Thank you for additional information on Jake's poo! It can be normal for a dog's poo to be varying shades of brown, and it can be softer depending on what he fed previously. It could be that his stomach is a little upset, causing the softer than normal poo and variation in color, so you can try a home remedy to see if that helps. I would feed him a bland diet of boiled white meat chicken (no bones) and white rice in small amounts several times a day for a couple of days. Then slowly add back in his normal diet.
