My dog has loose stool and upset stomach. Can I give him Pepto or bland food?

Question

My dog seems to be a bit off this morning. He ate breakfast but not immediately. His stool seems loose with a bit of yellow mucus. I haven’t seen him eat anything he shouldn’t but his stomach must be upset. Can I give him pepto? How much? Boiled chicken and white rice? He is drinking water.

I don’t recommend pepto in dogs. It doesn’t seem to do much and some dogs are sensitive to the aspirin component. You can do boiled chicken and cooked white rice, toast without butter, apple sauce, and other bland white human foods. If he isn’t back to normal in a day or two, it would be best to have him checked out by a vet.
