If your dog has blood in their stool then you need to know what the causes of bloody diarrhea are. The most common cause of a dog pooping blood is colitis with blood, mucus or jelly being present. This will often not need any treatment from your vet. Knowing how to treat a dog with colitis and when to take them to your vet is very important.
Some of the causes though are more serious and getting your dog checked over straight away could make all the difference in their recovery.

The main cause of diarrhea with blood or blood in stool in dogs:
- Simple colitis most common + the poop will often also contain mucus or jelly
- Hemorrhagic gastroenteritis
- Infection such as parvovirus
- Severe parasite burden
- Intestinal foreign body
- Tumors of the colon
- Ruptured anal gland abscesses can appear as blood on stool

If your dog is otherwise well, eating + drinking, has no vomiting, is bright and active then a bland diet + monitor is likely sufficient.

If they are unwell in themselves in any way or there is lots of blood in the stool then it's always best to get checked out by your veterinarian.
