My dog's poop is soft after a car ride. Is it stress or excitement?

Question

Hi! I just came home from a trip to the pet store and lake for a walk and pick up treats. But before that his poop was healthy and now after long car rides and doing all that his poop is like this. Is it stress? Because he is getting use to riding in a car and sometimes it stresses him out. Was it too much excitement meeting all those people?

it is likely caused by the excitement of the drive, going somewhere and meeting lots of new things and people. It is not a big concern that his poop is a bit soft. It should get back to its usual quality within a day or two.
