my dog's been having yellow poop lately, and I'm not sure if it's something to worry about. She seems fine otherwise. Has anyone else experienced this or can tell me what might be causing it?

Hey there! 😊 I totally get why you're concerned about your dog's yellow poop, so let's talk about it—no need to panic just yet. Yellow stool in dogs can sometimes indicate a change in diet, or it might be due to a minor tummy upset. However, it's great that your pup seems happy and healthy otherwise.

Here's what to keep an eye on:

• If the poop is unusually watery or foul-smelling.
• Any changes in her eating or drinking habits.
• Signs of lethargy or if she's acting differently than usual.
• Presence of blood or mucus in the stool.

If she starts showing any of these symptoms, or if the yellow stool persists for more than a couple of days, it's a good idea to call your vet. Keep an eye out for any vomiting or diarrhea, as these could be signs that it’s something more than a dietary issue.

In terms of an emergency, if your dog's gums are pale, she's vomiting uncontrollably, or seems to be in pain, call your vet immediately or go to an emergency clinic.

At home, ensure she's staying hydrated and keep her diet consistent. Avoid giving foods that might upset her stomach, like fatty treats or table scraps. If you suspect she might have eaten something she shouldn't (like chocolate or grapes), keep a close eye on her and call your vet—certain human foods can be toxic to dogs even in small amounts.

So, take a deep breath and monitor her for a bit. 😀
