jaegertheweim Posted January 1, 2008 Share Posted January 1, 2008 What does it mean when a dog's poop has a distinct green tinge? Both my dogs had it yesterday... and my younger one had it a few weeks back too. They are on the same brand food but different varieties. Apart from kibble, the only other foods they both eat are marrow bones (once a fortnight) and liver treats (2-3 pieces a day). They are otherwise healthy (and have normal brown poos) but I'm just a little curious as to what causes this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BC Posted January 1, 2008 Share Posted January 1, 2008 Could they be munching on a lot of grass ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaegertheweim Posted January 1, 2008 Author Share Posted January 1, 2008 hmm.. Jaeger eats grass sometimes but I've never seen Roma do it. I haven't seen then do it lately either (and they are always supervised when outdoors) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

espinay2 Posted January 2, 2008 Share Posted January 2, 2008 Liver, particularly the dried stuff, can sometimes turn poos a bit 'greenish'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaegertheweim Posted January 2, 2008 Author Share Posted January 2, 2008 that must be it because I was reading that excess iron in humans can cause green poops. will have to cut back then, thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VintageDiva Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 what are charcoal biscuits for? Charcoal biscuits are great for teeth (reducing tartar build-up etc) and also for helping with bad breath. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dog_Horse_Girl Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 Some processed dry foods use a particular colour and preservative combination (I can't recall which two/three products cause it) where the chemical reaction results in green-tinged poo... I've seen it a few times and it's a bit alarming! Try changing to a more fresh diet, perhaps? :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
