Why is my puppy pooping more after new food? Is it too much fiber?

Question

My 3.5 month lab puppy is pooping a little more than normal in the last 2-3 weeks since we mixed her food (4 scoops of Arden Grange) along with another one (2 scoops of Grain Zero) that she loves too. Instead of 6 scoops Arden Grange per meal. She eats 3 such meals for breakfast, lunch and dinner, with an evening snack of 1 boiled egg and boiled carrots/sweet potatoes. Is it extra fiber fillers coming out from Grain Zero? Is this normal for her growing age? She poops 2-3 times a day.

Yes it is likely the extra fiber. No worries here whatsoever. Some puppies do poop quite a bit and 2-3 times a day is normal as long as the poop is solid. I would however, but back on the daily egg, since this is mostly just added carbs for pets and can lead to her getting overweight. Best wishes with your puppy Tasha. Take care.
