Your Dog's Poop
When you first transition to raw food, you will observe changes in your dog’s poop. Some might have really hard poop while others might have soft, loose stool. This is perfectly normal because your dog’s gut is still adjusting. This adjustment period varies per dog but it takes around 2 weeks for their body to “eliminate” the old diet and adjust to the new diet. Note that even if you shift your dogs from one fresh food brand to another, they will still go through an adjustment period.
Dogs on a raw diet have small, hard, solid, brown poop. When left to dry, you’ll notice the poop turns crumbly and whitish. This is because dogs on a raw diet are better able to digest and process the food they eat. BECAUSE THEY WERE REALLY MEANT TO EAT FRESH FOOD! That’s why what leaves their body as poop is really just waste. Also, you’ll notice that your dog’s poop is less stinky. If you try to smell it, it actually even smells meaty
