Hi there and thank you for using pet coach to address your concern. I would not be too concerned by this as sometimes dogs can go an entire day without defeating. I would add 1 tbsp of canned pumpkin to the food and see if this helps normalize the stool if it continues. If this continues I would recommend changing to a different food and see if this helps. I hope this helps guide you in the right direction. Please feel free to contact me if you have any other questions or concerns and I would be more than happy to help you further.
