Feeding dry but wet poops? - YorkieTalk.com Forums

We feed Penny Wellness dry food and Beef Complete dry food. She used to have dry poops, but lately she has sticky, mushy poop.

The only thing that has changed is that we let her drink all day long instead of regulating her water. When we were first potty training we regulated the water.

Any ideas?

When that happens to my pups, they sometimes have giardia. You might want to take a stool sample to the vet and they can test it. Good luck, hope she feels better soon.

have you recently changed foods or are in the process of? sometimes if you change foods too fast or feed two different brands it throws of their digestive system and give them the poops and an upset stomach for a couple of days. i would watch just to make sure it doesn't get watery. becasue then you are at risk for dehydration.

there are also great hollistic measures to put in the food to stop soft/runny stools
