She eats annamaet option with freeze dried beef lung, and chicken jerky added tk her bowl but only for breakfast (she gets just kibble at night). Her diet has not changed in a very long time. Her activity level is the same. (We used to live in a house with a huge backyard and we would do a lot of outside play together so she was always exercised, now we have to do walks either every day or every other day weather permitting).

It's just so odd. I don't understand why it's only on walks. I've started bringing a water bottle on walks so I can rinse the grass out a bit because how can I pick up diarrhea? Just tonight I made sure she went potty before we left for our walk and it was a solid poo. But sure enough on the way home she had diarrhea.

She's due for her yearly checkup in April so I'll ask my vet then as well but wanted some sooner insight. Pic of the weirdo for tax.

It's excitement, one of our does it too. It's bad! She'll be running along with it shooting out. it's a nightmare to clean up when you're out as well. Next poo after we get home will be normal. It's so strange!

Excitement… mine always did this after getting to the dog park to see his friends. It’s his favorite place in the world.

Excitement or stress. I had a shepherd that did this anytime we went to beach and only the beach.

He is just Excited and when your Excited your adrenaline goes and everything goes through you unless your Dog is doing Cocaine….that could be the other reason but I am guessing it’s a NO….Btw I was just kidding I hope that just made you laugh…
