Educational guidance only. This is not a diagnosis. If symptoms persist or worsen, consult a veterinarian.

What you’re seeing (visual cues)

A frequency increase can look like smaller stools multiple times per day, urgency, or repeated trips outside. Texture may be normal or slightly softer. Short-term changes can follow diet changes, stress, or mild irritation, but repeated frequent stools can increase dehydration risk.

What to do at home (safe)

1️⃣ Count bowel movements per day and log time. 2️⃣ Take a photo of at least one stool sample for reference. 3️⃣ Keep meals consistent and ensure access to water. 4️⃣ Monitor for 24 hours if your dog is otherwise well; track if frequency returns to baseline.

What to avoid

Avoid adding many new supplements or treats. Avoid human anti-diarrheal medications unless directed by a vet. Avoid ignoring worsening urgency, watery stool, or repeated vomiting.

When to contact a vet (triggers)

Contact a veterinarian if: 🚨 Frequency is high and persists beyond 24–48 hours 🚨 Watery stool, repeated vomiting, weakness/lethargy 🚨 Dehydration signs 🚨 Black/tarry stool or large red amounts PetCheck helps you track patterns and share a clear summary with your vet.
