How can one little dog poop so much?
Little Rosie Red is an almost 6 month old Border Collie and she's a tough nut.
She goes in the house immediately after going outside.
Just this morning after a 10-15 minute walk, 3 piles and 2 puddles within an hour.
She has a crate, and if she doesn't go outside, she's put in.
We take her out almost every hour on the hour.
She gets lavish praise when she does the deed.
Usually, too far away to give her a treat reward.
I bet she poops 10 times a day.
That seems like a lot!
We've tried the enzyme cleaners, water and vinegar on the spots but it doesn't help.
She goes right back there.
Yesterday we did a massive cleaning of the areas she goes.
Scrubbing, steaming and re-sealing the wood floor where she goes.
Her poop is normal and not runny.
I've never seen a dog poop as much as this.
We think we're feeding her a quality food.
Initially, we used 4Health Puppy Chow but she had a lot of loose stool.
We switched a while back to Diamond Natural.
Vet Tech says she's not absorbing the food which is why she poops so much.
They recommend Science Diet (which they sell) or Purina.
Neither of those have very good reviews.
I'm open to suggestions.
Doggy diapers?
