Gut Health Matters

And Your Dog’s Poo Tells the Story. We know it’s not glamorous, but your dog’s stool can be one of the best indicators of their overall health. Let’s walk through what’s normal, what’s not, and how nutrition plays a role.

Stool Appearance Guide

Solid orange color swatch

Firm & Well-Formed

A+ gut health! Your pup’s digestion is on point! Firm, log-shaped stool that’s easy to pick up signals a healthy gut and balanced nutrition.

Soft or Mushy

Food may not be digesting fully, or your dog could be sensitive to something in their diet. Stress or sudden food changes can also cause this.

Hard & Dry

Your dog might not be getting enough water or fiber. Constipation can also come from too many fillers or low-quality ingredients in food.

Loose or Watery

Frequent loose stool can signal food intolerance, dietary imbalance, or gut irritation.

Mucus, Blood, or Drastic Change

Time to call your vet. This could indicate infection, parasites, or a more serious issue.

Brothers Reminder:

Every dog is unique, and occasional changes happen, but consistent gut issues are your pup’s way of saying something’s off. Nutrition is the key, and that’s where Brothers comes in.

Bad Breath

If their kisses suddenly smell worse than usual, it could be linked to digestion.

Low Energy or Restlessness

Gut issues can make dogs sluggish, or the opposite — restless and uneasy.

Frequent Upset Stomachs

Recurring tummy troubles aren’t “just how your dog is” — they’re usually a sign something’s off.

Tip: Look for patterns, not one-offs. A single upset stomach might not mean much, but repeated issues are worth paying attention to.

When to Call Your Vet

We’re here to help you choose the right food, but if you notice drastic changes, blood, or ongoing issues, always reach out to your veterinarian. Nutrition is powerful, but sometimes your pup needs medical attention, too.
