Dogs Poo solid then sloppy

Hi - my dog does a solid normal poo and then a few mins later he might go again and it will be sloppy, not runny, just sloppy and soft.

any ideas why?

he seems very healthy, no change in his behaviour, loves his food and eats it all.

raw bones or raw chicken wings are good for keeping things firm

Re: Dogs Poo solid then sloppy

Zach does the same on walks, when we get to the park he'l do a big normal poo then five mins later he's doing a little sloppy one, no idea why but I've heard it happens a lot

Re: Dogs Poo solid then sloppy

Is it possible that you could be over-feeding your dog?

I have had a similar problem with my dog, I have gradually reduced his food and now he is spot on.

Adam is correct this usually happens because of slight overfeeding. Dont worry..

agree with the above posts, its possibly down to slight overfeeding.
