How many poohs does your dog do in a day?

[maeafc]

My Jack Russel does around 6 good quality poohs a day, is this the average?
It seems quite a lot to me.
I clear up after him and know there are no worms and his health is good, he's not fat and has a small appetite.

Is this the norm?


This is my first post, sorry about the subject!

Don't apologize, it's a very important subject, lol

One of my girls does #2 about 4-5 times daily, and one is a very regular twice a day girl. I think it probably varies a lot between dogs; the important thing is to watch for quality, not quantity (e.g. signs of digestive problems and parasites).

WOW, 4-6 seems like a LOT! What are you guys feeding your dogs? And what age are they?

Gonzo goes once a day, if it's twice he has gotten a lot of extra treats. Totally firm and healthy. I would think with 6 BM's, there is a lot of unusable food products (like grains/corn) passing through the dog.

Frequent (2-4 times a day), large, formed stools are an indication of a diet that is adequate in fiber and one that is moving through a system at the proper rate, scrubbing the walls of the intestines to prevent toxins from laying there and putrefying in the gut.
