Pup poops only once ortwice per day(fed 4 times) and with no regular timing. Sometimes right after eating and sometimes after 8-10 hours. what to do? Pet's info: Dog | Labrador Retriever | Male | unneutered | 3 months and 1 day old

This is completely normal! Defecating 1-2 times daily is very normal, and while some dogs get a "rhythm" and tend to go at the same time every day, it's also completely normal for some dogs to be more variable. There is nothing you can do to regulate this, although Max is still young and it's possible he'll become more "regular" as he gets older. If you'd like to add more fiber to his diet, you could give him a little pumpkin or squash with his food, but this is completely optional. Hope this helps.
