My dog bleeds after long walks, but seems fine. Should I worry?

He has red tinged blood after very long walks but doesn't seem like he is in pain. Goes away after a day.

Hello, I'm not sure where the blood is coming from but in general, blood of any type is concerning because it means there is a problem with injury, inflammation or the skin/mucus membranes. You may try reposting on here with more details or I recommend to have Zeus examined by the veterinarian. I hope this helps.
