Why my dog poop so much?

The younger your puppy is, the more frequently it will have to poop. This is because you won't hold your bowel movements as often until you get older and learn a routine.

In addition, puppies have a higher metabolism than adult dogs, which causes them to shed more poop quickly and regularly.

In general, your puppy will poop 3-5 times a day. If he does less, that is, 1 poop a day, your puppy could be constipated. You will often see that he poops based on how much fiber he has in his diet.

Why does my puppy poop more than average?

If you see your puppy poop more than 5 times a day, it could be due to several factors. First, if your food contains a lot of corn and wheat, that might make you go to the bathroom more often.

Sometimes puppies may poop more frequently because they have an underlying medical condition. One of them, in particular, is canine colitis. It is an inflammation of the large intestine of the dog, that is, the colon.

As a result, it can cause irregular bowel movements and often diarrhea. Most of the time, this can happen due to a change in your diet. It can also be a sign of possible parasites. If you see that your puppy is pooping more than normal, we suggest that you seek the help of a veterinarian.

What color should my puppy's poop be?
For your puppy's poop to be healthy, the color should be medium to dark brown. If the color falls outside of that range, for example, if your puppy's poop is green, yellow, red, or white, you should immediately speak to a vet.

On the contrary, if you find that he has brown poop with green bits, it is usually a sign of grass. If you find white chunks in your puppy's poop, it could be a sign of a parasite, like a tapeworm. Similarly, if you have read specks in your poop, this could indicate internal bleeding.

In these cases, you should consult a vet about your puppy's poop.

When should my puppy poop?
A puppy will need to go to the bathroom quite often. Most of the time, you will have to go 30 minutes after you have eaten. You should take your puppy to the bathroom first in the morning and before he goes to sleep.

Similarly, you should take your puppy out to poop right after he has played and also when he has woken up.

We suggest you take it out regularly as puppies poop a lot. The sooner you take them out and the more frequently you do it, the sooner they will become familiar with the outside world and the faster they will train.

Several indicators can suggest that your puppy needs to poop. They may whine, walk in circles, sniff a lot, wander, and squat. If you see him doing this at home, we suggest you take him outside immediately.

Final thoughts
Your puppy should poop up to 5 times a day. If you notice that he poops more than that, it could be due to excess fiber in his diet or an underlying disease. Similarly, if you notice that your puppy's poop is not medium brown, that is, yellow or red, we suggest you speak to a vet.

In general, watch your puppy's poop and watch for red flags. But the most important thing is that you take it out frequently after it has woken up, has eaten, and has played so that it becomes familiar with this rhythm.
