Healthy and ideal dog poop is a solid, firm, and dark brown stool. When a pet's gut microbiome is disrupted, common digestive symptoms like diarrhea or loose stools may occur. It's important to observe if the dog's stool easily breaks apart, is mushy, or lacks form, resembling mud or water. Prolonged diarrhea or loose stools can lead to dehydration due to loss of fluids and electrolytes, warranting caution.

Since you can assess a dog's health simply by observing its stool, it's advisable to regularly check for any abnormalities in its stool consistency.
