Health & WellbeingWe switched the dog food for our 2 dogs to Purina healthy weight. We noticed that when we take them outside right after they eat, they poop immediately, within 2 minutes tops. Stools look totally normal - no diarrhea. Is this good/normal/healthy for
Hi there, It sounds like the new food may be a little rich for your dogs. Urgency to defecate typically indicates some GI distress, so I would consider trying a different diet. For healthy weight I prefer the Royal Canin diets. They are typically very low calorie but easily to digest. Natural Balance also has some good healthy weight options. Best wishes and thanks for using Pet Coach!
