Poops

Question
We feed our bully 2x a day. She is 7mos old. She gets 1 cup of Nature's Variety Kibble and 1/4 C of the wet version each feeding. Well she poops 2x in the am , once around noon and 1-2x at night. Is this normal? It seems like an awful lot of shadoobee! She weighs 34lbs. The vet said she's good but should only get to 40lbs and level out at 38. I thought this seemed light? We also give her some treats a couple milk bones a day. We can't keep up with her poop. Any advice?  

Answer
Get rid of the wet food entirely. It's not necessary. If the poop doesn't lessen, try switching to a different food, like Innova or Eukanuba. Both of these produce less poop and are quality diets. The small milk bones are fine but just a couple a day, not the huge ones.

As far as weight goes, 40-45 lbs. is pretty normal for an adult female.
