Blood in the stool can have many causes, but hard, dry?, food isn't one. Since some of the causes can be serious, yes see the vet, a good idea with any new puppy. Take the medical records you should have gotten with you and let your vet set up a schedule of immunizations. Also discuss flea and heartworm remedies. Plan to stick to a dry chow. They are better for a dogs teeth and jaws. I also find them easier to control portions to maintain proper weight.
