Soft Dog Feces

Soft dog feces may be due to overeating causing dog indigestion, resulting in feces that cannot be formed. In this case, you can appropriately reduce the dog's food intake and increase its exercise. Additionally, if you change the dog's food, soft stools may also occur. Therefore, when changing food, you can slowly mix old and new food to allow the dog's intestines to adapt. Also, dog food with too much oil may cause soft stools, so you can choose dog food with lower oil content.
