My dog has normal brown stools sometimes but he has gets light yellow/white poop with it and I read that it could mean he has live problems. He eat a lot if these white dental bones and I’m not sure if I should be concerned

These signs could be compatible with a colitis, which is an inflammation of the last part of the intestine, the colon, usually related to dietary indiscretion. As a first approach, I would suggest to start feeding with a bland diet based on boiled chicken and rice in small portion every 6 hours for the following 48hours. Then gradually reintroduce the normal diet over 5 days. I would definitely recommend a veterinary check up if the signs persist or you notice vomiting, lethargy or inappetence.
