Yesterday my dog pooped out in two different tones half of it was a lighter brown and other half a dark color i picked it up with a paper towel and it left like a very dark color residue. Today she pooped normal color. Should I be concerned? We did start naturvet all in one supplements and they are a dark color. She is her normal self and eating normal. Should I be concerned?

I see a bit of the purple brown color in his feces, and given that Sam is on a new supplement, it is possible that's the culprit of the color change. Without knowing what supplement he is on, I can't say this for certain so having him seen by a vet for a health check would be best to be safe. I would bring a sample in of his feces for the vet to examine as well.
