Digestive System: Bowel Movement

Overview:

The most common dog bowel movement issue tends to be diarrhea, followed next by constipation. Dog parents are also frequently concerned about any dog bowel obstruction.  Typically, if a dog has diarrhea, s/he will range back and forth between one extreme and the other before the situation settles and their bowel movements are more “normal.”

Keep in mind as well that what is “normal” for your dog and someone else’s may be two different things. So, just because the neighbor’s dog may have a loose stool and yours does not, may simply mean they’re being fed a grain based diet that produces large amounts of loose stool, while yours is being fed a high end holistic brand that does not produce copious quantities of loose stool.

What we’re aiming to provide you with is a guideline to dog bowel movement problems that really “are” a problem and need vet treatment.
