💩🐾 The Scoop on Poop: What Your Dog’s Doo Can Tell You About Their Health 🐾💩

Let’s face it: dealing with your dog’s poop isn’t exactly the most glamorous part of pet ownership. But here's the thing, dog moms and dads: your pup’s poop is a 💡 little brown treasure trove of health clues! While your dog might not be able to tell you how they’re feeling with words, their business does all the talking. Ready to dive into the world of poo and paws? 🐾✨ Let’s dig in! 🥄 (Not literally, of course...).

🐶💩 Why Pay Attention to Your Pup's Poop?

Just like us humans, a dog’s digestive system reflects their overall health. By being a poop detective 🕵️‍♀️, you can catch early signs of illnesses, allergies, or dietary imbalances before they become major problems.

So, grab your poop bags, put on your detective hats 🎩, and let’s decode the doodoo mysteries.

🚦 The 4 C’s of Poop Patrol

✅ Color: Healthy dog poop is usually chocolate-brown 🍫. But other colors can signal different issues:

🟢 Green poop? Could mean your dog ate grass or has a gallbladder issue.

⚫ Black or tarry stool? This may indicate internal bleeding. Call your vet! 📞

🔴 Red streaks? Blood in poop can be a sign of anal gland issues or something more serious.

⚪ White or chalky poop? Often caused by a diet too high in calcium or bone.

✅ Consistency:

💩 Healthy poop: Firm but pliable, like Play-Doh 🎨.

🍦 Soft serve: Could point to stress, diet changes, or intestinal upset.

🌊 Liquid diarrhea: A red flag 🚩 for infections, parasites, or food intolerances.

🪨 Hard pellets: Indicates dehydration 💧 or insufficient fiber.

✅ Coating: A healthy poop shouldn’t leave much residue. If it’s covered in mucus, it could signal inflammation in the colon 🏥.

✅ Contents:

Undigested food? Their diet might need tweaking.

Fur? Could be due to overgrooming caused by stress or allergies.

Worms or eggs? Eww 🪱—time for deworming meds!

🍽️ Diet and Poop: Best Friends or Worst Enemies?

What goes in must come out! 🚪 Your dog's diet plays a HUGE role in their poop health. Here’s how you can keep things moving smoothly:

🥩 Protein Power: High-quality proteins lead to firmer, healthier stools.

🥕 Fruits & Veggies: Fiber helps regulate bowel movements. Think pumpkin 🎃 for constipation or diarrhea—it’s magic!

🚫 Avoid Table Scraps: Your pup may give you the puppy eyes 🥺, but too many human foods can lead to upset tummies and funky poops.

🐾 When to See the Vet

While an occasional funky poop isn’t a cause for panic 🧘‍♀️, some situations demand immediate attention:

Persistent diarrhea lasting more than 48 hours 🌧️.

Vomiting 🤮 paired with abnormal poop.

Significant changes in appetite or behavior.

Blood, mucus, or worms in stool.

📅 Pro Tips for Poop Monitoring

💩 Keep a Poop Journal: Track your dog’s bathroom habits 📝. If anything unusual pops up, you’ll have helpful info for your vet.

🌿 Keep Your Yard Clean: Removing poop daily reduces the risk of parasites and bacteria spreading in your yard 🌱. Plus, no one likes stepping in a squishy surprise! 👟.

📸 Don’t Be Shy About Photos: We know, it’s weird 🤳💩. But a quick pic of unusual poop can help your vet diagnose issues faster!

🐕💖 Your Dog’s Health Is in Your Hands

Being a pet parent means taking the good with the gross 🙃. By keeping an eye on what your dog leaves behind, you’re not just cleaning up—you’re ensuring their health and happiness 🐾💕.

So next time you’re scooping the poop, take a second to observe. Your furry friend may not say "thank you" (or they might, with a big sloppy kiss 😘), but their wagging tail 🐕 will let you know you’re doing a pawsome job.

News from Newfoundland & Labrador, Canada, 18 July.

A 64-year-old man from St. John's was killed in a two-vehicle crash involving an SUV and a motorhome in the Goulds area of St. John's.

The driver of the motorhome, a 58-year-old woman, was seriously injured and taken to the hospital.

The police are urging anyone with dash cam footage of the area prior to the crash to come forward to assist in the ongoing investigation.

2. A 77-year-old man died in a single-vehicle motorcycle crash on the TCH near Soldier's Pond.

The driver was the only person involved in the accident and was pronounced dead at the scene.

The investigation is ongoing, and the office of the chief Medical Examiner has been notified.

3. A driver is without their motorcycle after being caught traveling nearly twice the speed limit. RNC clocked the machine going 173 km/h in a 90 km/h zone on Robert E Howlett Memorial Drive. The driver was ticketed and the motorcycle seized.

4. A man has been arrested after an unusual incident in downtown St. John's last night. A drunken man jumped into the back seat of a passing convertible. RNC located the vehicle charged the 24 year old with causing a disturbance, resisting arrest, assaulting a peace officer, breach of court orders and breach of probation. The man was released with a future court date [per VOCM].

