There is a number of reasons why dogs may develop loose stools.

1. Dietary indiscretion: Excessive eating, eating garbage, or spoiled food (In a veterinary circle it is also known as “garbage toxicosis” or “garbage gut.”
2. Change in diet: generally, a dog’s digestive system takes a few days to adapt to new proteins. Therefore, one should go slow when you switch from one brand of food to another.
3. Food intolerance
4. Allergies
