It is normal for a dog to poop one time a day at least. Many dogs poop two to three times a day. You can easily tell if your dog is constipated if the dog does not poop for one or two days and also shows signs of low or no appetite, vomits, or is slow and not interested in playing.

Tips to help or prevent constipation for your dog:

1. It is important to feed your pet a wide variety of healthy dog food with sufficient fiber and mix in some raw meat (not pork) and vegetables

2. Exercise your dog daily to help with constipation

3. Encourage your dog to drink a good amount of fresh, cool water

4. Keep your dog properly groomed to prevent fur from entangling in the bowel

5. Add some bran to the dog food and a teaspoon of psyllium to soften

6. Take your dog to the vet if the constipation does not improve in a few days.
