Runny stool while on walks, but firm at home?

| Seems relatively normal to me. Perhaps the stress of being on a walk is affecting him. Maggie always goes more often when she is active and the activity/frequency generally result in looser stools over time. Being short-haired and a deep squatter, it doesn't make a mess on her, so that is lucky. Maybe instead of cutting his walks short, you could bring along some baby wipes to clean his bum and keep going. |
| He is probably a bit anxious when he's walking due to the fact of smelling other dogs...etc
Pepsi always has firm poops....except if we go to the dog park, then it is always runny. I think it's nerves and the smells of other dogs. |
| Edgar does excited poo (which is soft or runny) on walks and any outings. Otherwise he is fine. Its a bit irritating trying to scrap up runny messes but it is just him. I wouldn't worry about it. |
Sounds normal, brie was like that as a youngster, the over excitement at being out and about. 
Vals suggestion of baby wipes on a walk is a good one  |
Yup......What I pick up in the back yard is always formed and firm...What I pick up in the dog park or on walks...well....is not.....  |
I say it sounds like a nervous/stress/excited thing too. My puppy has the same problem...but not n walks...only during puppy class!  He runs around with the other puppies, then we start class and within a few minutes, well...embarassing  But nw that we've been attending school a few weeks, it has finally stopped... |
| My little darling always poops so much when we are on walks, that it starts to run, i have had him for 2.1/2 years he is 6 now and it has never changed, we just got use to it, and bring the baby wipes with us at all times |
| Simon the basset is always that way. When we are at shows or on trips, or at the dog park his poop gets progressively more runny/mucousy. Those of you at Sheepiepalooza will get to witness it personally! He even gets to the point of squatting, with nothing coming out - I call it the "dry heaves of poop". |
| My first ever OES , Frank & Haggis are all the same way. I think they just get/got so excited when they go for a walk it effects their gastro tracks. (((I always have paper towels & baby wipes handy too.... ))) |
