I have a 1 year 2 months old dog. He normally poops everyday AM and every PM. Around 630 am and 430 pm. Recently this week he’s been waking up everyday around 12am-1am barking and slamming the gate to go out. We take him out he’ll pee never poop and then we come inside and within another 20-30 mins he’s at it again. We take him out he poops. Then finally he’s back to bed til about 630 am.
His poops during the day have been smaller then usual and more nugget type. But the ones in the middle of the night are a lot bigger and more structured rather then nuggets.
He eats dinner around 5-530 PM. He also still has the puppy habit of wanting to eat his poop… Literally have to stand there and grab it immediately as it comes down otherwise he’s already turned to get it. Is he lacking something in his diet?? Our trainer recommended adding some steamed green beans to his food to help with regulating the poop. And it does help but sometimes when we run out we aren’t able to get to the store right away with work which has how it’s been this week so i’m wondering if that’s why his poop is off because he hasn’t had the green beans. But i don’t know that he’s supposed to have these everyday for the rest of his life so i don’t know if he needs a new food or what… We are exhausted especially having to wake up for work so early. It’s been hard for me to fall asleep and stay asleep because i know that he’s going to wake up at some point and i’m just anxiously waiting for it to
