My dog has green, loose poop. He's acting normal. Should I worry?

Pet's info: Dog | Goldendoodle | Male | neutered | 1 year old | 25 lbs

My dogs been having an earthy green colored stool the couple days. It’s not diarrhea but it’s a little loose and wet - he is acting normal and eating his food and treats so is this concerning? I don’t think he ate anything green

Without a photo it's hard to give specific advice, but green stools can be due to a number of things including internal parasites, eating something weird, and sometimes issues with organ function or digestive function (IE food allergies, pancreas or liver issues, etc). If this has only happened once, I would continue to monitor Iggy, however if he continues to have discolored or loose stools, bringing Iggy and a stool sample to your vet to check for parasites, etc, is best to rule out any more serious issues.
