My new puppy's poop is loose and frequent. Should I be concerned?

Question

Hi! I got my Pembroke Welsh Corgi on Wednesday, May 1st. So I've had her for almost a week now. She is seemingly transitioning VERY well. But, she is eliminating (stool) 5+ times a day. Yesterday it was a total of 8 times. As the day progressed her stool became looser and lighter. The only different thing she has eaten is a teething/dental ring and sporadic mini training treats. Should I be worried? Pet's info: Dog | Pembroke Welsh Corgi | Female | unspayed | 2 months and 1 day old | 4.4 lbs

Keep an eye on her bowel movements and if they do not significantly improve or if they get worse or she becomes ill in the next day or so, get her in to see your veterinarian. If you changed her to a new food from what she was eating at the breeder, this could explain the change, and the stress/excitement of being in her new home. She should be due for another set of vaccinations in the next few weeks, you can mention the change to your vet then or call them now and ask their advice.
