Schnauzer poop stuck

Question
My schnauzer always has poop stuck to his butt and I do not know how to avoid it?

Answer
Hi Febe,

Carefully trimming the hair surrounding your dog's anus will help prevent waste from getting caught in the area.

If your dog's bowel movements seem soft, changing his diet will help make firmer movements which would be less likely to get trapped in his hair.

The follow website has plenty of info regarding what to look for when selecting a dog food, so you could go about selecting the best dog food you can afford:

If you decide to switch your dog's food, do so gradually over a period of 5-7 days. Changing a dog's diet too quickly can cause stomach upset and diarrhea.

Best of luck,
Patti
