Small and compact, and does indeed dry out within a few minutes and if stepped on after dried turns to dust.
I remember seeing fake dog poop (rubber) at magic shops and gag stores and the shape of the poop was just like the kibble fed poop. Like chocolate soft serve. (National ice cream day is this Sunday.) I guess that was the norm of dog poop in the 80s? |
I do think the author def supports raw diets above others, so I'm not surprised you may see a bit of bias there. I too believe there are many healthy kibbles out there! And yup, most everything out there is "processed" somehow.

I'm sure all dogs are so individual w/ their poo consistency, so you're probably not the only one who disagrees on this. I will say for us...back when I fed kibble to Wylie...his poos were very smelly and voluminuous and kinda mushy/wet; but now that mine eat mostly raw, their poos are small, firm, much drier and compact. But who knows? Maybe she's just trying to capture what she *mostly* sees...but there are probably outliers...?
