Toby is adorable! As long as Toby is acting normal, eating normal, not vomiting and there is no blood you can always try boiled chicken and white rice as a bland diet for him. If any other symptoms develop or he has diarrhea for more then 2 days I recommend a visit to your veterinarian. Dogs can get diarrhea for many different reasons. It can be from stress, a new food or treat, intestinal parasites, foreign body, etc. Thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.
