When poop is not brown...

When your dogs poop is not normal brown or changes consistency or coating may be an indication of parasites, digestive issues or a change is health. A vet can diagnose the health issue but in the meantime a bland diet gives the stomach and intestines a break from having to work hard to process foods while providing nutritional support.

Blend: 50% cooked lean meat (least amount of fat possible; boiled meat is best) such as ground turkey, sirloin, chicken breast & 50% cooked sweet potato or canned pumpkin (ex. Libby's 100% pumpkin, not "pumpkin pie filling").
Approximate amounts to feed: 1 - 10 lbs 1/2 cup every 8 hours
11 - 20 lbs 3/4 cup every 8 hours
21 - 40 lbs 1 cup every 8 hours
41 - 60 lbs 1 1/2 cups every 8 hours
61 - 80 lbs 2 cups every 8 hours 81 - 100 lbs 2 1/2 cups every 8 hours

Additional options: You can also add a natural gastrointestinal support to firm stools. Purchase Slippery Elm powder at the health food store and mix 1/2 teaspoon per every 10 lbs of dog per meal.

If diarrhea continues past 7 days or clinical signs worsen please seek medical care.
