What does unhealthy dog poop look like?

When should I be concerned about my dogs stool?
For instance, watery stools may indicate an intestinal problem, while small pellet-like poops can mean your dog is dehydrated. More serious issues that warrant a veterinary visit include mucus (possible inflamed colon), blood, white bits (may be tapeworm), or black, coffee-like stool (possible internal bleeding.)
What your dog's poop tells you?
Soft, Loose Stool If your dog's poop seems soft and loose, it may just be an indication of a change in diet, or it may mean your dog has been eating things they shouldn't be eating. If you've changed your dog's diet recently, monitor changes in poop. You may have to alter the diet if it doesn't improve.
How soft should dog poop?
The fecal scoring system assigns a value to the stool from 1 to 7, where 1 represents very hard pellets and 7 is a puddle. The ideal stool is a 2: a firm, segmented stool that's shaped like a caterpillar and feels like Play-Doh when pressed and holds its form.
