Is that normal? As far as I can tell, unless Oliver is realllll sneaky, he hasn't pooped since he was fed last night around 6, 6:15pm. So far he's had two meals of about 1/2 a lb raw chicken quarters. Supposedly when switching from kibble dogs can be a little constipated? He doesn't appear to be in pain, has had plenty of opportunities to go... Definitely hasn't done it in the house (been checking regularly), pees plenty. Not sure what to do?
On Raw Food Diet, hasn't pooped much?

I switched my dogs over to raw earlier this year, and they've done great on it. My neighbor even asked me what I was doing with them because their coats were so glossy and soft.
They do poop less. I don't know if, overall, the frequency declines, but there is definitely less poop when they do go. It's whiter, and it decomposes unlike "kibble poop" which seems to fossilize in the yard and then come back to life when it rains (which isn't often where I live).
I have also read that it is beneficial for keeping their anal glands from becoming impacted, but I can't speak to this personally as my dogs have never had an issue with it.
All this said, my dogs still love to eat fruits and veggies - always have. I know they're carnivores, but mine love them some fresh garden produce. I had to put cattle panel up around my garden so that there would be some left for me!!
