Puppy poops...

Thursday I am taking him to a holistic vet and get a good puppy recipe done up. He actually eats more than Laika.

He only poops 2 times a day. I thought puppies poop a lot...

Do puppies have softer poops than adult dogs? How long will it take to firm up? Of course I will bring this up with my vet. Just wonder what others have experience. Laika didn't have firm poops either.

The pups still here all have firm poops... if he is only pooping twice a day maybe he should eat more? Does he eat all his food at once or leave a bit?
he could have picked something up - we had a pup come with coccidia and he passed it around :( not a lot of fun.

Are you feeding him a different diet? I honestly can't remmebr if B's puppy poos were softer than the other dogs, geesh it was a whole year ago :wink: Actually he isn't my puppy so I didn't have much clean up duty.

You might want to ask on the natural food list.

Oh I took him in and they checked his poops, he is fine. Different diet?? I put him on raw the vet said since he had diarrhea that I might as well go ahead and change him. I will post on the other site too.

I feed him 3 times a day. Kerry said dogs on raw poop less. Laika's poops are smaller that the cats!

He usually finishes everything in his dish. If he leaves it I pick it up. But he is full every meal.
Smaller then cat poop 8) Sign me up on the diet. :D As you can tell I clean up the poo in this yard.

I thought that too before I got Bally and spent the whole 12 hour car trip home from his breeder worrying because he just wasn't interested in a potty break. He rarely needed to be let outside at home either.... mind you, now he's a pooping machine
he had a formed poop this morning almost 2 weeks but it happened! yeah!!
Thats good.
