What is your dog poo telling you?

From colour to consistency, your dog’s stool is one of the easiest ways to spot early signs of issues (or confirm everything’s going great!).

Let’s break it down 👇

Chocolate Brown (Normal)

This is what you want to see!
👉 Indicates healthy digestion and a balanced diet.

White Spots (Rice-like)

👉 May be a sign of tapeworms
If you notice this, it’s best to consult your vet.

Green

👉 Could mean:

• Eating too much grass
• Possible gallbladder issue

Black & Tarry

👉 May indicate internal bleeding (upper GI tract)
🚨 This requires immediate vet attention

Red Streaks

👉 Fresh blood in stool

• Could be minor (cuts/irritation)
• Or something more serious if persistent

Orange / Yellow

👉 May point to liver or bile duct issues

Grey & Greasy

👉 Possible pancreas or fat digestion issue

Dry, Hard Nuggets

👉 Likely dehydration
✔️ Increase water intake
✔️ Consider adding moisture-rich foods

Firm, Mostly Odorless (Best!)

👉 Ideal poop
✔️ Easy to pick up
✔️ Healthy digestion

Solid, Moist

👉 Still healthy
✔️ Slightly softer but normal

Soggy, Loose Stools

👉 Mild digestive upset
✔️ Could be from treats, stress, or minor diet changes

Soft Serve

👉 Gut imbalance
✔️ Often linked to food sensitivity or overfeeding

Diarrhea

👉 Very watery, no shape
Common causes:

💚 Loopa Tip:
The goal? Firm, easy-to-pick-up poop.
It’s one of the clearest signs your dog’s gut is happy and healthy.

What your dog eats plays a huge role in their poop quality. If you’re noticing soft stools, irregularity, or digestive issues, adding the right foods can make a big difference.
