Were your dogs always on Science Diet or did you change to it recently? Do they get outside and manage to eat things from the yard? Either of those things can cause mucus in the stools. Sometimes one food or another is too rich in one or two nutrients for the baby or things like that. If it keeps happening, perhaps your vet or a nutritionist can help you slowly change the food until you find something that creates a normal stool each time.

I'm so glad you joined YT and hope it helps you the way it has me.
Hi Jilly,
Thank you for the welcome. They have been on Science diet since I got them, except for two weeks when the other puppy refused to eat. I have to put her on wet food until she accepted the dry nuts. She is doing well now ... It's all trial and error, just a shame that the puppies suffer along the way. Hope to chat again sometime.
Pauline, Pixie and GI Joe
