In general, he says you’ll want to be aware of three things: the poop’s size, shape and consistency.
“Basically, you want the size to be consistent with the amount of food your pet is eating,” Zanghi says. As for shape and consistency, Zanghi says they go hand in hand. “Too hard can indicate constipation, but you don’t want it to be so soft that it’s unformed,” he says. “Essentially, the perfect poop is when it’s formed and it cleans up without any mess. When you see that day in and day out, that’s when you know your pet is in good health.”Another reason you’ll want to scope out your cat or dog’s poop is to look for any changes that might come up.
