When there is less meat and more vegetables and grains in the food, the stool will be light yellow and moist.
On the contrary, when there is more meat and less vegetables and grains, the stool will be dark brown and have a strong smell.
In addition, we can also check whether their feces are "healthy" by shape, color, smell and so on.
1. shape
The poop of healthy cats and dogs should be the shape shown below. If it is not shaped, soft and watery, it is likely to be intestinal inflammation or indigestion. If it becomes thick and spherical, it is caused by excessive water absorption, which may be constipation.
colour
Yellow, brown
Dogs excrete about one to three times a day, and the poop has no odor, a certain sense of solidification and wetness, which is very convenient to take. Freshly baked healthy poop should be yellow or brown under normal circumstances.
green
Dogs who eat too much vegetables, grass and seaweed powder will be ruled out if they are not fully digested.
red
If the stool is obviously red, it may be bleeding in the colon or rectum (it is normal to have red after eating red pitaya)
Gray stools may be caused by two reasons. If the stool is soft, it is usually abnormal liver function. If the stool is dry, it should be eating too many bones. ...
Smell
The stool has a foul smell, which may be a serious intestinal infection with bleeding. If it is a strong smell, it is likely that you have indigestion and overeating, eating too much meat, and eating too much protein will also have a strong smell.
4. parasites
If cats and dogs are thin and have a bad appetite, parents should pay attention to whether there are parasites in their feces. Tapeworms and roundworms are the most common in general feces, so it is necessary to deworm hairballs on time.
Picky eaters, soft stools all the year round and terrible excrement, these three historical problems have been encountered by every shovel officer.
And these three things usually point to a problem-dog food may be wrong!
Every child's gastrointestinal function, absorption state and sensitivity to food are different. Choosing a kind of whole grains suitable for hairy children is the basis and premise of health.
