I've noticed my dog pooping less and that it turns white: is this normal?Updated a year ago

Yes, this is completely normal. The reason your dog is pooping less is because most of the food your pet is now ingesting is being digested and properly utilized by the body, resulting in less waste. The bone content in your pet's new diet accounts for it turning white. If you notice your dog straining while pooping, that is normal and even healthy. Straining a little bit can help express the anal glands, which would normally be done by your vet, at a price.
