Why is my dog pooping so much? Is it their food or overfeeding?

Question

Hi, I have two dogs, An Afghan Coochie (2 years old) and a Pakistani Bully Kutta (14 months old) i feed them twice a day and walk them twice a day so they can potty and run around, they have the run of the garden at night and every morning i wake to find plenty of dog poo all over the garden. Could i be feeding them too much? is it ok to feed them in the morning only? (my bully still needs to fill out i think). Pet's info: Dog | Mastiff | Male | unneutered | 1 year and 4 months old

Producing what seems like a lot of stool is not likely due to eating too much. A dogfood that is high in fiber or filler will generally cause more stool production. There is a brand called Royal Canin that is really high quality and low residue and most dogs will have a decrease in stool production. I recommend to try this diet. Do continue feeding twice a day as it’s better for the metabolism and decreased the potential for bloat. I hope this is helpful and please feel free to post any additional questions.
