How to Read Your Dog’s Poop Like a Pro
Your dog’s gut is the center of their wellness — from digestion and immunity to skin comfort and even mood. At Myco Pet, we believe one of the easiest ways to understand what’s happening inside is by paying attention to something you see every day: their stool. Learn what healthy poop should look like, what changes may be telling you, and how simple, natural support can help the whole body thrive from the inside out. 💙
A Myco Pet Guide to Understanding Gut Health
At Myco Pet, we believe real wellness starts in the gut — because digestion, immunity, skin comfort, and mood all connect back to the microbiome. And one of the simplest ways to check in on your dog’s internal health is something you see every day:
Their poop.
Stool is feedback — not just output.
What Healthy Stool Should Look Like
A balanced gut typically produces stool that is:
-
Log-shaped
- Moist, not sticky
- Medium brown
-
Easy to pick up
This indicates good nutrient absorption and microbial balance.
What Stool Changes May Be Telling You

Many pet parents uses Gut & Immunity+ during stool changes because it helps restore digestion and immune balance from the inside out.
