How many poohs does your dog do in a day?

[binka_nugget]

What are you feeding him? 6 seems like a heck of a lot to me.

My boys go 1-2 times a day on average

[lv4dogs]

All of mine go once to twice a day.

I'm betting the many bowel movements are caused by either the food and/or the amount of feedings.

All 3 of mine eat the same food, Nutro Natural. Gulliver poohs normally 2 times a day. Murph, once a day. Oz, sometimes once, sometimes twice a day.

I really imagine its counts how many time you let the dogs out. Autumn goes out 4 time a day on average, but when we go to the dog park she has to poop 2-3 times within the timespan we are there.

Well, I think Molli goes once or twice a day, and Sam goes about 4 times a day.

It all depends on the age, size, and what you feed your dog. If your dog seems to be going way too much, it's probably because you don't have a very good brand of dog food.

Overfeeding can cause frequent stools as well. Healthy adult dogs digest food in 7-10 hours - this means their bodies are collecting all the nutrients from the food. When I get my puppy, he will get fruits and veggies as treats - and some raw bones as well. Feeding too many treats can cause frequent stools and generally aren't healthy for you pet.

2-3 poos a day is normal and healthy. If your dog is going 4+ a day, the food needs changed or the dog is consuming too much food. I just learned this and have cut Pearl's food down as she was going 4 times a day. Now she normally goes 2 times and very rarely 3 times a day.

They are all different!!! Lacy goes everytime she is let outside Maggy goes twice and molly is about 4 times daily....it is pretty normal i guess they are all different in there own way

Fenway goes "big boy potty" (that's what I call it ) on average 3 times per day - morning, after work and before bedtime.

Is your JR a puppy? Puppies poop more than adult dogs.

Anita is so regular for poo... She always goes twice a day (1 in the morning, and 1 at night, before she goes to bed...)

& times sounds like too much for me... Maybe it's what you're feeding him???
