Why is my French bulldog pooping so much after switching dog food?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Dog | French Bulldog | Female | spayed | 24 lbs

Recently rescued a 4 year old female French bulldog who came to us eating Acana dry dog food. Began mixing with Whole Earth dry dog food and is now eating WE 100%, twice daily. She was spayed mid last week. For the last few days, she has pooped 5-6 times daily --solid, not runny. ???

This is likely due to a higher fiber content in the newer food. Defecating this much will not cause any problems but if you would like to reduce the frequency at which Daphne is going to the bathroom, I would recommend switching to a different food such as Science Diet and see if this helps. Please let me know if you have any further questions or concerns and I would be more than happy to help you further.
