If your dog has white particles in their stool, it may be because they have consumed too much calcium or phosphorus, or they may have an intestinal disease. If you notice that your dog has white particles, it is best to take him to the veterinarian immediately for prompt diagnosis and treatment.

If your dog has white particles in his stool, it may be because he has eaten something that is not easy to digest, such as uncooked rice, bones, stone particles, etc. The dog cannot digest it, so he will excrete it directly. In addition, if the dog is accompanied by other abnormal symptoms, such as diarrhea, weight loss, vomiting, etc., it may be that the body is infected with parasites, and the white particles in the stool are parasite eggs. In this case, it is recommended that the owner take the dog to the pet hospital for examination first, and then target treatment after clarifying the specific cause.

1. Eating something that is not easy to digest

If the dog accidentally eats uncooked rice, bones, stone particles, etc., and cannot digest it in the intestines and stomach, then what it looks like when it is eaten will be what it looks like when it is excreted. At this time, the owner can pay attention to observation. As long as the dog does not show other abnormal symptoms, there is no need to worry, and the dog can be managed more regularly.

2. Parasitic infection

If you find that your dog has white particles in the stool and is accompanied by diarrhea, it may be that the body is infected with tapeworms, and the tapeworm has reached the adult stage, so the tapeworm segments will be excreted in the stool, which looks like rice grains. If it is suspected that the dog has tapeworm infection, the owner can take the dog to the pet hospital for a fecal examination, and deworming will be carried out after the diagnosis is confirmed.
