After taking the mut out for his last walk tonight,was surprised the poo was white!! When I I was a kid in the 70 's I can remember white dog poo everywhere!! But should I take him the vets??

Awfull as it sounds quite fancy some arctic roll or butterscotch angel delight , strange how things can to take you back!

I`m quite good at talking poo..

White stools typically indicate high amounts of calcium in your dog's diet. White dog poop used to be more common a few decades ago, when dogs were fed people food and bones much more frequently. However, it's important to note that light-colored stools can indicate liver problems.

Also as a medicine..
Album graecum
White dog dung was formerly used as a medicinal drug, often mixed with honey, to cleanse and deterge, chiefly in inflammations of the throat. Externally, it was used as a plaster, spread on skin to close and heal wounds.

It humects, foments and mollifies the Muscles of the Throat, when inflam'd, swol'n up 'till almost crack'd, parch'd and scorch'd with Drought and Heat. It deterges the Glands and salivale Ducts, when outwardly smear'd over with Slime, and opens them when inwardly stuffed up with Phlegm.

Also furry dog poo. When I was a kid in the late 80s I found a hairy poo and I picked it up thinking it was a mouse, unfortunately it wasn't

Hairy poo? Not heard of that! lol. As kids (early eighties) we did make Poo Hedgehogs with used matchsticks, though...

My dogs are raw fed and their poo turns white and crumbly after a few hours. It is not white when they are poo-ing I think a trip to the vet is a good idea.

If your feeding your dog raw food, white pooh is an indication of too much bone in their diet. If you feed kibble it's probably one that's too high in calcium.
