    They poop a lot. Maverick, at almost 18 months, has 4-5 GIGANTIC poops per day.

    That surprises me a bit, as Bruce goes twice a day and piles are pretty small. Even smaller when I'm on the Petkind food. He gets 3 cups of dry food, a big plop of greek yogurt, and 4 oz of raw salmon. I know every dog is different, but while Sophie gets less food by overall, she has 2 per day, and pretty small too.

    Maverick has always been a pooper. We used to call them Godzilla poops. We usually have to use 2 bags to clean up after him. He eats just under 3 cups per day. Fromm grain free is one of the brands in his rotation. Mia, who ate the same amount, had two small poops per day. Again, some dogs just poop a lot.

    too bad the poops can't be put to good use and used as gas for cars!!!!! LOL!

    I've been feeding him less, and the soft poo towards the end is now gone! yay! He now gets 1.3 cups day and night and 1 cup for lunch..seems to be much better. I was giving him way too much!
    I also give him some raw veggies here and there...like cut up carrots, asparagus ends, etc. and also organic raw chicken necks and some raw steak when my hubbs makes steak.

    now onto the next thing! =)
    thanks all!

    I want you to know I was in no way criticizing you or Maverick. When I re-read my post I thought I may have sounded a bit harsh.

    I'm just glad mine don't poop that much!!!!! LOL!! Sometimes I think our cat has bigger poo's than the dogs have.

    I am often out in the yard with a pooper scooper, Hemi up on the deck, I am saying out loud at the top of my voice.

    You know your so smart you should be figuring out a way to make us rich from all this poop. Someone keeps pooping in my yard and I don't think it is Pauline (our Neighbor)

    As a chemist and engineer, I should make it my life goal to figure out a way to make us all rich off all that labby poo we all get to scoop.
