Maybe. When I give treats to my babies...their stool will be on the softer side. I use plain boiled chicken for training treats. Trust me, my pup learned how to sit, down, up, hand instantly. Better for their tummy & you'll get results faster. What is VF? Remember when switching food, do it gradually in 5-7 days (or they get diarrhea). You can also try boiled white rice or canned pumpkin (not the pie filling kind), it firms up their stool.

Not to alarm you but I heard that dogs can pick up roundworm eggs from digging dirt. This website has lots of info & pictures. Beware pictures of poop!
Diarrhea In The Dog and Cat and Its Causes in ThePetCenter.com The best would be to go see a vet as soon as you can if you're concerned. They can also prescribe the right meds & hopefully your baby's poop will be ok again!
