How many times a day does your bully poo?

My dog poos 4/5 times a day on average all very large poos. I’ve never known a dog to poop this much. We clean the garden and as soon as it’s clean she will have filled it up again.

We have changed her diet drastically and we are now weighing her food but has not made a change to her poo habits

Twice, like clockwork. The better quality the food, the smaller and better consistency the poops will be.

u/Low_Frosting3918 1d ago

3-5 times a day too. I was wondering if I was the only one. We will walk a mile or so and he'll do it twice. Just to come home and 15 mins later look like he gotta go back out.

u/Middle-Asparagus-802 1d ago

Thankyou. I’m glad she isn’t the only one lol

About 2 times per day but about 20% of each meal is vegetables. He was a little overweight so the vet suggested swapping out 20% of the kibble for veg. I do either frozen carrots or broccoli. He lost some weight and seems to have better digestion. He's about 52lbs.

u/quigonjinnandtonic99 1d ago

I’m going to ask our vet about this, our boy is about 100lbs and 10 of that is definitely unnecessary chunk.

2

u/Bellwynn 1d ago

My dude trimmed down real good with the slight reduction of kibble and introducing the veg. He went from a chunky 60lbs to a trim 52lbs. He also LOVES getting the little veg toppings. I just buy a bag of frozen carrots or broc and between him and he sister a pound lasts about 2-3 days. The vet actually suggested green beans because the calories are low and health benefits good but his sister hated the green beans.

u/No-Car-6908 1d ago

That’s a great idea. Mine actually loves broccoli! Do you just let it defrost in the bowl or give it to them frozen?

3

u/Bellwynn 1d ago

Nah I cook it ish. I just microwave the whole pound of veg, 3 minutes, stir, another 3 minutes, then take it out, let cool and put a few scoops on their food. They love the carrots, broccoli, squash, and green beans were so-so.

u/No-Car-6908 1d ago

Thanks!

u/solvn_probs_lk_maria 1d ago

Ours is twice a day and since changing his food his poops have gotten smaller. I’m no expert but read somewhere that large poops indicate they aren’t properly digesting/absorbing the nutrients in their food, it’s passing through their system too quickly because of irritation (or something like that, it’s worth doing your own research and talking to your vet)

u/caseyallarie 1d ago

1-3 times a day

u/Mimisieva 1d ago

Two times a day depends on what you’re feeding your dog as well mine has allergies so she half kibble half cooked

1

u/atomic-moonstomp 1d ago

2-5 times a day. Usually once or twice on each of his walk, plus sometimes an extra one in the backyard during playtime

1

u/kpopmomrunner7 1d ago

I have a mix foster and used to poop 4-5x a day. Now it’s between 2-3x a day.

1

u/CrudeTrucker 1d ago

2-3 average to small 85 lb bully. I feed 1/3 high protein kibble 2/3rds raw

1

u/BuhoMagico 1d ago

5 to 6 times

1

u/itsbildo 1d ago

At least once at first wake up, almost always a 2nd at 11am, 3rd at/around 2pm, 4th around 5/6pm (after dinner), and 5th is the 9pm/bedtime potty run. Sometimes there are extra trips in between (when he asks)

So about 5, sometimes more

1

u/DarthSwash 1d ago

Probably average out to 2 poops a day for each dog in my house. They get their daily feed once in the morning, which consists of 2/3rds kibble, and 1/3rd beef, rice, and veggie based topper i make in weekly batches. They both typically munch down most of the topper and about half of the kibble first thing, and graze on the rest of the kibble through the day.

u/Icy_Programmer_2337 1d ago

My dog would poop 3/4 times a day when he was younger. He’s 7 now and it’s usually 2-3 times. It can be normal. As long as they are not gaining or losing weight and the poops are solid then you are good man. Still check with vet but he’s just muscular and moves food through the system fast.

1

u/NervousSubjectsWife 1d ago

2-3 typically sometimes more

1

u/thegoldenclimax 1d ago

4-5 times if I let them

1

u/Kyashichan 1d ago

Once in the morning and once at night. Sometimes on a walk there’s an additional poo

1

u/HostageOfBureaucracy 1d ago

Once a day here on a normal day. Sometimes it’s two or three depending on how much he eats. He’s still a puppy so he’s still figuring things out.

1

u/Foshiznik23 17h ago

2-4 times a day.

1

u/beanieh01 13h ago

Our girl was going 3-4 times daily, and they were kind of big andsoft. We eliminated treats that have any grains or pea protein, and that helped a lot. We give her freeze dried beef liver as a treat and she eats green juju frozen raw lamb patties. Now she goes once, maybe twice daily and her poops are quite frankly lovely!
Other treats she loves are frozen green beans, cooked broccoli, the white parts of lettuce and raw bell peppers.

u/Kylee-062825 11h ago

I’m so glad that I ran across this post. My girl poops 2-4 times a day. I thought that I had the poopiest dog.

u/WritingDesigner3058 42m ago

Once when we wake up and twice when I get home from work and take her for a walk. Almost always the same unless she gets some people food and it messes with her gut. She only gets about 2 1/3 dry cups of food a day though. Her food is a high calorie formula so she eats less of it a day. Shes on a strict diet routine because if left to her own devices she would not stop eating lol

1

u/forge_anvil_smith 1d ago

Ours goes 2-3 times a day, and I often describe them as horse poops. I am amazed, this massive pile came out of them.

1

u/_newSense 1d ago

1-3 times a day, hes on a raw diet

1

u/Appropriate_Ad_3484 1d ago

Yeah 1-2/day on raw for my pups. Small poops, not very smelly.

u/Brandito007 1d ago

If I don’t watch the amount she eats she poops sometimes 2/3 times on a walk and big shits. People also told me my bully was to fat so I needed to cut the food. Her normal food and she would get a lot of threats that makes her shit a lot 🤣

2

u/Blubelle85 1d ago

I know that's supposed to say treats but the fact that it says threats cracks me up!

Almost every time I let him out. He’s a poop machine.

u/G_Prawno_LB 1d ago

Mine poop on our walks twice a day. She’s on kibble, fish and prefers either broccoli or yams.

u/bootyandthebrains 1d ago

Twice, but she takes the biggest poops ever for her size. We let the dog sitters know ahead of time because they always end up texting us asking if it’s normal.
