How to put it in the poop bag?
Dog diarrhea
The texture of a dog's poop can sometimes look very different. Depending on breed, age and feeding technique, animals are easily susceptible to changes in fecal consistency. For us dog owners, it can be very unpleasant when the feces is difficult to pick up. But it is not pathological every time.
The shape and amount of dog poop is a very good indicator of the digestibility of the food.
Often it is feeding errors such as abrupt food changes or new treats that negatively affect the dog's feces for a short time. However, if your dog regularly has a soft fecal consistency, then this is a sign that something does not fit optimally in the feeding.
After every disease of the digestive tract, after antibiotic administration or strong changes in the feeding method (e.g. ready-made food to BARF), an intestinal rehabilitation with probiotics is very useful. The intestinal rehabilitation should actively help your dog for at least 4-8 weeks so that the intestinal flora is strengthened or regenerated. Also our dogs can get an imbalance of the intestinal bacteria and thus show an insufficient digestion or little appetite.
As a dog owner, you should question the cause of the diarrhea. Was there a rapid change of food, new treats or increased treat licks? These would be causes that easily affect fecal consistency and bring about a quick improvement. However, if your dog has permanent soft feces, then causes such as an intolerance, food allergy, intestinal disease, pancreatic problems or parasites are a possibility. In this case, it is beneficial to keep a food diary. The dog should be diagnosed at the veterinarian. In parallel, a nutritional consultation can start with the feed history and cause identification.
I wish for your dogs solid piles of feces and a good collection. I would be very happy to send you a free food diary or recipes for a gentle diet. Send me an e-mail for this purpose. Yours truly, Maxi from Maxima Cura
