Here's another thing my OH and I disagree on. He says that because I give her "too much food" she poos it all out. Today on her walk she went 4 times and my OH thinks this is abnormal.
I always thought it was quite normal for a dog to poo several times during a day. Willow on average goes 2 or 3 times a day. Am I overfeeding Willow so she's going more, or am I feeding the right amount of a healthy diet and she just has a good metabolism?
IS there a normal? If so, WHAT is the normal? (She's 19 months GSD cross)
Not sure really Hayley as id say dogs are just like us and we also poop once/twice or more
Rosie only gets fed twice now daily and poops about 4 times but her poos are in good form and dont get loose near the end,that can be a sign of overfeeding
Sorry thats not much help but its nice to know what and how many others are going too
"her poos are in good form and dont get loose near the end,that can be a sign of overfeeding"
I never knew that - you learn something new everyday. My boy poos probably 5 or 6 times a day. Most days they are hard, but then we go through a stage that they are runny. He is only a puppy. He is on vitamins and the weather has been really hot in Aussi Land - 38 degrees tomoz.
My pup is still also a puppy and it has been the past two wks her poos have been ok.Mixture of what food,how much and how often can make a big difference
Dont think the weather changes the poo either Rachael,been hot/cold/cool/snow and sleets and shes still pooed the same.
