time and he gets Wellness canned puppy food mixed with dry 2 times a day. |
lol...I love poop posts ! I would think as long as he's going and it looks normal - LET him poop his little heart out and don't worry too much ! :D That SHOULD slow down as they grow and eat less - puppies can poop alot that's for sure. |
Thanks so much for your replies! I had been considering changing foods to Innova or Wellness. I haven't decided between the two and it may just come down to a matter of which one is easier to get. I'm hoping that it will cut down on the amount of poop and the smell(!). I've also noticed that his poops seem a little "grainy". I'm looking forward to the days of longer bladder control and compact poops! :D |
LOL !!! It will happen ! that was a cute post :D |
I think it is different with all dogs. Maggie is now 4 months old and has never gone more than twice a day. When we brought her home at 8 wks., it was still twice a day. Her schedule is wake up and Nite Nite poo times. |
age How old is your Yorkie? An adult usually has a stool once or twice a day...pups go alot more the first 4 months. |
Chewy poops 4 times a day, I think your pup is fairly normal. |
Brutus aka "the poop machine" will be 6 months in 5 days and he goes 3 or 4 times a day. At first it concerned me but they're "normal" poops. He only eats Nutro Max dry with some treats thrown in. |
Carl is 12 weeks. It's glad to hear that he is normal. I keep looking at his tiny little body(2.5 lbs) and thinking, "where is all that coming from?" :confused: |
