My puppy's poop is lighter than usual. Is pale dog poop normal?

Question

Does her poop colour look normal? It's different from her usual dark brown poop. Pet's info: Dog | Golden Retriever | Female | unspayed | 6 months old | 45 lbs

I believe this is a duplicate question. Yes the color is a bit paler than normal, which is often a sign of dehydration. Try adding in water to her diet by mixing in wet/canned food. This should resolve the issue. As long as everything else is normal with her, then there is no need for serious concern here. However, if you are noticing other symptoms such as weight loss, lack of appetite, etc, then she may have an underlying issue. At that time a vet visit is recommended to check her pancreas.
