Why is my dog's poop solid then pudding-like but he acts normal?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Medium (23 - 60lb) | Male | neutered | 3 months and 29 days old | 10 lbs

For the last two days, Wally poops have been different. His first movement of the day is solid but through the day they become like a pudding consistency. He has been on the same food for eight weeks and hasnt had any trouble till now. He does not act I'll in any way and is normal in every other capacity. Any ideas?

Even though Wally’s food hasn’t changed it could be that he would do better with a different diet. Parasites would be another possibility. If this continues or if the diarrhea gets worse I’d recommend having him examined by your vet.
