My dog , a Bichon, has had skinny poops for the past couple of weeks. Not diarrhea, just skinny. I tried adding rice to his food, but still the same . Should I worry ?

Hi there and thank you for using Pet Coach! As long as Tiger is eating, drinking and not having diarrhea, this should not be a major concern. It may reflect the amount of fiber in the diet though. I would consider adding canned pumpkin to the diet (1tbsp with each meal) and see if this bulks the stool up. I hope this helps! Please feel free to contact me with any further questions / concerns you may have.
