Is black poop something I should be concerned with? My GSP has been pooping black. Is this from feeding him bloodworms?

While our feces are often tinted such as to reflect the foods we have been eating, black or brown are common shades irregardless of the constituents of our dinner. I would consider this a sign of good digestion.

Sounds normal to me! You should only start worrying if it's white or red.
