Poop Chart!

[BRT]

Nice to see another BRT owner! Welcome!

Thanks Sara! Its my first BRT, and i´m very impressed with this breed. I couldn´t ask for more, and i´m sure you now what i´m talking about. It´s funny, i know a guy that works here in Europe and it´s from Oregon, he is a great person, so if you are also from Oregon and have a BRT you must be a super person

Thank you for the kind words!
What a small world it is....
I hope to see you around...I know you will find some useful information here.

BTW, I'd love to see some pics. of your BRT!

lets see if we can associate the scoring with the food brand hehe:

Score 0: Iams
Score 25: Pedigree, Purina,
Score 50: Diamond (Canidae, TOTW, SG)
Score 75: Wellness Core, Fromm, Blue Buffalo
Score 100: Orijen, Acana, Evo, Nature's Variety

hehe, i was just having fun with this :)

I feed wellness core and my dogs all poop in the 100 range. Haven't seen any soft poop since I started feeding them core...Definitely not a 75 those look pretty nasty to me and I wouldn't be happy with them...at all O_O' I worked in a boarding facility and most dogs who came had 75s on foods like Solid Gold. I HATED picking those up.

My dogs - some of their poops are pretty white from the bone I feed in their raw food. The poops differ because I feed kibble in morning usually - resulting in the very hard dark poops and raw at night, resulting in the crumbly poos. They don't strain to poo either..

i didn't eat breakfast this morning but
i had to look at the poop chart. after looking at the chart
i can say my dogs poops are good and so are mine. ROTFL.

once again a 100 is NOT ideal guys.

Interesting topic lol. I'm a vet tech so I see the worst of the worst at times. Anyways, my dog is currently on a transition from Merrick's Dry (the one with the grain and cute names) to Acana Wild Prairie. His poops since being on Merricks have been in the soft probably 50 range with some bouts of diarrhea for no reason. This has gone on really since he was put on Merricks 5 months ago. He was on Innova before that and did a little better til the last bag before we switched. He got really bad diarrhea and so that was the end of innova for us especially with the buyout. Well I decided to go grain free because his coat is really looking dry on merricks, and really he has always had some dandruff and being black, it is way more noticable. I am hoping his stools will look better on the Acana. I really am hoping for the 100 or 2 on the second chart. It is embarrassing when he goes and I can't clean it up all the way because it smears on the ground. Plus it would be nice for him to go once on a walk instead of 2-3 times or more. That has happened since switching to merricks. Here's to hoping for better poops lol.

So! whats ideal? most of the time the boys poop is 100. should I be concerned if its 100.

[VeatchsMama]

Looks like my boys inbetween the 50 and 75 range...

LOL My Husband is now positive that I am crazy...looking at pictures of poop online!! Good to know though right? I always thought that a dog with firm formed easily cleaned up poo was getting the most from his diet. Less waste means the dog is absorbing more nutrients, or am I mistaken?

My vet says a good poo should be "kickable" - lol! If that's the case, my dog, Brodie fails. He's between 50 and 75 right now. Boxers seem to have a corner on the market when it comes to digestive issues...
