  1. You might want to look closely at the amount of blood because a few drops is ok;
  2. You might want to stop feeding your dog bones;
  3. You might want to be proactive and not allow your dog to sniff other’s poop;   or
  4. You might want to make sure that your dog is properly hydrated when you go on a hike or long walk.

If none of the above remedies work then you should consult your vet to see what exactly might be causing the problem.
