Doggy Mess Poo

Product Information

While eating berries, vegetables, or dyed treats can cause your dog's stool to look pink or purple in color, another possible reason is Hemorrhagic Gastroenteritisor HGE. No smell at all: This isn't typical and may mean the poop isn't fully formed due to diarrhea or malabsorption.

Digestive tolerance reflects the reaction of the animal to the diet, and it can be assessed by determining fecal quality (consistency, moisture, volume, odor, and color). ( Source) The Havapoo is recognized by the American Canine Hybrid Club (ACHC), the Designer Dogs Kennel Club (DDKC), Dog Registry of America, Inc. (DRA), International Designer Canine Registry (IDCR) as well as Designer Breed Registry (DBR). Of course, these registries are mostly reserved for designer dog breeds, and not purebred dogs – established canine clubs such as the AKC don’t recognize them as an actual breed. The reason why the Havapoo is not on such a list is simply its mixed origins and the high standards of purebred registries. Havapoos are moderately active, which makes them good choices for small homes or apartments (provided that they are still brought outside to run and play at the park or in a fenced-in yard). Their low-maintenance exercise needs and sweet nature also the reason why retirees might find this adorable designer dog a perfect companion to share their golden years with. You’ll get all of the affection and attention that you’ve come to expect from the best dog breeds on the market with only a fraction of the exercise that those other pup’s require.

If they have swallowed something sharp (plastic, needle, bone, etc.), this could tear the intestinal lining and cause bleeding on their way out. Sometimes you may notice a small amount of blood in your dog’s stool. If your dog hasn’t been showing any signs of distress or discomfort and appears to be its normal self, then it’s best to just keep a close eye on them. Medications for dog diarrhea may also be an option, but may require a prescription and should always be given under advice of your veterinarian Liver disease can also lead to gray poop due to decreased bile production by the liver, which helps the body digest and absorb nutrients. If there comes a time when you have to change your dog’s food, it may affect their poop – at least for a while. Just like we humans experience a period of adjustment when we eat a new cuisine in a foreign country, your dog experiences something similar when you start them on a new food.

When you are looking at your pet's poop contents, you are looking for anything that is out of the ordinary . Generally, as long as your dog's poop looks and smells consistent without changes in the above qualities, it's likely normal and healthy. If you notice that more blood appears in their stool, or your pet seems unwell, then you should speak to your vet.

Top Causes of Dog Diarrhea

That’s why although everyone poops, including your dog, taking a closer look at what comes out can give you insight into your dog’s health. Watery poop in dogs can be caused by many factors. Runny poop can be a result of stress, medication, eating new food or food that’s intended for humans. It can also be a sign of infection or an underlying condition. Frequency: This depends on the dog's diet, size, age, and individual factors, but most dogs poop 1-2 times daily. More or less frequent could indicate an issue.
