Hi there and thank you for using Pet Coach! As long as he is not straining to defecate, this should not be an issue. If you would like to increase the size of the stool, I would add fiber to the diet or feed a high fiber dog food. This should help bulk up the stool. I hope this helps! Please let me know if you have any other questions / concerns.
