When your dog’s gut microbiome is out of balance common digestive symptoms like diarrhea or loose stool occur.
Your dog’s poop should be somewhat firm in consistency and have a distinct shape. Diarrhea can refer to a range of consistencies, from moist but distinct piles of poop to shapeless blobs to watery puddles. Frequent diarrhea is often a sign of a digestive issue caused by a problem with your dog’s gut microbiome not functioning properly.
So what is the gut microbiome? It’s the community of bacteria, fungi, and other microbes that live in your dog’s digestive tract and is essential for health.
