Dog's runny poo

My dog poos about 5 or 6 times a day, which I think is a lot. Her first poo is usually quite firm, but then after that it's really yellow and runny and sometimes even diahorrea. This has been going on for a while and I don't think it's normal. I've booked an appointment with the vet, but just wondering what other dog owners think. Apart from that she's healthy, extremely energetic and seems absolutely fine. Thank you.

Strewth- I was just having cereal for breakfast ….

Our dogs are walked 4 times a day, generally they poo 3 times. When they get runny poo, we cook, feed them rice and lamb.

Has your dog been reading Spare?.

Sorry if this has already been suggested but have you tried probiotics?

Another thought. Do you exercise her soon after she’s been fed? I have to be careful with mine because she’s so fast when she dies zoomies so I have to make sure she’s digested her breakfast.

Chardy, I think it was Hill's Prescription Diet my GSD got and it was completely successful.

including the starchy rice water

I didn’t know this until recently, the starchy water is very important

I was told years ago that no dogs are allergic to lamb although they might be allergic to other things. I’d forgotten that. It was when I used to feed them Eukanuba.

My dog loves the lamb version of Natures variety. It's 80% meat and 20% veg. We don't feed her carbs.
