My dog has loose stool from undigested food. When to see a vet?

Question

My dog has been having loose stool for about a week. I'm pretty certain it's because of the pumpkin and greens I've been giving her. (For about two weeks now) I stopped this about 2 days ago. Her stool seemed better this morning. But it was still loose yesterday. Should I take her to the vet? I still see some orange and blueberries in her stool so I'm assuming she just has undigested food that's still in her system. (I stopped feeding her all the produce two days ago)

It's good that her stool is better this morning, and I would continue to monitor it. Orange and blueberries can be hard for a dog to digest, and that's probably why you are still seeing it in her stool. Given you are seeing improvement in the stool, continue to monitor it for the next 24-48 hours. If it isn't normal after that time period, then I would have her seen by a vet.
