TOTW question (tmi kinda)

RachieK10

Hello! If you don't recognize me I'm sorry - I consider myself a lurker who occasionally comes out with a random question and has to always reintroduce myself. Whoops.

We just switched our dog Bruce (2 y/o pit mix) from Natural Balance grain-free (Alpha dog) to TOTW. I think we got him the venison one but I'm not even sure. He loves the food and it's a lot more affordable, so yay! Anyway he used to be kind of a poop machine and go within a few minutes of going outside, in the morning and after we get home from work. Now it takes him FOREVER and it's rather small, at least comparatively. Can I chalk this up to the fact that he's on a better food, or should I be concerned? Do you think it's possible he only needs to go once per day now?

The same thing happened when we put my pup on TOTW.  I love it - Her poops are like clock-work now!  She does one in the morning and one at night, she's still eating 3 meals a day for now.

No, it sounds fine.  His body is likely utilizing what's in the food better, which is a good thing.  As long as everything's still normal when it comes out, no need for concern.

Agreed.

We switched Dex last week and he has actually almost been the opposite!  It is def firmer, but he is like a pooping machine now!  No complaints because it has been real solid, but it went from like 2 to 5 times a day!
