No it is not normal it indicateds the dog is eating way to much food so either 1. you are over feeding the puppy may or manynot be over weight but excessive amount of food can bass through the digestive tract of a puppy much faster with poor absorption leading to loose stools. or two, the quality of food is to low with and too much fiber. Too much fiber will cause loose stools as well. 3. Some food just don't work with individual dogs. There are many on here that swear by wellness. And looking at their dogs it works for them, Each and every time I have tried to feed it I end up with what you are experiencing now. I think a swich of dog food is in order.
Clyde the poop machine
I have a five month old basset named clyde and it seems that all he does all day besides sleep is leave little surprises for me. He poops about ten times a day and it is a good amount each time, I am wondering if this is normal? I live in an upstairs apartment and go to class about five hours a day so i have been trying to pad train him and nothing seems to work he just pays no attention to it. I have had to have the carpets cleaned twice since i have had him because of his constant accidents it is getting very frustrating I love the saggy little fella but its rediculous. when i am here and take him out he will not potty outside but will as soon as we come in and i turn my back. I just had knee surgery too so his trips out are very hard on me especially when he doesent relieve himself. Cleaning his many messes are even harder on crutches aswell. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated...PLEASE HELP
