Fruits and vegetables provide a variety of benefits to dogs, however, they&#8217;re also rich in dietary fibers which dogs and mammals alike cannot digest.<\/b><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_is_my_dog_not_digesting_his_food\"><\/span>Why is my dog not digesting his food?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>In this case, it&#8217;s time to call the vet. <b>Disease, infection, parasites, foreign body ingestion, poisoning, food allergies, and much more could be to blame.

These can cause digestive upset and even change the color of your dog&#8217;s stool, most commonly to <b>an orange or yellow color. It&#8217;s also crucial to prevent your dog from rummaging through the trash, eating plants, or getting a hold of other household products or chemicals.<\/b><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_does_parvovirus_poop_look_like\"><\/span>What does parvovirus poop look like?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The appearance of parvo poop can range from dog to dog, but there are a few characteristics to watch for.

Intestinal malabsorption occurs because of an underlying disorder within the small bowel or the pancreas.
