• The color of my new puppy's bowel movement looks tan instead of brown like my other dog. Is that a problem?

    Congratulations on your new pet.  It is always best when you have a new pet to have him/her examined by a veterinarian to ensure he/she is in good health.  It sounds like you have a concern, which even further validates a visit to your veterinarian. 

    Feces color depends on what the pet is eating and the health they are exhibiting.  I recommend seeing a veterinarian to be certain he/she is healthy.
