My dog's poop is purple. What does this color mean and is it serious?

Question

My dogs poo came out purple. What does this mean? Pet's info: Dog | Leonberger | Male | unneutered | 165 lbs

Laura Bailey, DVM · Accepted Answer

Rufus probably ate something that was colored purple. A lot of kids food/cereals or cool aid can turn poo different colors because of the dye they use in the food. Try to investigate to see if he got into the trash or could have eaten some purple colored food. If Rufus starts to act like he doesn't feel well, take him into the vet immediately because he could have gotten into something toxic. Hope this has helped. Thanks for using pet coach.
