My pug is having very frequent bowel movements. She's pooping about 8-10 times a day. She's been on new food for about a month now and it's a very high quality dog food, grain and gluten free.

If it's normal feces, I wouldn't be concerned, may just be the food change. If it is loose, or an odd color, shes lising weight, excessively hungry, etc, i would definitely get her checked. Good luck.
