Dog Poo: What can our dog's poo/stools tell us about their health? | Dog Nutrition Lessons | Ep 19.

[@the_p.p.e.]

Apart from the fact it’s absolutely disgusting not to, this another reason I don’t understand people who don’t pick up their dogs poop. You can tell so much about their health.

Great video, and I followed your links to find more incredibly useful information. THANK YOU!!!!

My dog is 11 months. I've recently put onto a raw food diet. I changed him onto raw because his poo was lumpy and crumbly. His poo has changed but it's still really hard. He does struggle occasionally to poo. Could this be caused by dehydration. He really doesn't drink much at all. I was hoping the raw diet would help because it's wet as well as better than dry food. Is there anything I can give him to encourage him to drink more? He seems to be happy and healthy otherwise

[@annettestark1672]

Thank you so much for all your knowledge and help.

[@veronasomarriba5548]

1-2 could also be due to dehydration

[@dorothybutterfield8428]

Oh my goodness Cam that was so informative thank you so much for that information.

[@thedognutritionist]

Glad it was helpful!

from Oz here, my dog is 16 months old and eats anything he finds even though he has a great diet. He is a forager. Rescue from a camp. Sometimes gets diarrhea so I have bought a pet probiotic powder from a vet chemist site. Seems to work most of the time. He even ate a massive mushroom once on a walk, didnt have time to check what sort of mushroom as it went to one gulp!!!

So my dog has rock hard poo and it does turn white but it's very hard. You said she is getting too much calcium. I don't put calcium in her food what are some of the other reason this could be happening. She isn't moving around as much as she use too but she isn't curled up like she is in pain either. Something is going on I need to find out what so I can fix her somehow.

Hi my name is khamz and I have a 6 month old pitbull puppy that may have parvo any ideas what I could do to help him

[@thedognutritionist]

Hello there! For more guidance, email me at [e-mail]

[@candaceclark4062]

My dog gets a mix of kibble and raw. I give him all the blood I can collect from meat and organ meats, plus homemade bone broth. Could this give him dark or blackish poo?

[@OldSnufkin]

Yes, so too with feeding things like dark liver. So long as your dog's stool is in that healthy consistency range you should be absolutely fine ☺️

[@goodjuju54]

My dog is fed raw his farts and poops smell rancid, his poop is dark green soft tarry. I have tried different proteins, turkey, chicken, beef, goat, lamb, pork. No difference with protein changes. What could it be?

[@user-SMg]

My dog has dark pops but he’s on meds! (Had fresh cooked food) so I thought that was why!

[@donnamyers6155]

Cam I appreciate all your effort in producing these videos. I have watched them all. You are exceptionally knowledgeable in canine nutrition. I have four dachshunds - one just turned 7 & the other three are 6 years of age. I am going to transition them from kibble & moist food to fresh & cooked food. A year ago I eliminated store bought dog treats & make my own which they love. My hopes are that the our one female that has extreme yeast problems & is on Apoquel daily will help alleviate this problem & restore her natural gut bacteria. I have two females that react to eggs badly which makes it difficult. Thank you for providing the guidance on canine nutrition.

[@thedognutritionist]

Thank you for watching and following! I appreciate your support so much

[@walkwithpapier]

How if the poo solid but its like wrapped by quite thick transparant jelly like? Sometimes my dog poo is like that

[@thedognutritionist]

Mucus in stools isn't so bad, but if they were really soft then it's not good.

[@walkwithpapier]

@@thedognutritionist thanks! It's not too soft. The mucus is quite thick but the poo is like a normal texture and color. I just curious why there is a mucus.

[@iamthemusic69]

Why are you talking about dog poo with such passion in your kitchen!?

[@thedognutritionist]

😂😂😂

[@Strawwwberriecoww]

What about it comes out long and soft but sometimes it’s super soft and mushy when I pick it up and sometimes firmer and easy to pick up

[@thedognutritionist]

Hey! Have you given any new protein sources recently? Changes in diet, especially new proteins, can often affect consistency.

[@lailadavids]

My dog is pooping a healthy poop and then after he is pooping dripping oily substance . It’s orange yellow in color. The only fat I feed him is in his meat ground beef 7% fat. He’s behavior is normal,happy ,energetic but this stool is a bother

[@bingowings113]

The oil being excreted is from his anal glands, completely normal. Time to worry is when you don't see it!!!!

[@chrislockhart3585]

Is it normal for my dog to have a little diarrhea after switching food?

[@thedognutritionist]

Yes, and it will definitely set after few days or weeks.

[@user-SMg]

Silly Q but what are ‘fibre’ foods?

[@thedognutritionist]

Mostly fruits, vegetables, and whole grains!

[@marial.30]

Sometimes my dogs poo look like it's wrapped in thick mucus membrane. I have no idea why and have looked it up but unsure still. Do you know why this is?

[@user-SMg]

I think that means food intolerance

[@chrissyplanteater2892]

My 11 month old border terrier has had 3 episodes of bloody poo but before the episodes his poo was a 5 the vet has now sold me some prescription probiotics kibble what should I do now , I have been giving him chicken bone broth and rice and chicken for a few days and he seems better but still loose without blood x

[@vanessamcgrew4486]

Perhaps, try introducing foods that naturally have probiotics, like plain Greek yogurt, goat milk with enzymes and probiotics, zestypaws 8 in 1 or probiotic chew Personally, I would start there, in hopes that the natural probiotic supplements would be enough to pair with a homemade dogfood diet in the future, taking the place of the Probiotic Kibble brand you are using

[@chrissyplanteater2892]

@@vanessamcgrew4486 thanks for the reply 😘

[@Youngone78]

You didn’t really go over bright orange poops. My dog has been having them for 2 days, plus major stomach noises, and now today very bright orange, filled with mucous, and totally un digested chicken pieces 😮 this is new. She’s only been on chicken and rice for 24-36 hours. What could be happening please?

[@-zerocool-]

Try a different food, if still the same, get a blood test from your Vet.

[@paigeg8731]

What was the outcome mine is the same now

[@brothernorb8586]

Isn't kibble orange

[@jonlacey]

Our pug has had this and it led to an inflamed bowel which we are still treating at the moment - vets recommend hypoallergenic foods but I am going to go with some of the advice on diets being given here first - my advise would be diet changes but i am not a vet - we went the chicken and rice route and it did not work for us

[@Just_Lurking8]

A lot of animals are allergic to chicken,also rice can be hard for their digestive system… Depends how much rice you’re giving too.

[@sherylhelms6490]

Thank you for this series. I feel more confident. I was one of those who felt compelled to make a "complete" diet because that's what we're told to do. I have been making raw/homemade foods for a few months, and I always feel like I'm not "doing it right." My confidence is growing, thanks!

[@thedognutritionist]

Unreal news! Keep up the good work
