The Scoop On Poop: Diets For Digestive Issues In Dogs

It’s a thing that looms large in the daily lives of dog owners. We’d rather not think about it, but we have to. We want to turn our back and stride confidently away, but common decency, multiple bylaws, and a deathly stare from fellow walkers mean there is no way you’ll leave pet parental responsibilities unattended to. 

You guessed it; we’re talking about poop. 

For most pet parents, it’s something we encounter almost daily. For apartment dwellers, that’s simply a given fact, and for most pet parents worldwide, it’s one of the ultimate pitfalls of pet ownership.

But what if we told you that it didn’t need to be? What if we said every dog could be the proud producer of firm, odourless stools? Once upon a time, we would have said it was a myth, but that’s exactly what a high-quality diet can do for your pooch, and we are here to uncover the stink on your dog’s business, invite you to pull up a stool (excuse the pun) and learn.

What goes in must come out...

But what may look nice in your dog’s dinner bowl can look and smell different at the other end. Essentially, poop is whatever is left of food once your dog’s body has absorbed all the nutrients needed from their meals. Food is fuel and medicine for your dog’s body, so a premium diet rich in proteins and fats is essential.

This translates into less waste overall. With a high-quality diet, you’ll notice more consistent, healthier stools daily. And, as a bonus, they’ll typically have little or no odour!

Is there such a thing as the perfect poop? 

There are too many variations of normal to pin this one down. But if your dog’s business is quite literally causing a stink in your life, then maybe it’s time to look at trialling your pooch on a new diet that can encourage the firm, odourless poop your dog walker will thank you for.

However, like anything in life, perfect poops don’t come without a little bit of work and good old-fashioned perseverance. A good dose of meaty goodness can often take a carbohydrate-filled belly by storm and cause a couple of unsightly poops before the glory emerges. Think of it as a dog detox, a good clean out of the system to make way for firmer and more pleasant things.
