Under normal circumstances, the number of defecation times for puppies is 2-5 times. The specific number of defecation times is related to the dog's diet. If your dog’s stool is moderately soft and hard, not sticky, and yellowish brown in color, it is generally normal.

If your dog has an increased number of bowel movements and the shape of his stool is abnormal, you should consider digestive system diseases, such as indigestion, gastrointestinal infections, and infectious diseases. It is recommended to consult a pet doctor in time.

Causes of less defecation in dogs: 1. The dog’s anus is injured or diseased. Owners can observe whether the dog’s anal glands are red and swollen. 2.

If you have pica, constipation caused by eating sand, hair, etc., you can feed trace element tablets to improve it. 4. There is also the problem of constipation caused by eating too many bones.

Reasons for frequent defecation in dogs: 1. If the dog eats too much, it will cause frequent defecation, and the stool at this time may also be watery. 2.
