strange question - how many times a day does your dog go #2?

I was just wondering! I have two small dogs (6 and 9 lbs) and it ranges from 2-4 times a day

Re: strange question - how many times a day does your dog go #2?

anywhere from 4-6

However, he is now on meds for his intenstines so he has been avereging about 3-4 a day

Re: strange question - how many times a day does your dog go #2?

Usually 3 times a day is average but he will go anywhere between 2-5 times a day but he's still young...just under 8 months.

Re: strange question - how many times a day does your dog go #2?

She's like clockwork - twice a day.

She goes as soon as she wakes up (weekdays 7:30 - weekends 9:30) and the other time at 3:30 pm.

Re: strange question - how many times a day does your dog go #2?

At least 2x a day, most of the time he poops on each of his walks though so that's 3x a day. I don't think he really needs the last one but he's out there so he tries.

When we had him on crummier food, he was going 4x a day and his poops were bad. It's much better now.

2-3

Re: strange question - how many times a day does your dog go #2?

I "make" her (tell her to) go potty when I let her out in the AM and before we go to bed. She may go another time during the day when she's home with DH or at camp.

Re: strange question - how many times a day does your dog go #2?

Depends on the dog. My male dog will go 3 times a day IF walked. If walked only 2 times a day, then 2 times. My female may only go once a day, that's normal for her.

Re: strange question - how many times a day does your dog go #2?

Daisy goes twice. Once in the AM when we wake up and once when we come home. Sometimes on the weekend, she'll go three times if there is a lot of activity.

1 or 2. definitely in the morning and sometimes in the late afternoon.

Re: strange question - how many times a day does your dog go #2?

twice, once each time on our walks. if we let him outside he may go also, but not always. he pretty much knows that the walk is his time to do his business...

Re: strange question - how many times a day does your dog go #2?

2-3

Re: strange question - how many times a day does your dog go #2?

Maggie goes once at 7:00 am and once at 5:30 pm.

Teemu - 2
Olli - like 6. The problem with Olli is he has the attention span of a gnat, so he rarely finishes his business all at once. He will start, then mid-poo see a leaf blowing in the breeze or a bird or a stick, and then won't poo for the rest of the walk/time outside. Then 10 minutes later, he will be begging to go out to poo. Above is repeated. Then 30 min later he will go out and push out a 'nugget'. So really it should be 2-3 if he could just learn to consolidate!

Re: strange question - how many times a day does your dog go #2?

Typically 2 (once at breakfast time and once at dinner time), but if we go for a walk (more than around the yard) at a time other than those times sometimes she will go then too. (usually if we take walks we go right after she eats dinner so she does her dinner business on her walk )

Re: strange question - how many times a day does your dog go #2?

Really? My dog goes only once a day.

Re: strange question - how many times a day does your dog go #2?

mine too, 2-3 unless he's having an issue then it can be more frequent and "off schedule"

Re: strange question - how many times a day does your dog go #2?

My shih tzu's go once a day and our Lab twice.

Re: strange question - how many times a day does your dog go #2?

thanks so much! i was worried bc sometimes since it's cold i have only been walking them twice a day and i feel badly like maybe they have to go more so, ocne the guilt sets in, i always end up walking them again at like midnight!

but i might stick to 2x a day since it's freezing out!

thanks!

Re: strange question - how many times a day does your dog go #2?
