My dog (Golden Retriever, 5 years old) has had diarrhea for ~36 hours. It is not severe enough to where she has gone in the house, but she is hassling me to go out constantly, including multiple times throughout the night.

No other symptoms that I can tell (vomiting, lethargy, etc.).

I switched her food ~1.5 weeks ago, and I suspect maybe that is the culprit. But she did fine on it for the first 7-8 days, so I am not sure.

Any thoughts or remedies?

When our dogs get diarrhea or vomit we quit feeding for 24 hours. Then give science diet I/d for a day. That seems to do the trick.

Some clinics will let you drop off a stool sample-can often find the problem with cytology.

But-not always.

Pumpkin is great for a dog's digestive issues. Try that.

Canned pumpkin or like a giant fresh pumpkin?

canned. They will gobble it up. Should solve your problem.
So the greatest civilization is one where all citizens are equally armed and can only be persuaded, never forced. It removes force from the equation... and that's why carrying a gun is a civilized act.

Pumpkin or make sure and supplement food with some boiled white rice for a while. Not a DVM but related to one.

I did only white rice yesterday. Trying pumpkin today... hopefully that works.

Our Lab had the same thing. Vet tested for everything until a friend told me about Giardia. They can ingest the fungus/bacteria from almost anything. Have the vet test for it. It was a real bi*** to get her over it, but it can kill your dog if you don't treat it. Hope this helps.

Also, our vet ran a full screen on our Lab's poop. Hope that you find the answer.
