Poop is part of a pet parent’s life. Yep, we admit it: dog poop factors into our everyday conversations. We inspect it when we pick it up (even if we don’t really want to.) We ask our dog walker: did she go for you? We’re well-aware if something seems a little off about it, too.

In other words, dog people know that poop matters!

After all, our dogs’ poop says a lot about them. Texture, color, and frequency all offer important clues about a pet’s health.

Do you know what your dog’s poop should look like, though?

If you’ve ever wondered what counts as normal, and what might be cause for concern, never fear. We’ve got your answers. Check out this handy illustrated guide to dog poop and you’ll know everything you need to know. Plus a little more.
