It was that Frontline stuff.

Maybe I missed someone mention it, but someone on another forum mentioned that they have their dog on a raw food diet and they have noticed that their dogs feces basically decays without needing to pick it up. He showed a pic of it looking like it was chalk. Thought it was pretty interesting

Anyone do more research on it on health affects?

I don't know anything about it being caused by dog food but cancer is not uncommon for dogs.

Isn't that what happens to all dog shit when left in the sun? Or are you saying it happens instantly?

He mentioned that when his dog was on store bought food it was much more watery.

Likely over feeding. Now that he's got more money and effort going into food prep he's feeding the dog less.

Feed them too much they get the runs, feed too little they don't poop as much. Feed them good food and the right quantity you'll likely see them poop at least once for every meal and it'll be the right consistency and small quantity. I don't pick up after my dog and the yard isn't covered in poop. Disintegrates within a week or so.

Agreed. My dogs are smaller but there are 2 of them that get fed 1x / day. I don't pick up when they go in the yard and within a few days of sun (and sometimes rain or sprinklers) it's gone.
