Many people think that puppies must always be walked on a leash when outside. This is not true, but it’s good practice to make sure your dog has plenty of exercise every day. A dog’s digestive system needs lots of activity to function properly so give him some time outdoors each day. To keep things in balance, puppies should be fed small meals throughout the day. The amount depends on their size, but a healthy puppy should eat at least three meals per day. If you want to feed more frequently, don’t hesitate to ask your veterinarian for advice. He or she can help you determine if your puppy is eating enough. If your puppy eats well and gets regular exercise, he or she should poop around once a day. However, there are exceptions. Some breeds, such as Pekingese and Chihuahuas, need to go more than once per day. And some breeds, like Yorkshire Terriers, may have a harder time holding their stool until they get home from the park or the vet.
