Is it normal for the dog to have anywhere from 3-5 bowel movements a day?
Full Question:
I have been purchasing the honest dog food, "Embark." My last order was 10lbs. My 5 mos. old puppy loves it but I have a concern which brings me to a question I hope you can help me with. Is it normal for the dog to have anywhere from 3-5 bowel movements a day? These are not small, but very healthy so I wonder if she is getting the nutrition from the food before she passes it. She has no gas or anything, just what I have mentioned. Sometimes I do add ground turkey as you mentioned previously. I also give her added bananas and cottage cheese but not all the time.Thanks for your help,
Karen
Cindy's Answer:
You might try re-hydrating the food for longer periods of time. For example, add water and let the food soak overnight for the morning feeding. I soak a bowl full of Honest Kitchen in the morning for the evening feedings here at Leerburg. Sometimes this helps the dogs digest a bit more of the food. I would not add more veggies or fruit, but meat protein whenever possible.
