My dog's poop has undigested kibble. Is this normal or concerning?

I believe you posted yesterday about this same issue, and I explained yesterday that not all the veggies you feed Chloe will be digested. Yes she is getting nutrients out of it, but the food will be too fibrous for the dog to fully digest. As an example, humans can't fully digest corn, which is why you see corn in the feces. You get the nutrients from it, but you can't fully digest the corn itself. If you are feeding her blueberries, then yes I would expect to have that affect the color of her feces. She is not a ruminant (which are herbivores) so she cannot fully digest veggies and fruits like they can. Biologically, she does not have the organs (ruminants have a four chambered stomach to digest plants fully) or the microorganisms to assist in that digestion. If Chloe was having problems with malabsorption, she would be experiencing pale runny feces and weight loss amount other symptoms. There is not need to worry about this at all :-)

Hi, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! You may need to feed the i/d stew for a few days in a row to appreciate a difference in stool. But Chloe's stool may look the same on both diets. The stool is normal in each picture, so I'm not sure what the goal with her stool is. I hope this helps!

It is important to monitor her body weight, condition and coat health and stool quality in order to assess how well balanced her nutritional state is. Many vegetable and grain particles can retain size and structure of the fiberous nature even though the dissolvable nutrients may have been absorbed. Dogs digest neat based products much easier

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Honestly both stools look fine. I would encourage you to proceed with the diet that Choe prefers. If she likes to have 1/2 of each then that would be good too. If at any point she develops diarrhea then it could be indicated to try something else. Good luck and have a great day!

Thank you for contacting Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach with your question about Bentley. It's ok if the poop is coming out in small pieces as long as it's the normal color and consistency. I would not be worried. I hope this helps!

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! This is not normal or expected or common. Having grains in a diet is not a reason to suspect diarrhea or loose stools so I would think that the loose stools are due to something else. This can be observed with conditions such as colitis, gastroenteritis, dietary indiscretion, intestinal parasites, among many other possibilities. If this continues, I recommend that you have Chloe evaluated by your veterinarian for further assessment and treatment. They may choose to check for parasites and to start medications for diarrhea depending on the results. Good luck! Hoping for a speedy recovery!

Hello and thank you for reaching out to Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. That appears to be a seed of sorts. I’m not sure what kind, but the outer shell appears intact. If Ella is otherwise acting normally and not having any other clinical signs (diarrhea, vomiting, lethargy, decreased appetite), then I would recommend monitoring her at home. If she has any of these signs, then she may need to be evaluated by a veterinarian. I hope this is helpful!
