What does the poop of a properly raw fed dog look like?

My dog has run the gamot from: small, dry-is, pale in color to small/med, not-quite-hard to loose. With the exception of the day I gave her canned mackeral

: , the loose ones were when she was sick with pancreatitis, and now, at about 20 days after diagnosis, we are at the small/med semi-hard stage. What does this indicate about her health and what/how much Im feeding her?

My dog's poop varies depending on what his main diet has been during the past few days. But, overall, he poops a lot less and the poop is more solid then when he was on dog food. There is far less odor and the poop disappears within days. When he was on dog food it would be around for months.

Yeah, it seems to depend on whether I feed yogurt and veggies that day but the main poop is small (we've always had small poops, I almost passed out when the pug that is boarding with me and eats Purina Beneful had a poop bigger than it's body) doesn't smell much and turns to white powder within 48 hours.

White poop is easy to find and clean up too...or it can just powder into the ground....a lot more pleasant than others....and not the volume

I never appreciated raw fed dog poop until we took in a friend's dog for a month. He was eating puppy food and we cut it down to half puppy food and half raw meat. His poop stank to high heaven and never went away. For the first time in years we had to de-poop the yard. We were spoiled because Jed's (our GSD's) poop is gone in a matter of days.

Isn't that funny...or rather, not! uke

Yeah, small (yellow-ish) poops w/the raw here that can be anywhere from runny to solid.
