Well, from everything everyone has written, apparantly exercise stimulates poop production, and if you don't stop to let the dogs poop, then they will just do it while walking. Answer to one of the responses: I have 2 dogs, a 2.5 year old coton du tulear, and a 9 month old shih tzu, both spayed...

ok. obviously you all do not understand what I am saying. the dogs eliminate prior to their walk; after their walk (after eating) and my question was why do they have to go WHILE walking as well? and, no, I am not trying to ever stop them from having normal movements. My bad for thinking you...

we are NOT in doggie boot camp while on our walks; in fact it is quite the opposite! they see their doggie friends and bark at squirrels, etc. I just let them know that this is their exercise time, and play/bathroom time is at another time of the day. I merely asked if anyone knew if elimination...

I don't know if anyone can help with this problem, but I would appreciate any advice! I usually take my dogs on walks every day; either mid morning or late afternoon. Always, while walking, they decide they have to poop, and do it while walking! They don't stop to sniff, or lag behind or...

Actually, I started her on Innova as a puppy, and she did not like it at all; refused to eat it! That is why I switched to Evo. Currently she eats the Wellness Simple Solutions which is 1 protein (venison) and 1 carb (brown rice) and some fat (flaxseed oil, etc.) What board is it that the Coton...

she is 2 1/2 years old, and has no other symptoms

I'm wondering what may be causing my coton de tulear's bald patches near her hind legs (both) and on part of her stomach. It looks like she has been shaved, but she hasn't! Originally, she was on the Evo small bites, then she started the Evo 95% red meat, and that is when I noticed the baldness...

I have never seen this happen before; my 2 1/2 year old spayed female dog has just recently started humping on my 7 month old (recently spayed) female puppy! I have had both dogs living in my house for 5 months now, and this had never happened before. Does anyone know the reasoning behind it...

yes, I told the vet everything that she has eaten (that I know about) in the last few days

My 2 1/2 year old coton started throwing up yesterday. At first it was kind or yellow and slimey; then after her dinner later in the night it was gross and chunky (obviously her dinner). Today it was slimey and brown. She hadn't eaten anything, which was surprising since she goes crazy over her...

thanks for the replies; I will definitely try removing the pads from her crate (I said they were potty pads, but they are not the scented "wee wee pads", they are just the plain underpads you buy at the pharmacy to put on beds and such), but I'm not sure about the getting up in the middle of the...

I have had my imperial shih tzu now for about a week, and was so impressed that when we first got her, she would always potty either outside, (I take her out regularly) or on the potty pad. There had been no accidents at all! Now, all of a sudden she has just taken to squatting anywhere she is...

Is it OK to mix canned and dry dog food together for a meal? I usually feed my 12 lb. coton de tulear 1/3 of the small size can of EVO RM with 1/3 cup of the dry EVO small bites for breakfast, and she just goes berserk for that canned food. In the evening I give her about 1/4 cup of the EVO...

My puppy is now 6 months old, and is still not housebroken! As a small puppy (2 months) she was doing great; using pads if she couldn't hold it, and going outside every time we took her (which was very often). Now she has regressed to the point where she is having a poop and a pee accident in...

I am thinking of switching my 5 month old coton puppy from Innova puppy food, to the Innova Evo. At what age should I do this? Since it is the same brand food, do you have to switch slowly (over a few days or more?) or just switch cold turkey? Her stools on the Innova puppy food are usually...

my 5 month old puppy chewed and possibly ingested a citronella candle the other day. for 2 1/2 days now, she has had terrible diarrhea, even though she does not seem to act sick. she is still playful and happy, just bad bathroom issues. how long does it take for the citronella to pass through...

my 5 month old puppy found and chewed (possibly ingested) a small citronella candle. I called poison control,and they said it would pass in her stool. for 2 1/2 days now since she ate that, she has had horrible diarrhea. other than that, she acts totally normal. I called the vet, who took a...
