Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! This could be just something transient and not of concern. However, if this continues and most importantly becomes diarrhea, have your pup evaluated by a veterinarian for further assessment and treatment as it could be something like parasites for example. Best of luck!