5. Holy Trinity High in Torbay has suffered significant damage from vandalism, including broken windows and graffiti.

The estimated cost of the damage is around $10,000, which the English School District will cover for necessary repairs before the school year starts.

The Royal Newfoundland Constabulary (RNC) is currently investigating the incident and will be monitoring the area to prevent future vandalism.

6. Politicians are expressing concerns about the limited availability of water bombers in Newfoundland and Labrador, leaving the province vulnerable to wildfires.

The shortage of aircraft and crews is exacerbated by the high volume of wildfires outside the province, making it unlikely for other provinces to provide assistance.

The union which represents forestry firefighters, says the province would not have the capacity to properly respond to a situation which developed in central Newfoundland last year. NAPE president Jerry Earle says only one water bomber was available on the weekend, but government waited too long to address concerns raised by the union about a shortage of aircraft pilots and ground crews. He says recruitment and retention of the water bomber fleet should have been put to bed before the fire season not during [per VOCM].

The government should consider increasing compensation for pilots and adopting more flexible policies regarding their time off.

7. Earlier this month, a dog in Quebec was rescued after being left outside in a crate for 48 hours during a heat wave.

Now, a local veterinarian in St John's wants to make sure that people are going about things the right way.

For some dog owners, the first instinct may be to pour icy cold water on their dogs or lay a really cold towel across them. However, veterinarian Maggie Brown Berry warns against this and says that it may do more harm than good.

She explains that dogs don't cool themselves down like humans. They cool down by panting. They also have sweat glands on their paws. The problem is when people suggest sort of going for freezing cold or ice being applied to the the dogs that they think are overheating is that actually causes the small skin vessels on the surface to shrink and move the heat more internally. So they might feel cooler on the surface, but internally there's still overheating. So it kind of can definitely make the situation worse. It also can be bad to bring their body temperature down too quickly. [Per VOCM].

Dog Muscle, Health , And Exercise Pure Facts Straight To The Point

Written by: Rupert Thornne

In this manual, we are going to reveal effective methods to help improve your dog's overall health, functional muscle mass, definition and muscle hardness through the use of effective exercises, diet and supplementation. Ever see some dogs so muscular that you wonder how they achieved that level of functional muscularity, not to mention all of the major health benefits that come with the increase in functional muscle mass. Some believe it’s the genetics of the dog and that’s it. Well, that’s only a part of the puzzle 40 percent is genetics 30 percent is exercise and the other 30 percent is diet = quality dog food/ and nutritional supplements- which are basically concentrated nutrients from food sources). I have personally seen many dogs that were considered genetically average workout eat good and take the right supplements look better than dogs that are considered genetically superior. Another thing you have to ask yourself is do you care about getting your dog healthier by working him out or do you want to trade in your dog for a genetically superior dog if your goal is to make your dog more muscular. Well, I would never trade in my dog for a better-looking dog I would just help build my dog up period. There were many times at dog shows I was told that I would be better off getting another dog that looked bigger with more muscle mass genetically than to waste my time building my dog up. Well to the people who told me that they obviously didn’t know what they were talking about. You don’t have to buy a better looking dog you just have to build up your own dog. And I also feel that many people would agree with me. A excellent example of this is Gorillaman now 7yrs old and looks a lot better now than he did when he was in his prime. How did that happen is what a lot of people wonder. What happened is he started working out with tire-pull 2 to 4x per week for 15mins each time along with putting him on buffk9’s true champion dog 2.0 supplement with a little bit of yogurt(to mix true champ 2.0 so it tastes better) along with quality kibble. The reason I'm writing this manual is that there is too much non-effective information out there when it comes to building muscle mass on your dog and the most important thing any dog owner can do is maintain proper health on their dog through exercise and nutritional supplements. 

In this manual, we will show exactly how to do that using only the most effective methods available. These are also the same methods used to help Gorillamans transformation. The do’s the don’ts and common myths that hold people back from getting their dogs results. One very important thing to keep in mind is that results will vary on every dog (depending on age breed diet, supplement program, exercise program and genetics all combined. With each of these being a key factor but one thing is for sure they will all get results.

Gorillaman has a champion pedigree but was never able to achieve a truly impressive build until he started taking true champ 2.0 and working out at the same time. He has always worked out with basic running workouts and light sled pull but for some reason never looked like this. It goes to show how important quality supplements are in transforming the look of a dog along with performance and overall health.

The importance of quality supplements that work

Many top-level competitors and champion show dogs have already been using quality supplements to build muscle mass, but keep one thing in mind many of the owners of these dogs will NOT tell you about their hidden secrets unless they really like you or don’t mind the increase in competition they will have from your dog or someone else’s dog looking as good as their dog. Remember many of these people are breeders and don’t want anyone to think supplements made their dog look the way they look. They want you to think it’s only all their breeding responsible for their dogs muscular look. Quality breeders will tell you what they use to help their dogs build muscle and overall health because they know that supplements are basically nutrients that fuel genetics and that’s it. Many will deny giving anything to their dog that gives them the edge over the competition. The good thing is that there are also a few that will tell you what their dog is using because they like to see peoples dogs succeed and also realize that there are other factors to having the winning recipe beside just supplements. There is also the important factor of exercise and adding a quality dog food nothing overpriced. But many people who love their dogs already feed quality kibble. The only real factors left to do are add quality supplements that work and an exercise regimen to the dog's program to really get to the next level of functional muscle mass and overall health. 

