My dog doesn't poop every day. Is his soft doughy poop normal?

Question

My dog doesn’t poop every day, i walk him 3/4 times a day and still no luck. Some days he poops once a day, some only once im two days. His poop isn’t even hard when he does ot formed but more like a soft dough. Is it normal. He doesn’t have any health issues nor parasites. He hates pumpkin, but eats carrots and zucchini every day for additional fiber to his balanced dog food. Please help. Pet's info: Dog | Spitz | Male | unneutered | 1 year and 3 months old | 7 lbs

I don't think you need to worry. It can be normal for a dog to poop every 1-2 days, not necessarily daily. If his stools are formed, that is normal. If they are occasionally a little soft, that can be normal. If they are soft serve texture or softer than that over 50% of the time, I would recommend that you talk to your vet about it. Overall it sounds like Nori is ok! The carrots and zucchini are a fine addition to his balanced dog food, and its ok that he doesn't like pumpkin. I hope that information helps you!
