💩 What Your Pet’s Poop Says About Their Health

Let’s be honest: no one loves talking about poop. But if you’re a pet parent, you’re already looking at it every day—so you might as well get something out of it. Because believe it or not, your dog or cat’s stool is one of the most reliable indicators of their health.

Pro tip: Lolahemp’s Immunity Mushroom Chews support digestion & stool in dogs ✅

✅ What Healthy Poop Looks Like

🐶 Dogs

• Shape: Log-like, firm but not hard

• Color: Medium to chocolate brown

• Consistency: Easy to pick up, not sticky or runny

• Frequency: 1–3 times daily, depending on diet and routine

• Smell: Yep, it’ll stink—but it shouldn’t knock you over

🐱 Cats

• Shape: Small, well-formed nuggets or logs

• Color: Dark brown

• Consistency: Firm but not dry or crumbly

• Frequency: 1–2 times daily, or every other day for some cats

• Smell: Noticeable, but not overwhelming (especially if the box is scooped daily)

🚩 When Poop Could Mean a Problem

Call your vet if you see:

• Loose, watery, or unformed stool for more than a day

• Very hard, dry pellets (especially in older or constipated pets)

• Streaks of mucus or blood

• Unusual colors like black (which can indicate bleeding), pale yellow, green, or gray

• Sudden changes in frequency or volume

• Persistent foul odor beyond normal

• Visible worms, rice-like bits, or fur clumps

Pro tip: If something seems off, take a photo or bring a sample to your vet. It’s way more helpful than guessing.

🧠 What It Might Mean

Abnormal poop could be a sign of:

• Dietary intolerance or food change

• Parasites or infection

• Stress or anxiety

• Inflammatory bowel issues

• Liver, kidney, or pancreas problems

• Hydration issues or dehydration

🎯 What You Can Do Between Vet Visits

• Stick to a consistent diet—don’t switch foods too often

• Use probiotics to support gut balance (especially after meds or stress)

• Hydration matters—offer fresh water, and wet food if needed

• Keep an eye on treats—rich or greasy snacks can trigger soft stool

• Scoop or pick up regularly so you actually see what’s going on

❤️ Wrapping Up: The Scoop on Pet Poop

Healthy poop isn’t glamorous—but it’s one of the easiest ways to catch issues early.
If your dog or cat’s bathroom habits change suddenly or don’t look right, your vet is the best first call.
