Hello Bulldog Friends - Ever since Tater was a puppy, whenever we take him to new places, he almost always gets loose stool or diarrhea. I remember the first time we took him into Lowes when he was a young pup he walked around fine for a bit and then all of a sudden pooped in the middle of the isle - very embarrassing but I thought it was just a puppy accident. But then the more places I took him to - say friend's houses or visiting a new park, I noticed he would always poop pretty quickly or get diarrhea. And I basically learned the hard way he can't go into any stores or shops (even though many are dog friendly around me) or he may have an accident. If I just keep him home or take him to work, both of which he's very familiar with, he has normal poos and no accidents so I also don't think the car/driving is upsetting his belly/intestines. It only seems to be when I take him to less familiar places or if he goes on a long walk he'll poop like 3 times, the last of which is almost impossible to actually bag up ����. Other factor- he's friendly with people and likes to be petted and interact before and after his "emergency poops" so I don't necessarily think he hates being in new places - for example, it's not like I'm dragging him to places or that he looks fearful and miserable (where I might imagine a dog might have severe anxiety and loose their bowels like a panic attack). You might say, "why don't you keep him at home then?" but he really seems like to go places and people love him and always want him to come over & he needs activity to be better behaved (or he gets bossy/ antsy) so I'd like to figure out a way to bring him places and not have him get the runs every time! Thanks!! Mr.Potato Pants would give you a hug for reading if he could........
