Hi all, I am new to this forum. I recently got a chihuahua, she's 6 month old, 4 lbs. The problem is she pees and poops a lot! normally would be 5-6 times a day. One in the morning when she awake, then right after she eats, then twice during the middle of the day whenever we gave her treats, and before or after the dinner, and then before she goes to sleep. Is it normal for a chihuahua poops that many times a day?

I can't imagine pooping that much. I would worry that they aren't absorbing their food at all! It's just passing right on through.

What are you feeding?

Brody poops once a day usually. Sometimes twice. Never more than that. And his poops are very small, like a tootsie roll. He is raw fed though.

Here are the list of food that she eats on daily basis:
royal canin mini indoor puppy 27
greenies dental chews for teenie
Milk-Bone Small Dog Biscuits
sweet potato dog chews ( i forgot the brand name)

She's almost done with the Royal Canin, so i was thinking maybe i should change to other brand, any good suggestion?

I am also looking for some good treats and biscuits that i can order online.
