I just have a queston if someone could please answer it. Scarlet poops probably 5 or 6 times a day. Is that normal? She is 13 weeks old. I know she eats off and on throughout the day, but not significately! I wondering if its because she has been eating my cats food. I try to keep her out of it, but its likes telling a 5 year old to stay away from choclate. She and my cat are best friends and share everything even there food! Im not sure if this is a good or bad thing. Any suggestions or comments would be greatley appreciated.

What food are you feeding her? other than the cat food she's getting into

crystal dawn · 09-22-2008, 09:17 AM

Its called Exclusive for puppies. Its little kibbles that the pet store reccommended.

I've never heard of the brand but just looked at the website and just noticed that Mars (manufacturer) just had a voluntary pet food recall. Looks like this brand is produced there.

PMI Nutrition

AAWWWW thanks so much! I know she's in doggy heaven...its just so hard to say good bye to these little guys. I also have 3 furbutts at home that keep me company plus I volunteer for a yorkie rescue.

I hope your baby feels better soon. I really hate when they're sick and you don't know whats wrong. I'm a worry wart!!

That's a good question. I feed my 4 month old puppy Life's Abundance and he also poops about 4 - 5 times a day. If we allowed him to eat his big brother's food, we'd have a 15# puppy. Gucci is only 3#. I put his food out in the morning. Sometimes he'll finish before lunch and sometimes I'll get home from work and he's just finishing. I think he's a social eater. . . We then put out another serving which he'll finish before bed. He doesn't eat a whole lot during the day, but will poop just about every time we walk him; when he gets up in the morning, again at lunch time, 5:00 and then again at 9 or 10 when we're getting ready for bed. And SOMETIMES, he'll leave us a little gift as well! The only treats he gets are Cheerios and that's when we're "training". He's coming along, but there's lots of room for improvement in the "come" command!

LOL that is a great pic!

Mine only poop twice a day and thats because they're on a feeding schedule. I do find that if you free feed they kinda poop alot....but with puppies you have to in a way because they do have to eat more.

avasmama75 · 09-22-2008, 03:44 PM

yup bowie is only pooping about twice a day now. I feed him at 7:30am , 1:00 and 7:30 pm

bellasmomok · 09-22-2008, 04:21 PM

Bella is 5 mo. old now and is FINALLY pooping less!!! Hurray!! It's still 3-4 times, but that's waaayyyy better than the 6-ish times before..... She eats Wellness and is pad trained. Do you do pads or outside? Sometimes I think Bella just likes to go to her pad billions of times a day....she pees way more than 6 times a day! I wonder if since she's pad trained she never developed the "hold it" mentality....she just goes whenever she slows down a second or feels like she might need to go. She does hold it overnight now sometimes, though (when she's sleeping in my hamper), so that's a start. Maybe she'll go less as she gets older? Is your puppy pad or outside trained?? Just wondering if there's anything to my theory...
