After <b>48-72 hours without a bowel movement, however, it&#8217;s time to call your vet, writes Dr. Ernest Ward DMV.

As soon as the animal&#8217;s stomach is full, the colon is notified. That means most dogs will poop within that <b>30-minute period after eating.<\/b><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_often_do_dogs_poop_and_pee\"><\/span>How often do dogs poop and pee?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Adult dogs typically need to go out <b>every 6-8 hours at a minimum. Crate-trained dogs and those whose pet parents are frequently gone for longer hours may be able to hold for as much as 10-12 hours. This is, however, fairly uncommon and should not be expected of your dog.<\/b><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_do_you_do_if_your_dog_doesnt_poop_for_3_days\"><\/span>What do you do if your dog doesn&#8217;t poop for 3 days?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If those treatments don&#8217;t work, or if your dog hasn&#8217;t pooped in more than two or three days, it&#8217;s time to go to <b>take your pup to the vet. The vet will check to ensure there isn&#8217;t a more serious underlying issue at play.
