Reading Your Dog’s Poop

Reading Your Dog’s Poop – A Simple Guide to Early Health Detection

It may not be the most pleasant topic, but your dog’s poop is one of the clearest indicators of their health.

What Different Colours Indicate

• Brown and firm: Healthy digestion

• Yellow: Digestive imbalance or food intolerance

• Green: Possible parasites or dietary upset

• Black: Possible internal bleeding (vet attention needed)

Our Monitoring Protocol at Furry’s Day Out

Before panicking, pause treats, ensure adequate water intake, and monitor for 48 hours. Many mild issues resolve with small dietary corrections.

What Pet Parents Should Do First

During boarding, stool consistency and frequency are monitored daily. Any abnormal change is addressed early, preventing minor issues from becoming serious problems.

Understanding these signs empowers pet parents to act early—and early action is the key to long-term health.

Consistency matters just as much as colour. Loose or very hard stools often signal dietary or hydration issues.
