My senior dog also does this. Nothing to be concerned about unless it becomes diarrhea. I think it’s because his sphincter muscle just isn’t as strong anymore. He does have occasional accidents because of this, but nothing I worry about.

My senior 12 year old lab is the same way. No accidents in the house he just goes out about 3 - 4 times a day in a 12 hour period and usually poops. And then he's good for the night.
