My dog poop a lot in large volume when I give her a dogfood. I gave her rice and cornedbeef before with minimal amount of poop. Does lot of poop means that her dogfood is loaded with fillers with no nutrition on it? Am I letting her eat garbage?

it could be a lousy dog food you are feeding ??? i was camping on the weekend and a raccoon stole the tupperware of my dogs food and she had to eat my friends dogs food (pedigree - yick) ... normally my dog poops very minimally on her good quality food but on pedigree, i could not believe how much she pooped ... try to get a dog food that has the protein content listed first, no corn, soy, by-products ... and corned beef is not good to feed your dog ... if you want to mix rice with some chicken or REAL meat that would be okay to supplement the kibble ...

I would take him to the vet thats an unhealthy amount of pooping! Also you could try giving him healthier food see if it works or raid the pet stores for a medicine or chew that might help prevent the problem. You should make sure you have a puppy training mat widely available in pet stores just make sure when he poops show him it ( without rubbing his nose it it) and then take him to the mat. Do not punish bad behaviour but when he poops on the mat treat him and he will poop there all the time! worked for me :)

Good lord I hope you aren't giving your dog corned Beef, that's not healthy and trust me there is no such food as corned beef dog food.
If your dog is pooping a lot during the day then yes, her food is full of fillers and that's why she poops more.
Look on your bag, read the ingredients, does it contain Corn, rice? Dog food should always have a named meat as the first and second ingredient and contain no fillers such as corn.
If you want to compare the quality of food you are feeding, go to www.dogfoodanalysis.com and research your food.
Good luck

Either way...you were letting her eat garbage! Never feed a dog corned beef. If you want to feed RAW Here is a good link: http://www.rawlearning.com/
That being said, Look at your dog food. Does it have words like "corn" "Meal" "by-product" If the answer is yes then...you are feeding her garbage. She would probably be better off eating out of a garbage behind mcdonalds! Companies like IAMS and PEDIGREE want you to believe they have good food....
