Did you know that monitoring your pet’s poop can tell you a lot about their digestive health? Check your cat or dog’s digestive health with our Poop Points scale: πŸ’© 𝟏-𝟐 𝐏𝐨𝐒𝐧𝐭𝐬 A low score means your pet's digestive health may not be at its best. They may be constipated or just slightly dehydrated. Try introducing some wet food into your pet’s diet to increase their water intake. As constipation can also be a symptom of other health issues, it’s recommended that you see a vet for a professional diagnosis if your pet is regularly experiencing constipation. πŸ’© πŸ‘ 𝐏𝐨𝐒𝐧𝐭𝐬 The perfect poo! A middle score on the Poop Points scale means your pet’s digestive health is pretty normal. πŸ’© πŸ’-πŸ• 𝐏𝐨𝐒𝐧𝐭𝐬 A higher score on the scale means your pet may have diarrhoea, which could be a sign that you changed their diet too suddenly or is caused by an underlying digestive health issue. If the diarrhoea lasts for more than a day or proceeds to worsen, then you should take them for a vet checkup immediately. Overall, eating a healthy diet will help your pet produce healthy waste that makes cleaning up after them easier and as pleasant as this task can be! If you think your pet may have a digestive health problem, book an appointment at your local Animates Vetcare clinic.
