Free Printable Dog Poop & Digestion Log
A dog poop and digestion log is a daily record of your dog's stool, its color, appetite, any vomiting, water intake and diet changes. It turns a vague worry into a clear timeline you can bring to your veterinarian. It doesn't diagnose anything; your vet decides what the changes mean.
Fill in one row a day, in your own words. Three weeks of rows fit on two pages, ready to hand to your vet.

Frequently asked questions
- Why keep a log of my dog's poop?
- Digestive changes are easy to forget or blur together. A daily record of stool, appetite, vomiting, water and diet changes gives your vet a clear timeline instead of a guess.
- How do I describe my dog's stool?
- Use plain words that make sense to you, such as firm, soft, mushy or watery, and note the color and anything unusual you see. Your vet can ask follow-up questions from there.
- When should I call the vet about my dog's poop?
- Call your vet if your dog seems unwell or in pain, vomiting or diarrhea keeps coming back, your dog won't eat or drink, you see blood, or a young puppy, senior or dog with a health condition shows any change. When in doubt, call.
- Can this log tell me what's wrong with my dog?
- No. It's a record, not a diagnosis. Your vet decides what the changes mean and what to do about them.
- Should I log diet changes and treats?
- Yes. New foods, treats, chews and table scraps are some of the first things a vet asks about, so the log has a column for them.
- Is the dog poop log free and fillable?
- Yes. It's a free fillable PDF with no email or account required. You can also fill it out online and print it, and nothing you type is stored on our servers.
