Does anyone know what color a normal puppy’s poop is? For those of you who have dogs at home, you know what the color of dog poop is. Today I will share with you some popular science about the healthy color of puppy poop.

『Yellow poop』

Healthy poop is yellow. At the same time, the texture of dog poop is moderately soft and hard. Although poop has a fixed smell, it is easy to clean up. It is best to pick it up completely from the ground with a pinch of a napkin.

『Gray-white poop』

If the poop is gray-white, it may be jaundice or bile duct obstruction caused by stones, roundworms, tumors, etc., resulting in the inability to discharge biliflavin casually. When encountering this situation, the poop collector should take the pet dog at home to the hospital for examination and treatment in time.

『Green poop』

If the poop is green, it means that the dog has eaten vegetables with high iron content. Before they are fully digested and absorbed, it is easy to cause green poop. If your dog’s intestinal acidity is too high, it may also cause his poop to appear green.

『Dark yellow poop』

If your dog’s poop is dark yellow, then a large number of red blood cells in the dog’s body will be destroyed to produce jaundice, which may result in darker poop.

『Orange poop』

If your dog’s poop is orange, it often means that the dog’s digestion is not good, which will lead to this situation when the food cannot be fully absorbed.

『Red poop』

If the dog’s poop is red, the poop scavenger must first check whether the dog’s poop is bloody due to anal fissure. If not, it is likely to be bleeding from its lower gastrointestinal tract.

『Brown poop』

If your dog’s poop is brown, this is also the color of healthy poop. In this case, the poop indicates that the food the dog eats contains more fat, and the fat intake should be reduced appropriately.

『Black poop』

If the dog poop is black and jelly-like, the poop scooper must be careful. This means that the dog’s stomach, small intestine, duodenum and other digestive organs are bleeding.

Therefore, whether a dog is healthy or not can be discovered in daily feeding and management. Develop a healthy life plan and diet list for pet dogs, so that poop collectors can have a healthier and more active dog!
