I'm sure it was the treats. Loki has a super sensitive tummy and we use Charlee Bears (The cheese ones) They are small to begin with and only have a few ingredients.

Also, I know he has been regular until now, but you might want to consider changing his food - slowly. In my opinion (not meaning to offend) but Eukanuba isn't the greatest food. Lamb is the first ingredient yes, but it's followed by a bunch of junk. The "rice" is not even rice but a rice by-product left over from making the good part of the rice into something else. Corn is a top ingredient which is just filler and makes your dog poop more often. It bothers me that Eukanuba is advertised as one of the best brands out there when really it's like saying Cheetos are health food because of the "cheese".

Here's some awesome brands:
Canidae
Chicken Soup
Innova
California Natural
Natural Balance (ONLY the Ultra Premium)
Wellness

That's not even close to a complete list of the great foods out there, but those are fairly easy to find. We recently settled on Canidae (Loki is picky and allergic) and he did well on Natural Balance before that.

I'm suggesting all of this because his poop on the good food is tiny. There's just not as much junk to poop out (plus, they eat less of the good food.) He poops about twice a day now, but they are small and practically disintegrate before I get out there to pick it up every 2-3 days.
