Dog pooping twice in a row

[KellyB]

Hi. I'm new to this board, and I'm so glad I found it because I have a question about my little Chi mix doggie.

She has been pooping twice in the mornings, less than 5 minutes apart. The first time the poop is hard usually and then the second time it is much softer, but not loose stool. Usually I take her out and she goes and then goes again by the time I've cleaned the first one up . . . I'm confused by this because she didn't always do it.

Is this normal? Could something be wrong? She was just to the vet and checked for worms, etc and she eats fine.

It's probably normal. Mine do it too sometimes. The better dog food your dog eats, the fewer poops your dog will have.
