How Fibre Helps Sloppy Poos

Why Your Dog Has Sloppy Poos — And How Fibre Fixes It

If you've ever been mid-walk, bag in hand, only to realise it's going to be one of those ones — you're not alone. Soft, inconsistent stools are one of the most common complaints from dog owners. And most just accept it as normal.

It's not.

Why do dogs get sloppy poos?

There are a few common causes. Diet is usually the biggest one. Most commercial dry dog food — even the premium stuff — is lower in dietary fibre than a dog's digestive system actually needs. Manufacturers focus on protein and fat content, leaving fibre as an afterthought.

When a dog doesn't get enough fibre, the digestive tract can't regulate water absorption properly. The result is stools that are too soft, too inconsistent, or genuinely impossible to pick up cleanly.

Other contributing factors include stress, food transitions, gut bacteria imbalances and a lack of prebiotics in the diet.

What does fibre actually do?

Soluble fibre — like psyllium husk — absorbs excess water in the gut and bulks up the stool. Think of it as a sponge that soaks up what shouldn't be there and creates a firmer, more consistent result.

It also feeds the beneficial bacteria in your dog's gut, supports regular bowel movements and helps with anal gland expression — meaning fewer vet visits for that particular problem.

The difference a small daily dose makes is often noticeable within a week.

How Logs helps

Logs is a daily fibre supplement made from six natural ingredients — psyllium husk, pumpkin powder, sardine powder, ground flaxseed, beef liver and probiotic. One scoop sprinkled on your dog's food once a day.

That's it.

We built it because our greyhound Honey had soft, unpredictable stools for two years. We tried food changes, different routines, everything. Nothing worked consistently.

Once we started supplementing with the right combination of fibre and probiotic, the difference was clear within days. Better stools. Better walks. A genuinely more enjoyable part of owning a dog.

The walk should be the best part of your day

It sounds like a small thing. But if you've been dealing with this — you know it's not small at all. It affects every walk, every outing, every trip to the dog park.

Fibre is the most underrated thing you can add to your dog's diet. And it's one of the cheapest.

If your dog has soft or inconsistent stools, try one scoop of Logs on their food for two weeks. We think you'll notice the difference.

Good dogs deserve good Logs.
