My dog got loose stool from wheatgrass. How much and how to prepare?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

My dog really enjoys wheat grass. Will she digest it whole or does it need to be pureed or juiced? She also gets a few tablespoons of pumpkin and greens. I gave her about 2 tablespoons (maybe slightly more) of wheat grass whole and she had loose stool. How much should I give her and in what form? Thanks!

It would be easier for her to digest if it was pureed or juiced, so I would do that instead. Dogs can get diarrhea from having too much fiber in their diet, and it sounds like you are overdoing it with the pumpkin, greens, and wheatgrass. I would only give her the pumpkin and greens or the wheatgrass, not all of that in one day.