BUffk9’s true champ 2.0 was designed for all breeds of dogs over the age of 3 months to increase and support lean functional muscle mass performance and most importantly overall health. It’s a 100 percent all natural safe herbal formula that is designed to be used daily as a long term supplement. When some people look at the ingredients they wonder how this stuff works so well when it doesn’t contain any protein carbs fat or calories. The reason behind this is simple true champ 2.0 works through several different mechanisms that are really effective other than the usual protein fat and carbs to pack on muscle. Basically, it works by:

- enhancing nutrient uptake into the body

-reducing inflammation in muscles

-increasing oxygen in muscles

-reducing stress hormone

-reducing recovery time 

-enhancing nitrogen retention in muscle

-protects lean muscle tissue from atrophy

-boosts overall immune health

All these factors really add up to produce an effective environment in the body naturally anabolic to produce functional muscle growth, boost performance and overall health. True champ 2.0 was tested by buffk9 for a very long time before it was released because this company actually cares about the safety and effectiveness of their products to get their customers results naturally. One thing I will say is that since buffk9 doesn’t use any artificial additives the product doesn’t taste very good unless you put it in yogurt to ensure your dog eats it. It’s important to give it with food only to avoid mild upset stomach. Other than that the stuff is incredible. This product is also great for older dogs to prevent muscular atrophy and to enhance immune function. 

 Common MYTHS about muscle building supplements for dogs

I have heard that supplements are not natural and dangerous for dogs. Well, it really depends on the company making the supplements and what quality checks take place. Buffk9 has all their products made here in the USA with the highest safety checks such as 

- Made in an FDA registered facility

- Gmp approved 

- Human grade ingredients only

The biggest myth 

This is the biggest myth that prevents some people from giving buffk9 true champ 2.0 a try, some think that after their dog stops use that they will lose gains. This simply is not the case if anything 90 percent of the gains stays after discontinuing use because true champ 2.0 works with the body to naturally build muscle and restore homeostasis in the body so all gains are real and there to stay.

The importance of exercise and How much exercise does a dog need every day 

There is one thing all dogs need and that is love other than that how much exercise a dog needs every day depends on the breed, energy level and personality of the dog. But in general terms 20min walk 2 or 3 times a week is more than enough. Some dogs such as working line dogs with a lot of prey drive will need more than that for them 40mins of walking would be enough 2 times a week. It's really important for working breeds to be able to release their excess energy to prevent them from getting stressed out. So there it is how much exercise a dog needs every day in the simplest terms. In the next section, I will talk about the most effective workout for your dog.

The most effective exercise to perform for functional muscle mass and overall health

Is tire-pull or sled pull.

Tire pull and sled-pull is super effective workouts that really stimulate the dog's body very effectively for muscle growth and performance. Many search and rescue dogs and military dogs have also tried it with awesome results. It helps build muscle mass, definition, boost agility and flexibility at the same time. The best part about tire-pull and sled-pull is that it's easy to use and the gains stay even after discounting the workouts. This equipment helps build strong large muscles and performance but the best part is it really helps relieve pent up stress in your dog especially for power breeds such as Pitbull's, Rottweiler’s, Presa Canarios, American bulldogs, Bandogs , German shepherds and malinois. 

When you have a working line dog of any of these breeds or similar breeds walking them is usually not enough they require more of a rigorous physical workout to properly balance pent up energy. Don’t perform any exercise too long that your dog gets bored of it so 5 to 20 mins is usually the cut-off point. 

Dog Weight Vest

This is a good method of workout for your dog it’s easy to use and gets the job done. Just don’t go heavy with this because it's not necessary at all lightweight gets the job done and doesn’t stress your dog’s joints. This exercise helps to get rid of pent up energy as well. The dog weight vest is also one of my preferred choices of workout equipment for dogs.

The Importance of the pump 

It’s really important to see a visible pump after you have completed a workout in your dog to build muscle effectively. The pump is a gauge to really tell if the workout was effective or not. Keep one thing in mind exercise stimulates the pump but it’s the quality of dog food and supplements that helps keep the pump long term( buffk9’s true champ 2.0) Both the workout and supplements are important for results if one is missing then results won’t be as great.

I wrote this article not just to promote buffk9’s muscle building line because my dog is the son of Gorillaman (official buffk9 athlete)and takes the supplements with great results, but to really get the word out there about how to really improve your dog’s health and muscle gains. I was extremely inspired by Gorillaman this dog is a true legend by far in the Rottweiler world and his muscularity is unmatched even with many breeds that are known to be muscular. If anyone has seen a more muscular Rottweiler please let me know. Good luck guys with all tips shared here and rest assured your dog will get serious results following these tips.
