My 4-month-old puppy's bowel movements are less frequent. Is this normal?

Question

Thor is almost 17 weeks, he usually has 4-5 bm’s a day however today he’s only went once. It was this morning and it was a good amount but I’m wondering if it’s okay that he’s only been once? Thanks! Pet's info: Dog | Rottweiler | Male | unneutered | 3 months and 25 days old | 15 lbs

No worries. As he gets closer to 6 months of age, he will naturally have less bowel movements. As long as you are not seeing him straining to poop or any loose stool, he is likely fine. : ) Thanks for visiting Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach and take care of that fur baby Thor moving forward.
