Hello, is this normal poop color? My cat is healthy, 4 years old and eats Stella & Chewy freeze dried raw and their Raw Coated Kibble. He just finished antibiotics a week ago for a swollen paw pad (due to allergies) thank you! I sometimes notice his poop is dark chocolate brown

Hi Summer,

Any variation of dark brown color to stool is typically normal. It should also be formed and firm but not hard. Make sure to check out our cat stool chart article on how to interpret colors and consistencies of cat stool and some of their health implications. I hope you find it helpful.

@chris-vanderhoof thank you for the article. Yes the poop is formed but soft. It’s dark brown like dark chocolate color. I smushed it for a better photo!
