Baby carrots are one of Bode's favorite treats. We didn't have them for awhile just due to lack of grocery shopping. We started giving them again recently and now his poop has a definite orange tint to it. Before, you would just kind of see little carrot pieces in his stools, not like this. Does anyone else notice this?

We are trying to get some health stuff figured out, so I'm wondering if this is carrot related or related to whatever is going on with him. I'm going to mention it to the vet either way when I call her today with an update on him.

Yep, I've fed Saber raw baby carrots and his poop had the same orange tint you're describing.

We ran out of baby carrots too and the poops are a much darker brown and even firmer. We bought more but I'm not going to give her as many as I used to give.

We give all our dogs carrots...not too many but maybe 2-3 every other or third day. Too many are not suppose to be good but I do not remember why or what is too many. Sorry.
We do see carrot bit but not orange tint. They act as if I am feeding raw steak they huddle around and beg (plus they are so obiedient when the carrot is in hand!)
Good luck on figuring out Bode's health issues.

I have only one dog that will eat carrots in fact she would probably eat a entire meal of vegies.
Sorry I got away from your question, when she eats alot of carrots I do see a orange color in her poop not really parts of the carrots but it is orange color where my other pups is more brown.

Thanks for all the input!

The only reason why carrots should be limited is their sugar count, but when you factor in how much is actually digested and processed in raw carrots (because they're difficult to break down- as you see from the pieces in their feces) it's not too bad at all.

Whew, thank goodness because I give mine 2-3 baby carrots a day!

Same whew here I was limiting to the not ever day with 2-3 mini but looks like I can move it up to an everyday! Yeah they will love me!
