I'm worried mine is constipated most of the time, even with fruits and veggies---
but one weblog say dogs poop less. how often should I be expecting my 93 pound rottie to poop?- Re: how often do dogs poop on a raw ... Invincible

This is a reply to # 961,530Can you give details of exactly what you're feeding him? how often etc.
Mine poops twice a day if he eats 2 meals, once on 1 meal and once even on the day when he didn't eat. I think once per good meal would be considered healthy. And he's a 20lb dog. - Re: how often do dogs poop on a raw ... judy g

I feed Bravo blends and chicken necks with green beans at most meals. Most days she poops two to three times, down from three to four in pre-raw days. Also, the poop is smaller in volume and generally harder, more pellet-like, especially after she has eaten bones.
Any constipation might be helped by adding a probiotic (I use Animal Essentials). I also supplement with an herbal vitamin and Bravo Salmon oil.- Re: how often do dogs poop on a raw ... perusing

crap--
he poops like every other day-- maybe.
he eats mainly beef marrow bones-- I try to put it at a little over one pound.
sometimes this is supplemented with gizzards, tripe, and occasionally liver.
he goes through one large Watermelon a week, and gets other stuff-- I'm trying to get him used to carrots with a bit of apple cider vinegar to ferment it a bit.
I also give him organic omega 3-6-9 (or some sort of omega supplement) eggs in the shell, and a dollop of yogurt once a day or every other day (how often can i, should i, feed raw eggs?)
He's only been on this diet for three weeks, as before that we were travelling and it was easier to give him organic dog food, or paul newman's canned dog food. and before that he was at the pound before that for two weeks eating REALLY crappy dog food. like the crappiest of the crappy dog food. and before that... no clue.
he's a three year old rottie, 93 pounds. before when he'd initially get constipated, he'd respond to fruit.
although-- it should be noted that for the first couple of weeks I had him (up through the first week of the raw food diet) he was having (in some cases explosive) diarreah. now he seems to be swinging to the other end of the bm range.
he doesn't seem to be bloated, not much gas now that he gets yogurt occasionally, and his stomach isn't tender (and I've poked and prodded a bunch to see if he was.)
he could just be not getting enough food for a dog his size-- though I feed him once or twice a day. he has the same good energy, hasn't lost weight that I can tell, and though he's protective of his food I take this to mean that a) he's still responding to a couple of fasts I had him on when he had diarreah, and b) I haven't been able to spend enough individual attention with him so he's not quite where I want him to be training wise.
p.s. he's also been tearing into the skin on his backside above his tail due to maybe fleas (but I can never see any on him or myself as I let him sleep in my bed). is there something I can feed him/put on him to help? I've been rubbing in coconut oil...and putting ACV in his water.- Re: how often do dogs poop on a raw ... judy g

Yeah, that doesn't sound like enough, but I am no expert, so maybe someone else will pipe up.he eats mainly beef marrow bones--
Marrow is nutritious but it is largely fat. I would wonder whether he is getting enough protein. More muscle meat might help bulk up his stool.
a dollop of yogurt once a day or every other day
An additional probiotic might help . . . yogurt doesn't deliver as much enzymes as a supplement.
(how often can i, should i, feed raw eggs?)
I don't remember where I got the idea that two a week was good. (I have a 22 pound dog, though.) I must have read it somewhere, but I don't know where . . . plus there are differing opinions on eggs. I think feeding them the whole egg is good, some think only the yolk is good. You've probably run into that argument.He's only been on this diet for three weeks,
Oh, okay . . . this could just be adjustment.
he could just be not getting enough food for a dog his size--
Again, personally, I would think about decreasing marrow some and increasing muscle meat.
