Strange Dog Poo?

Asked by: 1025 views Dog Health

My 7 mo old puggle in heat just had a poop that was full of what looks like large sand or salt granules in it. It was very crumbly.

The only thing I changed in her diet recently was giving her canned carrots (that include some salt) instead of canned pumpkin. Could this be the culprit?

    not sure but i would continue using pumpkin, and maybe even feeding your dog some plain yougurt, the natural enzymes help with digestive issues.

    Raw carrots are fine for dogs but I wouldn’t recommend feeding canned carrots, they have way too much sugar and sodium for your dog. Pumpkin is great because it has fiber which will firm up the stool but besides that pumpkin really has no other benefit.

    I find it interesting that pumpkin and carrots actually firm up the stool. With human beings, it is the exact opposite!
