| Gross, but a question about some poo. Sheldon has always had very consistent poop. Solid, brown, healthy poo. He eats Royal Canin Extra Small Puppy formula kibble and then I give him small amounts of higher quality canned food every now and then (a few times a week) as a treat. Generally, he tolerates it well and his poop stays consistent. He is a good eater, so I only give it occasionally, as to not discourage him from eating his kibble. The other day, however, I gave him a salmon based canned food (honestly can't even remember the brand, unfortunately, but it was a higher-end, grain free). For a couple of days, he pooped a light tan, or beige color, but still solid and nearly odorless. I stopped feeding it and went back to things I know he tolerated well, and his poo returned to normal. Maybe I'm being paranoid, but I'm nervous about the change in color, even just brief. It was probably just the food, yes? |

| Sounds like it to me, yes. Any change in their diet can affect the color and texture of their poops. I pay attention whenever I give Billi a new food or treat to see how it affects her poop. If it makes it too hard/soft for her, I don't feed it again.

| I agree with Faboosh. A question about poop, not too gross. A picture of the poop attached, maybe a little gross, lol. |

| in the years of owning dogs, I have found diff. foods do change the color of their poop. You are doing this on occasion,(small amts during the week) so the poop color will change, so may the texture of the poop. Maybe it was just the salmon that made it lighter in color, as long as the poop texture didn't change, get loose, I wouldn't worry about it. You said you feed that to him for a couple of days, maybe if you only gave it to him one time his poop color would have stayed the same, 2 days in a row I could see a change in color.
