🐾 Let’s Talk About Dog P**p: Why Going Once a Day Might Not Cut It — Especially if Your Dog Has Health Issues!
You’ve probably heard someone say: “My dog’s perfect — they only p**p once a day!”
❓But did you know that p**ping only once a day can actually be a red flag if your dog has:
🔹 Allergies (ear infections, itching, paw chewing, eye goop, a**l gland issues)
🔹 Behavioral problems (anxiety, reactivity)
🔹 Chronic disease
Here’s why 👇
🔎 The Liver, Bile, and P**p — The Detox Triangle
• Your dog’s liver filters toxins, used hormones (like estrogens), and metabolic waste, then dumps them into bile.
• Bile carries these wastes into the gut, binding them up so they can leave the body in p**p.
• If your dog isn’t p**ping enough, these toxins sit in the gut longer, increasing the chance they’ll get reabsorbed into the bloodstream (enterohepatic recirculation) — creating a vicious cycle of terrain stress, inflammation, and chronic symptoms.
🚫 Why Wolves Aren’t the Best Model for Modern Dogs
Yes, wolves are amazing hunters — but they’re not:
• Drinking from plastic bowls or toilets.
• Sleeping next to WiFi routers or power strips.
• Walking on chemically treated lawns or inhaling city smog.
• Eating muscle/bone/organ grinds alone; they’re consuming whole prey, which includes fur, feathers, predigested plant matter, and gut contents — all natural sources of fiber modern raw diets often lack.
📌 But Don’t Wolves P**p Less?
Nope! Wild canids eating whole prey and roaming miles p**p multiple times a day because:
• Fur and plant fibers from prey add bulk.
• Constant movement supports lymph flow, bile movement, and gut motility.
• They’re not living in an environment overloaded with modern toxins that need to be cleared daily.
💩 Why More Frequent P**ps Matter for Dogs with Issues
If your dog has “allergies” (really leaky gut and immune dysregulation), yeast, chronic inflammation, or behavioral challenges, once-a-day p**ping is not enough.
Toxins staying in the gut longer → more reabsorption → more inflammation → more symptoms.
🌿 What to Do About It
• Add gentle fiber to the diet: steamed veggie purées, chia or flax gel, or even fur-on rabbit ears for dogs who tolerate whole prey elements.
• Support bile flow (e.g., sunflower lecithin, moderate bitters) — but only if bowels are moving.
• Encourage hydration, movement, and daily activity.
• Heal the gut and support lymph — a stagnant gut = stagnant terrain.
• And please, don’t say “my dog can’t eat carbs” — if your dog reacts to carbs, it’s a terrain problem, not a carb problem. Work on bile, lymph, and gut repair first. Fix those, and most “carb intolerances” resolve, along with yeast and dysbiosis.
🔗 Bottom line:
Your dog’s p**p isn’t just waste — it’s their primary detox route. Going at least twice a day can be key to clearing bile-bound toxins, balancing terrain, and helping resolve chronic skin, gut, and behavior issues.
Feed fresh, but feed wisely — for your dog’s environment, not just a wolf fantasy.
