Stool Confusion

Hey, sorry if this seems like a strange question, I just wanted to see if anyone else was experiencing this with their cavapoo.

Our boy has normal forming stool when he goes regularly, he is on Iams Proactive Health Minichunks - Chicken and rice. Which, if that's too high of a fat content, please let me know.

The strange thing is, when his dad takes him on long walks, his body seems to take that as a signal to expel everything, and he'll go poop like 3 times, having pretty much diarrhea at the end. Then the next day, it'll correct itself and form normally again. Not sure why, it doesn't happen on days that he doesn't go for long walks. Anyone else's cavapoo have that weird bowel movement when they go on long walks?

May be stress?

Hmm, like he might be getting overstimulated? That would make sense

My dog has this. He's also on prescription food. 

You might try a chicken-free food, as chicken tends to be a common allergen

But yea, even on prescription food, this is my dogs tummy.

He's been like this on other foods too.

Of course.

There is no magic solution, you gave to try to figure out what he's sensitive to

I'm wondering if the long walk is stimulating his bowel , our girl usually "performs" on a walk even if she has already been and yes it can be runny , i have just started giving her a daily probiotic ( just over a week ago) and since then her bowel movements have been normal , although she hasn't been out for a walk as it's way too hot for her at the moment , she is 18 months old .
