Yes, this can be an odd post for many people, but it is necessary. To the left is a red meat poop. This can also be what an offal stool looks. Dark stools are very normal. Also, this is also what a normal stool for a 54lb Australian Shepherd. He poops about twice a day, that is all. Yes, on one end there is some high bone content stool, but this is for the most part a very normal stool.

You can obviously see where those three contents show in this stool. 
This is a stool with too much bone. You can easily see how much lighter a crumbly it is. After a stool like this, I would add more muscle meat to the next meal. These kinds of stools are not bad for the dog. Just keep an eye on your dog's stools and adjust the next meals. These stools can also be much lighter in color and a grayish white.
I used to be obsessed with my dog's poops. After five years of feeding raw it has definitely changed. I have never seen stools cause a problem with my dogs. I have never had problems with constipation.
Yes, loose stools happen and yes, bone stools happen, but it is a big part of feeding raw. It is not worth freaking out over. If you are new to raw feeding, take everything in strides. I understand it is scary, but it is not. Everything will be ok.
Hahaha! I recognize these kinds of poop. Poop is very important around here, because all three dogs are so food sensitive. I feed raw too, but they still can't have many things or they'll erupt out the back end. Normal raw feeding poop days are good days. :)
