Most dogs will poop 1-3 times a day. This lack of pooping may indicate that Renegade is not getting enough fiber in her diet. The diet I recommend is Royal Canin. Most pets on this diet have good stool quality and the bowels move easily. Here is a link about constipation: Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.co/article/constipation-in-dogs-101-what-you-need-to-know/ I hope this helps and please feel free to post any additional questions.
