    I have a 32 lb. mutt (Irish Wolfhound/Husky/Chow mix according to a DNA test) that needs to lose about 3 lbs. I did my homework and we’ve had her on Castor & Pollux Organix Adult (rated 5 stars on here) for a little over a year but switched her to Castor & Pollux Organix Weight management and have been very happy with it. However, she poops *a lot*- about once twice on any decent length walk we take her on, and usually 3 times on an even longer one. So she does number two 3-6 times per day! I’m just surprised because I’m pretty sure higher quality food is supposed to make her poop less! Everything is well formed and small. I was initially impressed with the probiotics and flax seed the food has, but now I’m starting to wonder if those are the culprits to her bathroom habits. She’s never had an accident in the house and usually does #2 towards the ends of her walk, so it’s not like she’s exploding to get outside, so I’m wondering if that’s just how she is? But it seems to excessive. I would love suggestions for a lower calorie, high quality food to look in to- something I could get at PetCo or PetSmart, and not crazy expensive. She’s got a cast iron stomach and is definitely not a picky eater.
