So, my question is this: At a certain age, do they start to poop less? I know human babies poop a LOT then it decreases in frequency. Does this happen in general to dogs as well? (Please say YES! LOL)

It's a little more complicated than just age. It depends on how many times a day you feed, what kind of food you feed (better food means better digestion/less waste), general body metabolism and daily exercise level.
In general, yes, they go less with age because they're no longer being fed 3 or 4 times a day.

Would you like to come and scoop for my four for a few days? It would make you appreciate just the one.

Toony is right. Better food, smaller, fewer poops. I'm scooping deer pellets these days (well, almost).

Ok, first I'd like to thankfully decline your offer. LOL

Second, I guess I should move to the dog food forum, but that area confuses me! Can you tell me what you feed that will result in deer pellets?

Luna's poo is pretty normal I guess. Not runny or anything, it just seems like she goes fairly often. Of course, it could be all in my mind since I hurt my back and I'm still grieving the loss of my dad so I only scoop every 3-5 days. When I can do it every day or every other, it may not be so bad.

I'm sorry about the loss of your dad...

I feed raw. And it's not actually deer pellets, but it's about 1/2 the size and 1/2 the frequency that it was with a good dog food.
