Dog Loose Stool – Home Remedied to Make them Feel Better 

You can tell a lot by a dog’s stool.  When a dog is experiencing a loose stool, it can be a result of several different causes such as intestinal parasites, eating from the trash, stress, or dietary problems.  In this article, we will discuss some at-home remedies that you can try before visiting the veterinarian.

Rice – This is a definite go-to when your dog is experiencing an upset stomach.  The thing about rice is that it is extremely bland so when it is boiled in water, it can help settle your dog’s stomach.

Protein – Plain proteins such as lean turkey meat, boneless skinless chicken, or eggs will help tackle gastrointestinal upset.

Canned Pumpkin – Pumpkin is used for dogs who are experiencing diarrhea and constipation.  Pumpkin is high in fiber and will help regulate their bowel movements.

Yogurt – Plain Greek yogurt is a great option for upset stomachs because it contains live cultures of bacteria that can provide a healthy gut.

Coconut Oil – This can be helpful in digestive disorders since it is directly absorbed in the GI tract.  Much like pumpkin, it can help to firm the stool.

If you try some of our recommendations at home and your dog continues to have a loose stool, it is time to visit your veterinarian.  Fast action can shorten your dog’s sick time and prevent any further health complications.
