okay. im dog sitting and the dog is aggressive when anyone goes near his butt and he has a lump of poop stuck to his fur
Thanks for using Boop by Petco! You have a few options here. You could get a muzzle to avoid getting bit. You could consider bathing him which will make the lump of feces more manageable when is wet. Also, you could consider using an e-collar so that it is difficult for him to get around you to potentially bite. Good luck!

My puppy has poop stuck behind his butt on his fur. I can't take it out.
If the poop is just stuck to the fur I would recommend either soaking it to get it off or if you have a dog clipper (like a groomer uses, not scissors) and clip it off. To soak it, I would take a wet wash cloth and just soak it until you can take a dog comb and comb it out. Thank you for using Boop by Petco.

What can I use for a stool deterrent? My 3 dogs eat each other’s stool and it’s hard to stop them.
Hi there and thanks for posting on Boop by Petco! I would recommend a product called For-Bid which is a supplement you sprinkle on Mazee's food to help deter her from consuming her own fecal material. It is available at your local pet supply store or your local veterinarian may carry the product as well. I hope this helps!

GENERAL INFORMATION A bland diet is a diet that is soft and highly digestible. It is low in fiber, fat and protein and is high in carbohydrates. Bland diets are generally composed of a single carbohydrate source and a single lean protein source. The most common bland diet is boiled rice and boiled lean chicken breast, without skin and bones. Since bland diets are low in fiber, stool production slows and defecation is less frequent. Bland diets are fed to rest the gastric system and to help promote normal stool formation. Animals that are physically sick should not be fed bland diets as a method of treatment. PRIOR TO FEEDING A BLAND DIET Pets should be fasted for 12 to 24 hours. Young animals should not be fasted for more than 12 hours. Fasting will allow the intestinal system to relax and minimize acid secretions that may irritate and inflame the intestinal lining. During the fast small amounts of water or ice chips may be provided. Never fast a sick animal, it may cause disease prog

Our dog has been off his worm prevention due to medication he was on for surgery. About 3 weeks ago we noticed him scooting. Poop sample to vet came back clean. Now he scoots once or twice just at night! Never all day long. I noticed my wife’s hair i
Thanks for visiting Boop by Petco. I think its perfectly feasible to assume that if you are seeing hair in Figlio's poop that this could be causing irritation of his rectum. Often-times the hair gets stuck between sections of the feces, causing them to string together. This causes the poop to kind of hang out a bit, and subsequent scooting. Check his back end to ensure there is no poop there that didn't quite make its way out. I would also recommend keeping hair ties out of his reach here moving forward to prevent this from continuing to be a problem. Another causes of scooting is an anal gland issue. If you are not seeing any hanging poop then its best to get his anal glands checked and squeezed if they are full. Some dogs have a problem expressing these themselves when they go #2, so they need to have them manually expressed once every 4-6 weeks. Worm prevention is the same for him as any other pet, so you can go with anything really such as Pyrantel Palmoate, Fenbendazole, etc.
